 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yesterday was my second time using this company.  Alan fixed a leaking gutter for me a year and half ago or so.  I had had it repaired twice prior with others but leak came back, its been good since Alan sorted it.
Had an issue on the roof this time something loose and banging on our bathroom skylight window.  A couple of Alans team called out (Alex and another guy) reviewed the issue and Alan gave me a couple of quote options over the phone.  Problem fixed there and then.  Alex also removed some weeds from our chimney stack and noticed we had a broken slate which he fixed at no extra charge (I had a spare one in the shed).  Really nice professional guy.  Very pleased with the service and the pricing.  Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and his team are extremely professional, punctual and tidy. We were experiencing major leaks that two other contractors had failed to repair over the course of 2 years. Alan’s team had the issues resolved within a week of making contact. They went above and beyond to achieve a high quality finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend South Dublin Roofing.
