Found Darren on this forum and just wanted to leave some feedback for anyone looking for a guttering / roofing supplier:


Maybe I was unlucky but I didn't have such a positive experience - we had work done but not the work that was needed to prevent further damage to an outside wall and as a result the water damage spread and now face the bill for internal damp and redecoration for the living room (as well as the original bedroom) AND our adjoining neighbour's living room wall which was also affected.


After further rain damage I had another company round - who replaced a cracked drainpipe on the front of the house for a much lower amount of ?150 and hey presto - leaks and further damage have stopped..


Unlucky experience? maybe? maybe not...

I also found Darren on the forum but had a really positive experience.


He came round very promtly and fixed our blocked drain there and then. He explained the issue and charged a very competitive price.


I'm very pleased and will definitely be calling him next Autumn to clear our drains out again.


Thanks very much Darren!

I'm afraid I've had a poor experience with Darren. He charged most of 1000 for repairing a leak on a high asphalt flat roof. He did oblige and come back when it started to leak again but I've subsequently found (as another roofer's photos testify) that his repair of deep cracks on the asphalt consisted of painting them with a dark material rather that dealing with the cracks properly. His time and materials were minimal.

I'm now much later having a roofer (highly recommended on EDF) start from scratch. He has shown me photos of the damaged and painted asphalt crack repairs. He has explained the the deep cracks will need special heat treatment and the whole roof will need special sun resistant treatment and it will be guaranteed for 3 years. I will feedback once the job is done.

just to add some positive feedback. called Darren this morning when rain started coming through rear loft roof. although a bank holiday, darren came around immediately, quickly identified the problem, replacing broken tiles and mending flashing. Of course it remains to be seen if the leak has been fixed but for now I am pretty impressed by Darren's prompt attention and clear explanations of what was wrong.

get another opinion mate ,an asphalted roof requires no such specail treatment .you use that on a flat roof done in 3 layer felted roofs by either a solution to hold shingle or a specail reflective paint asphalted roofs once cracked need to be renewed you just can not patch them unlike felted roofs

Proof is in the pudding. I've had continuous leaks with dreadful internal damage following expensive repair (and rerepair) of flat roof by Darren and excellent result after Russell Perring subsequently sorted it out.....I've got no axe to grind but would not wish similar experience on anyone else!

    • What a mess this morning. The back roads around Goodrich are full of diverted traffic. Nearly got hit by an obscenely-sized blue Audi (AE71… please get this obscenity off the ED roads or at the very least learn how to drive it.) 
    • I'd not really been keeping up on the National Guard situation, but having just had a quick Google, Portland is one of the cities where their use is pending. Obviously, anywhere inland is going to be much hotter than than coasts - even the Great Lakes cities like Chicago and Toronto hit very high temperatures when the Humidex is factored in - so I can't imagine what Kansas City could be like in high summer. Most of Kansas City is actually in Missouri, which is pretty strongly Trump country. The Mid West states tend to have higher gun ownership rates as well. Worth remembering if you're thinking about discussing politics in a bar. In general, if someone's wearing a Stetson and has a pick-up truck outside, they probably won't take well to talk about Democrats. And they probably have a gun. I'd stick to the Pacific coast. It's the most progressive part of the States, so at least you can open your mouth in a bar. The weather won't be as oppressive as the Mid West or the East Coast either. Vancouver, Seattle and Portland all have MLS teams - SF is getting one in the next couple of seasons - so the locals know something about football. It's worth driving the Pacific Coast Highway down from San Francisco towards LA, if you've not done it before. San Jose isn't really worth your time but Big Sur, Monterey, Santa Cruz and the beach towns like Capitola are well worth a visit. The National / State Park networks down the coast all provide decent campsites for next to nothing, and the whole area is really well set up for hiking, mountain-biking, canoeing and fishing.
    • It was very firmly closed 2 minutes ago between Friern and Barry (diversion down Friern). The actual barriers are Just west of the Henslowe road junction.
