I am incredibly surprised by the last review. I have used David and his team for several years for various roofing and guttering matters and they have been most pleasant to deal with .. in fact they go out of their way to get things sorted by coming out of hours when they say that they will and their rates are most reasonable. None of the team have ever been aggressive or unwilling to engage on any occasion. They are most professional in attitude. They have never been pushy either and have always talked through options.

I first used them when another trader on this forum came to quote and stated that I needed a new roof for ?20K! David then came around to quote and was horrified by 1) the quote 2) that the trader had only given me that option. David and his team are my go to professionals and I have happily recommended them to my family and friends.

I am happy for people to IM me privately if they want further information.

Have used Dave and his team for 3 jobs in the past few years, including one major one (renewal of a flat roof on a loft conversion), and been very happy with their work. No problems with any of it so far (the oldest job was some repair work to the lead flashing on the roof parapets - this is a well known weak point for water penetration with Victorian terraces and had to be completely redone when we first bought our house, but it's been fine since the repair). They are always very quick to respond and their quotes are reasonable. As with the previous reviewer (jlc19 on 5.7), I was a bit surprised at the review on 4.7 - all I can say is that this hasn't been our experience at all and I am confident that if we did have a problem, we could have a sensible discussion with them about it. Also, on questions like whether it's the guttering or the roof itself, the latest job Dave has done for us turned out to be a problem with both - the roofing felt needed renewing on a section of roof at the back of our house (as water was getting into the ceiling of the back bedroom), but when the tiles were lifted it was clear that the problem had been made worse by the gutter/downpipe arrangement from our loft conversion, so we agreed that Dave and Pat would change that as well.

I used David after personal recommendations and he didn?t and continues to not disappoint. I brought a flat where inadequate roof work was covered up, after moving in I encountered major leaks in the Chimney area and bathroom roof. in time of need and with a lack of access, David was round on the day. He recognised immediately the problems with the roof and was back within days to complete the work. All with before and after photos and a guarantee.


The roof has been watertight since including in some torrential rain storms and I wouldn?t hesitate to recommend David and will be using him for all future jobs.

Another recommendation for David and Patrick. Despite being the busiest roofer in SE London, I contacted David yesterday as our gutters were overflowing with the heavy rain - he responded straightaway and he and Patrica arrived super early and it's all done. They are a fantastic team, we have used them for all our roof work for a good 5 years now - wouldn't work with anyone else and I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again David and Patrick.

David has done several roofing jobs for me over the last several years, most recently coming to sort out a guttering problem during the heavy rain. After doing that he was happy to wait awhile to discuss a damp wall issue with me ... and today turned up (as he always does) and sorted the problem having explained what he was going to do. Always good to see him. Reliable, friendly and very hard-working! Would recommend David & Norwood Roofing Specialists unreservedly.

David came over and inspected our dilapidated flat roof very quickly, and gave us a detailed quote within 24 hours. He was able to book us in quickly, and organised the scaffolding straight away. He and Patrick turned up nice and early and worked quickly through the day to get the whole job done, with no mess and no fuss.


They take real pride in their work and did a proper professional job, with no hidden costs, and a 10 year guarantee. The roof now looks great, so a strong recommendation from me too.

After finding it really difficult to find anyone to come and fix a leak we were having coming in the through our roof it was so fantastic to find David at Norwood Roofing Specialists. He came round really quickly, did an appraisal of the work required and gave us a quote. they came and did quite extensive repairs to our crumbling chimney and flashing swiftly after the initial visit, within the cost quoted and very quickly with a 5 year guarantee. Very happy with the job they did and they were also very polite and courteous. Highly recommend.

I completely agree with all of the positive reviews above for David at Norwood Roofing. He and his team are prompt, knowledgable, responsive, friendly, professional and do a very good job at a fair price. They also organised the scaffolding for the job, and seem to have a very tight, good team around them for all aspects of the job. From first visit to quote to completion of our roof job, he and his team were fast and fantastic. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to contact them if we need help again.

Copied from a thread above, here are his contact details: His mobile is 07412 000214 and his website is [norwoodroofing.co.uk].

Another shout out for David. He has helped us over the years and has always been highly professional and reliable. The recent storm had caused us to lose a slate tile. I emailed David yesterday and got the usual quick response and he came across today and fixed it. That?s what I call service! Highly recommended if you have any problems with your roof.

David is fantastic - he calls back and comes round so quickly, is full of knowledge, works at speed. He fixed a leaking chimney stack last year which we have not had a problem with since. This time, a much smaller issue, a hole made by squirrels. Three hours after calling him, all fixed.

I have used David and his team several times (I got his name from this Forum originally) for roof repairs over the last few years, so when there was some severe water penetration recently through a part of my roof he had not worked on before, I didn’t hesitate to contact him. He always responds quickly, is very reliable, and gives 10 year guarantees for his work, but the main thing is that I know I can trust him not to over-quote ie that he will only recommend doing works which are necessary to solve whatever the problem is. This is very important to me as it’s not as if I know anything about roofing, nor am I ever going to be climbing up there myself ! The scaffolders he uses are efficient and polite too. Long may David continue to work in the East Dulwich area!

I have no hesitation again in recommending Norwood Roofing Specialists. Guttering again blocked (surrounded by trees so to be expected) and during the recent torrential rain, water splashing down the side of my house. I left a message for David today for his next availability, he called back well within an hour and I was lucky enough that he was in the area and with me within 15 mins. That is service in itself.

He quickly established the problem and sorted it. He even sorted out blockages in other guttering about which I was unaware. We then discussed improving the layout of my guttering to minimise any future blockages and instantly he wanted to do the work in case of rain over the weekend. All done quickly and now looks far better & solid. Very reasonably priced as always. David is courteous, professional & goes over and beyond: I would not use anyone else. His contact details are 07412 000214.

Speedy response to initial message (Friday) to Norwood Roofing Specialists and job done (full flat roof replacement) in the equivalent of less than two full working days (bit of Tuesday, most of Wednesday, bit of Thursday), including scaffolding being put up and taken down. No fuss or mess, photos of before and after and explanations given about courses of action, etc. Lots of recommendations already that I gladly add to.

We used David for repairs to a front bay window as well as guttering on the bay and on roof. He was very helpful and timely beforehand and then punctual, helpful and hardworking on the day. All work carried out to a high standard, to the spec and we have had no problems since. Will definitely  use again. 

Just used David and Patrick for a flat roof repair. They were friendly and helpful and able to do the job within a week of me getting a quote. David provided photos of before and a video and photos after to show what they had done. David also arranged for the scaffolding to only be up for a couple of days. Will definitely use his company again for any future problems.

    • The original post was made by someone else, not the person whose post I was replying to! And the original post only mentioned Whateley Road (which has been clear of leaves whenever I have walked down it) and another unspecified road. My question was directed at CPR Dave, who (as was clear in the post I quoted)  said "The streets round here are a disgrace".
    • We had a delivery from Matoom last week. Sadly, as I had high expectations, especially as it wasn't cheap, I was underwhelmed. To start off with  positives, the corn cake starter was ok, and my partner said his green curry and coconut rice was tasty. I  (unadventurous I know but I wanted to do a direct comparison with Chern Thai) had Pad Thai (with tofu and veg). There was a lot of it, which was good. So much that I had half of it cold for breakfast the next morning. However, it was almost completely noodles, with hardly any veg or tofu. In fact there was so little tofu I don't actually remember eating any.  I do remember thinking that the stirred in egg must be some kind of tofu. I'm wondering now whether they were busy and forgot the tofu altogether! As it didn't come with peanuts (which I knew in advance as they weren't mentioned on the menu) I ordered a peanut sauce (?) separately, though I can no longer see this on the online menu. This didn't really help much taste wise  For comparison, we both had Pad Thai for lunch yesterday (Saturday) at Chern Thai, with gyoza to start. The Pad Thai was fantastic, good sized portions with lots of tofu and several different kinds of  really fresh lightly cooked vegetables.  The gyoza were also excellent, just the right amount of crispiness and with a good amount of dipping sauce. The meal  was also very well priced. I realise it's not very fair to directly compare the price of delivered dishes to dishes from  an eat-in lunch menu, but in terms of overall value it was much better. And the service was lovely. In case our Matoom delivery  was a one off glitch, we will book a table and eat in there, but so far I am disappointed. ETA: Just realised this thread is about BYO. Chern Thai used to be solely BYO, but it now has a full drinks menu with Thai beer on draught and  wine. You can still BYO, but there is a charge. We had jasmine tea, which was very nice.
    • Hi Angelina - whilst I’m not close enough to this decision (as a candidate not a councillor), I would hope there will be public consultation if this situation arises again next year. As a local resident, I will push for this, if I do become a councillor. Hello - I will ask for this to be updated as soon as possible, as I appreciate people will be looking for this info!
    • You could try Merrifields, the shoe maker on the left from  Goose Green roundabout going towards  the station? He is very helpful,  and if memory serves can also repair things like belts and bags, so worth asking (maybe phone first).
