looking for recommendations for a great local roofer, and good Damp specialists

Hello, I'd love recommendations from forum users (not businesses thanks) for a really good local(ish) roofer, and an excellent Damp company that people have had good experiences of using - I need a weird mystery Damp stain diagnosed! And I think I should get a roofer to check the seams/slates of a roof join to check it's not coming from there too. Thanks all so much.

Just wanted to add my recommendation for Russell Perring at RJP Roofing and Building. They just carried out a number of repairs on our house, the work is good quality and they were quick and the price was reasonable. 07852 972052 [email protected].


Steve Mumford has done jobs for us in the past and we asked him to quote in November. Strangely he never sent the quote after the site visit and didn't reply to various messages we left.

Hello, does anyone know if Russell Perrin is still operating? He has such good recommendations I would like to contact him. I sent a message a few days ago and tried calling with no reply and no a/m to leave a message. Maybe he's on holiday?

Sorry this is probably too late for you, but yes he is.


I texted him on Friday because I was concerned about the quality of the rebuilding of my bay roof which was recently done by others as part of an insurance claim (annoyingly, as he had done a very good job on it himself a few years back and it was still under his ten year guarantee).


He phoned me up within half an hour, said he would come to have a look at it the following morning (today - ie a Saturday), came as promised, told me exactly what had been done wrong (GRRRRRR), showed me on other nearby houses how it should have been done, and made sure I understood exactly what I needed to tell the builders/other roofers for it to be put right.


He also said if necessary he would come and do it himself (and charge the insurance company!).


I really can't recommend him too highly - oh and sorry but I've been misspelling his name for years, as I found out when I tried to google it - it's Perring not Perrin. Apologies!

    • Shame, she seemed a decent Transport Secretary, it's not as if Grant Shapps never did anything wrong.  It's also a shame that some seem to enjoy these sorts of revelations. She declared the offence so not sure why she needed to resign.  I thought that in the UK we had a culture of forgiveness. 
    • It looks like indiscretions, crimes, incompetency etc  by MPs generates a lot of responses so it might be a good time to start a new thread every time a new scandal emerges. Heaven knows there are enough of them from all parties.
    • It's not Thames Water's responsibility to keep Peckham Rye free of water, no. But the recent works designed to to hold water in the park: “capturing about 6 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of surface water and releasing it very slowly”, where undertaken to stop houses from flooding. The increased risk of houses flooding is the result of a drainage and sewage system which are in dire need of upgrading / modernising, and unable to cope. And this, Thames Water are responsible for. We are paying for their under investment (over many, many years) in the drainage and sewage system; In cash terms - funding the works to modify the park, holding more water in it to, and through the loss of amenity that follows from the park being waterlogged more frequently.  
    • Aria helped us out this week. He replaced ballcocks in our loft tanks. These had caused a leak whilst we were away on holiday. He also installed a new radiator. Responsive to our requirements. Communication was really good, costs reasonable.  Nice guy. Very happy to recommend.
