Looking for a roofer

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.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
