“Kyle and his team at Alliance Roofing London recently completed a full replacement of our flat roof with a new WarmDeck system. From start to finish, I was very happy with the service provided. The team were professional, polite, hardworking and kept the area clean and tidy throughout the works. Communication was excellent, every stage of the job was clearly explained, and regular progress photos were provided, which gave reassurance throughout the project. The work was completed in a timely manner and the quality of workmanship and materials used appears to be of a very good standard.”
