I think you can rule out N. clathrata, it doesn't have annulated legs, like this one has (N. montana is the only Neriene species that does).
Actually the size rules out clathrata, as well as a lot of other Linyphiids.
N. montana is one of the larger species (up to 7.5mm).
I don't know about Drapetisca alteranda, does it occur in the UK? |

Roberts only lists D. socialis as a UK (or European) species; and while this may fit the photo, it is possibly a bit on the small size. The same goes for Lepthyphantes minutus. |

Frits_b beat me to it
Personally I think you're dealing with N.montana - though closer shots of the palps would help
I'm thinking Drapetisca alteranda is an alternate name for Drapetisca socialis

I don't think palp shots will help on this one as it looks like an sub-adult male, one more moult should help.
