Another recommendation for this firm, headed by Dave O'Donnell - they arrived well on time on 3 occasions (for the second the weather would have made the work unsafe, but we immediately rescheduled and the sun shone on that) - they work to spec and quote (which is reasonable) and the quality of their work is excellent - and they cleaned up well at the end. If they find (as they did with me) a further problem they photograph it so that you can see what they are talking about. The work they have done included re-fitting guttering (3rd Story) , re-seating and stabilising a ridge tile and re-cementing flashing along an extension roof. They offer a 10 year guarantee.

Happy to recommend Norwood Roofing too. David O'Donnell checked out what needed to be done to cure damp appearing in the house. Number of different jobs quoted for including missing pointing (damaged by very wet summer), reflanching of chimney stacks shared with neighbours, and leaky guttering. Clear photos taken of work completed were provided. And the work looks to be very carefully done (with the pointing matching existing colour and so on) - we can see some of this without photos.


AND no mess left outside or inside. Very pleased and relieved to have had the work done so quickly.

Another recommendation for Norwood roofing. David came round promptly to give quote and secured a hazardous area before starting works. Great job all round. Before and after photos taken of damaged area with a 10 year guarantee provided too. Would not hesitate to recommend David and Patrick.

I would like to also offer my recommendation.


Change of gutters to front and back of house completed to good standard and fair price.


Very contactable and work completed at short notice and efficiently.


There was a subsequent issue (not identifiable at installation) which was fixed next morning after my call and without mention of cost.


I will not go anywhere else in future for my roofing needs.

Yes- I agree with everything people are saying about David O'Donnell at Norwood roofing. They arrived exactly when they said they would - and then went the extra mile when we discovered another unrelated problem and they came back to do that too while the scaffolding was still up. Reasonable price. Nice people.

Another recommendation for David and Patrick. We found them to be prompt, professional, considerate and work completed to excellent standard for a reasonable price. We had some guttering replaced, a bit of repointing and some other small repairs and were very happy with the finish. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you David!

David and Patrick replaced a faulty downpipe that was causing a wall to become very wet, reconfigured some badly installed downpipe, fixed our guttering and did some repointing to boot. Also offered some advice and were thoroughly nice guys to have around. We'll be using them again. (Thanks guys!)

    • No doubt the schools in Harrogate are being discussed on the East Harrogate Forum or whatever. Dulwich College is being discussed because it's local. Saying "ooh, there were loads of schools mentioned" is a bit dismissive. It was Dulwich College that referred sex abuse allegations about pupils to the police and Dulwich College that used the spectre of the police to suppress dissent. 🤔
    • Hi, I was just wondering what experiences any of you have had in relation to an Independent Panel review relating to the Permanent Exclusion of a SEN child. 1. General experience Any experiences, positive or negative, in general? 2. Clerks Associates UK Any experience of this entity acting as an "independent clerk" to an Independent Review Panel in a matter involving a Permanent Exclusion of a SEN pupil, also involving discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. There is limited publicly available information with regards to this "independent clerk"; however, I can see from their Annual Report & Accounts at Companies House that they are a small, privately owned organisation.   I am very concerned that there is a clear and material risk that they are highly dependent for their revenues and cash flow from the business that they receive from the school and its parent Trust (which has 9 schools in total under its management) who have appointed them. I also note that the Trust has a material employee relations dispute with their staff over underpayment of maternity pay whilst materially increasing the salaries of the highest paid Trust executives and other highly paid staff (presumably the Head Teachers). https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/community/teachers-at-six-charter-schools-walk-out-in-first-of-four-strike-days-planned-for-this-month/ Given the current situation, we have no choice but to engage in this process of an Independent Panel Review; however, we are concerned as to various elements including this one which is a key role in providing independence. 3. Independent SEN expert We have the right to an independent SEN expert to review the matter and provide their opinion to the Independent Review Panel. The concept is that this person is supposedly acting "independently" and also solely in respect of the SEN elements of the matter. We do not however know who this person is, their experience or level of independence. The last information that I can find in the public domain about the effectiveness of an Independent SEN expert is a UK govt report from 2014 which portrays a very mixed experience for parents. Hence, we are seeking to understand if anyone has any more recent experience of an Independent SEN expert in relation to an Independent Panel Review. Many thanks for any thoughts that you have based on your experience. For reasons of confidentiality, it is perhaps better to send any replies to me directly. Many thanks
    • Hang in there, friends. Most of us appreciate that you're trying you best and these companies are a nightmare!
    • I agree about the site and buying another one, but I was responding to a query about the old site. Which was no longer fit for purpose. Selling that and not buying another locally was just money for old rope for the foreign owners, as was moving the DO to an unsuitable building too far away.
