A Local Roofer Who Actually Turns Up
Finding a reliable roofer in the South Wales valleys should not be difficult, but most homeowners have a story about the tradesman who never came back, the quote that changed halfway through the job, or the "repair" that failed the first time the weather turned. Gwent Roofing and Building Maintenance was built to be the opposite of that experience.
We are a family-run roofing firm based in Tredegar, run day to day by founder Geraint Ford. When you call, you speak to the person who will be on your roof — not a call centre, not a salesperson working to a commission. That single point of contact is why so much of our work comes from neighbours, relatives and repeat customers of jobs we finished years ago.
Valley roofs take a beating. Exposed hillside terraces, driving rain off the Brecon Beacons and decades-old slate all conspire to find the weak point in a roof covering. We know the housing stock here — from Victorian miners' terraces in Tredegar and Abertillery to post-war semis in Ebbw Vale and modern estates around Blackwood — and we specify materials that survive the local weather rather than whatever is cheapest that week.
What Our Roofers Do
We are a full-service roofing contractor, which means one team handles everything from a slipped slate to a complete re-roof with new fascias, soffits and guttering. Nothing is subcontracted out to a stranger.
Roof Repairs
Slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashings, ridge and verge repointing and storm damage — usually completed same week.
Roof Replacements
Full strip-and-recover with new breathable membrane, treated battens and your choice of slate or tile.
Flat Roofing
GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and torch-on felt systems for extensions, dormers, garages and porches.
Fascias & Soffits
UPVC fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement that ends rotten timber and repainting for good.
Guttering
Gutter cleaning, realignment and full replacement to stop damp walls and overflowing downpipes.
General Roofing
Chimney work, lead flashing, moss removal, roof surveys and pre-sale reports for solicitors.

Emergency Roofers, 24/7
Storms in the valleys rarely wait for office hours. If water is coming through a ceiling, tiles have come off in high winds, or a chimney flashing has failed, call us at any hour and we will make the roof safe and watertight first, then arrange the permanent repair.
We also produce the photographic evidence and written reports insurers ask for after storm damage, which makes claims far less painful. If you are unsure whether your damage counts as an emergency, ring anyway — advice over the phone costs nothing.

Roofer FAQs
How quickly can a roofer get to my property?
We aim to respond to every enquiry within one hour during working hours, and we carry out emergency roof repairs across Blaenau Gwent 24/7. For non-urgent work, most free estimates are booked within two to three working days.
Do you charge for a roof inspection or estimate?
No. Roof inspections and written estimates are completely free and carry no obligation. We photograph the problem areas so you can see exactly what we have found before you decide anything.
Are your roofers insured?
Yes. Gwent Roofing and Building Maintenance carries full public liability insurance, and every job is covered by a written workmanship guarantee.
Which areas do your roofers cover?
We are based in Tredegar and cover Blaenau Gwent and the surrounding South Wales valleys, including Ebbw Vale, Abertillery, Brynmawr, Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Blackwood, Bargoed, Blaenavon and Crickhowell.
Can you repair rather than replace my roof?
Wherever it is safe and cost-effective, yes. We give honest assessments — if a localised repair will give you another ten years, we will tell you rather than sell you a full re-roof.
