From Apprentice to Master Roofer — A Valleys Story
Geraint Ford picked up his first slate at sixteen, apprenticing under experienced roofers in the valleys of South Wales. Over the next twenty-five years, he built a reputation the old-fashioned way — by turning up on time, doing the job right, and leaving every site cleaner than he found it.
He founded Gwent Roofing and Building Maintenance to serve homeowners who were tired of unreliable contractors, missed appointments, and shoddy work. Every project — from a single slate repair to a full loft conversion — receives the same attention to detail.
Today, the company serves homeowners across Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Blackwood, and the surrounding valleys. Whether it's a terraced house in Abertillery or a detached property in Crickhowell, Geraint and his team understand the unique challenges that South Wales properties face — from driving rain and exposed ridgelines to ageing slate roofs and Victorian-era chimneys.
No job is too big or too small. That's not a slogan — it's how Geraint has run his business for over two decades.
How We Work — Our Standards
Every job starts with an honest assessment. If your roof doesn't need replacing, we'll tell you. If a roof repair will hold for another ten years, we'll recommend that instead. We don't upsell, we don't pressure, and we don't leave until the job is finished properly.
We use manufacturer-approved materials, follow current building regulations, and provide written guarantees on every project. Our work is fully insured, and we carry public liability cover for your peace of mind.
Honest Assessments
We tell you what you need — not what makes us the most money. If a repair will do, we say so.
Written Guarantees
Every job comes with a clear, written guarantee. You know exactly what's covered and for how long.
Clean Sites, Every Time
We leave your property cleaner than we found it. No debris, no mess, no excuses.
Direct Communication
You deal with Geraint directly — not a call centre. One point of contact from quote to completion.
