One Builder for the Whole Property
Most homeowners in the valleys end up juggling three or four different trades to get one job over the line: a builder for the walls, a roofer for the covering, someone else for the guttering, and another for the making good. Gwent Roofing and Building Maintenance exists to remove that headache. We are a building contractor and a roofing contractor in the same team, so a single point of contact carries your project from first survey to final clean-up.
Founded and run by Geraint Ford in Tredegar, we have spent more than twenty-five years working on the housing stock of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taf. That means Victorian terraces with solid stone walls, inter-war semis with tired render, and modern estates where the original build quality has not aged well. Each needs a different approach, and experience is the only thing that tells you which.
Everything starts with a free site visit and an honest conversation. We will tell you what the work genuinely involves, what it will cost, what it does not need, and how long it will take. You then get a fixed written quotation — not a rough figure that grows once the scaffold is up.
Our Building Services
From a full two-storey extension to repointing a garden wall, we take on building work of every size across South Wales.
House Extensions
Single and two-storey extensions, from foundations and steelwork through to plastering and the finished roof.
Loft Conversions
Dormer and Velux conversions that add a proper bedroom or office without extending your footprint.
New Builds
Groundworks, blockwork and full shell construction for new homes and garden buildings.
Roofing & Re-Roofs
Complete pitched and flat roofing services, including strip-and-recover and structural timber repairs.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
UPVC rainwater goods that end rot, damp walls and endless repainting.
Brickwork & Rendering
Repointing, garden and retaining walls, chimney rebuilds, patching and full silicone or sand-and-cement render.
Extensions & Structural Work
Extending is almost always better value than moving once stamp duty, agents' fees and removals are counted. A well-built single-storey rear extension adds usable living space and, in most valley towns, more value than it costs to build.
We handle the whole build: setting out and foundations, drainage diversions, blockwork and cavity insulation, steel beams where openings are formed, roof structure and covering, windows and doors, plastering, and making good the existing house so the join does not look like an afterthought.
Building control is involved from the start, and we book inspections at each stage so there is never a scramble for sign-off at the end.
- Fixed written price before any work begins
- Written build programme with realistic dates
- Building regulations compliance managed for you
- Roofing carried out in-house, not subcontracted
Property Maintenance That Prevents Bigger Bills
The vast majority of expensive building problems we are called to start as something small and cheap: an overflowing gutter that soaks a wall for two winters, a hairline crack in render that lets water into the blockwork, a loose chimney pot, or perished pointing on an exposed gable.
We offer straightforward maintenance for homeowners, landlords and small commercial premises across the valleys — repointing, render repairs, damp and timber repairs, chimney work, external decoration, gutter clearing and general repairs. Landlords in particular use us for end-of-tenancy and pre-winter checks so problems get caught before tenants report them.
If you are not sure what is causing a problem, we will come and look for free and tell you honestly whether it needs work now or can safely wait.

Building Services FAQs
What building services do you offer?
General building and property maintenance: house extensions, loft conversions, new builds, brickwork and blockwork, rendering, chimney repairs, structural repairs, patios and driveways, and full external property maintenance alongside all roofing trades.
Do you handle planning permission and building regulations?
We work to current building regulations on every project and can advise on whether your work needs planning permission or falls under permitted development. We liaise with building control inspectors throughout the build.
How long does a house extension take?
A single-storey rear extension in the valleys typically takes eight to twelve weeks from breaking ground to handover, depending on size, groundworks and weather. We give a written programme before we start.
Do you offer smaller property maintenance jobs?
Yes. Repointing, garden walls, rotten timber, damp repairs, gutter and fascia work and general repairs are all part of what we do — no job is too small for a call.
Are your builders insured and guaranteed?
We are fully insured with public liability cover and provide a written workmanship guarantee on all building and roofing work.
