Our Company

You are probably looking at this website because you have discovered damp or timber problems in your property or in a property you’re interested in purchasing.

On that basis, I am sure that I can help you. Before I do I would like to tell you about me and my business.

My name is Jamie Johnson and I started trading as Stay Warm and Dry in 2019, having worked in the damp proofing industry since the age of 16.

That’s 12 years of experience and counting.

If you’re wondering how it got started, the gentleman below will tell you.

Over to you, Steve!

How the Business Started

My name is Stephen Parry and I founded Stay Warm & Dry in May 2000 having worked for many years in the property and damp proofing industry.

I have served hundreds of customers throughout Derby and Nottingham and built an excellent reputation of which I’m proud.

I’ll be taking a back seat and a less active role in the business as I am easing into retirement.

Jamie worked with me for years as my main plasterer, learning the business day in day out. I trust him in taking over and I, of course, shall be involved to a degree – though customers are unlikely to meet me.

Stay Warm & Dry from 2019

Unfortunately Steve passed away in September 2020 leaving a huge hole in our hearts. We are dedicated to fulfilling Steve’s role within Stay Warm and Dry and will ensure the business he single-handedley built will be looked after to the best of our ability. We can’t thank Steve enough for his knowledge, support and inspiration over past years.
