Roofer & guttering repair recommendation


Pickle

Recommended Posts

I would also definately recommend David and his team from Norwood Roofing.


I've used them a couple of times, both times as a matter of urgency and they've done two great jobs for me.


One repair was to the guttering/pointing and the other was a leak in the roof. Both jobs were completed with a 10 year warranty.


He is a really friendly guy and knows his stuff. I would not hesitate to use him again.

We used David O'Connell for the first time this week after a blocked gutter at the top of the house and some defective cladding conspired to bring about a water leak. He responded promptly to my call, came to look at the problem the next day and then arranged to come back within days to fix the problem. Roof now fixed, blocked guttering section cleared and the rest of it also checked out. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who finds themselves with a similar problem.

I contacted Dave, after reading reviews on EDF.

Dave and his team came and fixed a rather large leak in my roof and repaired my guttering, arrived on time and promptly sorted problems out.


Would recommend!

Since my post last year, David and Patrick have visited on two more occasions. The first time was to replace a spiggott that had fallen off a downpipe that was causing a leak into the house, and the second to carry out some repointing and rendering at roof level. On both occasions, David was very reliable and the jobs carried out professionally, efficiently and in good time. Very happy to give another recommendation.

I contacted David and his team when we needed our gutters replaced and he came and gave a quote and made some recommendations for some pointing work and roof repairs which we had thought also needed sorting. His team came over on time the next week and were polite and efficient with their work. Extremely happy with the work and would definitely recommend and use again.

I called Norwood Roofing a few weeks ago on the strength of this thread and was not disappointed. David came to look at the job the next day (two jobs - fixing some leaking guttering, and replacing a flat roof). I was happy with his quoted price and booked him to come the following week to carry out the work.


It sheeted with rain the day he was due to come so he fitted us in on the following Sunday. He came with Alex and Patrick and all three just got on with it without fuss or any real disruption to us, and were friendly and polite. Everything seems great - it has rained since and no leaks!


So I would certainly use them again, and recommend them to others.

Great experience with David and Patrick from Norwood Roofing. They are friendly, trustworthy, tidy and did a brilliant repair job on our roof - in fact, they did more work than originally quoted for but only charged the original amount we agreed. They sent photos of the job that evening too so I had a record. Very happy to recommend them.

I would also like to add how pleased I was with David's service. I selected David to fix my mothers roof based on the recommendations from EDF. I was particularly concerned as my mother is in her 70's and I knew I wouldn't be around to meet with David when he arrived. I had no need to fear as my mother said he was such a nice man. He was totally courteous and he took before and after pictures so as to prove he had done a great job - even though we didn't ask for pictures. He could have easily had said the job was done as we would never know until there was damage.


I can't recommend this guy enough.


I'm about to call him now to look at my roof.


Thanks EDF members.

Another recommendation for the team at Norwood roofing specialists. Dave and his team did a great job putting in new guttering. They even sorted a few problems with our neighbours gutters and pipes that they spotted, very kind of them.

I found the team hardworking, reliable and easy to contact. Big thumbs up.

We recently used David and his team for a tricky job to try and stop an intermittent leak from our balcony into the room below. Tricky in the sense that the leak is intermittent and it's difficult to work out exactly where it's coming from, so David has devised a first fix that should cover most of the potential causes/problems - when we thought our only option would be to do something much more major to the balcony.


He was really responsive to emails, explained all the options clearly, team turned up on time and at a fair price (more than fair if this fix stops our leak!). Very happy to deal with them.

A recommendation for a roofer: David (O'Connell): 07412000214, 02086536306, [email protected].


He repaired my leaking roof after one roofer had attempted to do so several times just making it worse (but still taking the money). Other roofers came, didn't know how to fix it and did not even bother to give me a quote. David 'came, saw and conquered'. What I also appreciated was that he quoted promptly (reasonable,) replied to messages and turned up when he said he would, on time!

Another recommendation for David and Patrick - David came quickly to quote, quoted a reasonable price and they were able to complete the work within a couple of days. Both v nice and polite too. This is the second time I've used them - first time to fix a flat roof above a bay window (about a year ago - no leaks or damp since) and this time to sort out some pointing and cement work around a window. Will definitely use again!

Another recommendation for David - David has helped us twice with our old roof. This time it was more urgent as pigeons had taken advantage of easy access and he came the very next day, shooed away the unwelcome house guest and filled the hole. Many thanks

We used David O'Connell and his team to repair a leaking valley and de-moss the roof.

He came round same day to review the probelm, 3 days later he came to complete the work and all was exactly as scoped. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to all on this thread for the recommendations.


David and Pat came out very quickly to inspect the cause of the leak in our building and were available to fix the roof and gutter at short notice. Over a week has now passed and even after the very heavy rain this morning there's no more leak!


Other roofers we contacted had recommended scaffolding but David and Pat were able to complete the work with their ladders, meaning a significant saving for us. We were also given a 10-year written guarantee for the work there and then.


We're very happy and would echo all the recommendations on this thread.

    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
