Looking for a roofer

Recommended Posts

Hello,


First time post, as I was looking for a roofer myself. I used D&J about 4 years ago when we moved into our flat (Victorian conversion), which we knew had roof leaks. D&J seemed to do an okay job, but I'm not interested in using them this time round for a few reasons.


- their scaffolders were incredibly rude and damaged things in our neighbour's garden.

- the rudeness was not helped by D&J failing to tell me when the scaffolders were coming to take scaffolding down (8am on a Saturday...)

- The guys from D&J were an absolute joke when trying to install a loft ladder for us. I had to help this really unfit wheezing bloke lift the ladder up, then his mate in the loft exclaimed 'Wait, I can't see anything!' as if it somehow wasn't going to go dark when the ladder fit into place. Clearly not a planned operation... D&J didn't seem to think there was a problem that I paid full quoted price for the installation despite them requiring my assistance to lift and provide lighting for the job.

- I've already replaced some flashings and tiles on one side of the house this summer, and I'll find out shortly if water coming in on the other side is the result of their handywork not going the distance. But I'd rather another roofer take a look for the reasons above.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
