Your Local Team in Newport
Newport is a short run east from our base in St Mellons, which makes it one of the areas we work in most. Maindee, Caerleon, Malpas, Bettws, Rogerstone, Ringland, Allt-yr-yn and Newport city centre are all inside easy reach, so a site visit does not need to be scheduled around a long drive.
The city's housing is a mix that keeps our whole range of trades busy: rows of late-Victorian terraces near the centre, large interwar and post-war estates, seventies and eighties family housing on the outskirts, and newer builds along the river and the Celtic Manor side of the city.
We handle new roofs and roof repairs, rendering and external wall insulation, block paving and resin drives, patios, fencing, jet washing, plus kitchen fitting, bathroom fitting, painting and decorating. One contractor covering the whole property means nobody is pointing the finger at another trade when something needs sorting.
Every Newport job is quoted free, priced as a fixed sum rather than a day rate, carried out by our own five-strong team, and backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee. We are fully insured, and available 24/7 for emergency roof repairs.
- Where we work from
- Crumlin Drive, St Mellons, Cardiff. Newport is part of our regular working area, alongside Cardiff, St Mellons, Castleton, Marshfield, Caerphilly.
- City-centre and Maindee terraces
- Slate roofs, shared valleys, rendered frontages and small forecourts. Repairs here need respect for the original construction and care about the neighbours either side.
- Interwar and post-war estates
- Malpas, Bettws and Ringland housing typically runs tiled roofs with timber rooflines. Fascias, soffits and gutters are usually the first things due attention.
- Riverside and low-lying property
- Housing closer to the Usk deals with damp, wind and exposure. Render condition, ground drainage and driveway run-off all matter more here than they do on higher ground.
- Modern estates on the edges
- Rogerstone, Duffryn and the newer developments are mostly after driveways, patios, fencing and rendered finishes rather than structural roof work.
What We Get Called Out For Most in Newport
Storm damage after a blow
Exposed Newport streets lose ridge tiles and lift flashings when the wind comes up the Severn estuary. Those are 24/7 calls and we treat them as such.
Roofline replacement
Rotten fascias and split guttering soak the wall behind them. Replacing the roofline is one of the most cost-effective jobs on a Newport semi.
Driveways that have given up
Old tarmac and cracked concrete are common here. Block paving and resin-bound surfaces both solve it; we will tell you honestly which suits your ground.
Render repair on exposed elevations
Cracked or blown render on a weather-facing wall lets water in and then holds it there. Patching without dealing with the cause simply moves the problem.

The Problems Newport Properties Actually Have
Building age, ground conditions and how exposed a property is all change what fails first, and what the right fix is.
Estuary wind and exposure
Newport catches wind coming off the Severn. Ridge tiles, verges and dry-verge details take the brunt, and a loose one in autumn becomes a missing one by spring.
Damp in low-lying ground
Closer to the river, ground stays wet. Driveway drainage, patio falls and render condition all need planning around water that has nowhere quick to go.
Ageing flat roofs on extensions
Rear extensions from the seventies and eighties are everywhere in Newport, and the original felt is long past its working life on most of them.
Solid walls and heat loss
Much of the older stock is solid-walled and expensive to heat. External wall insulation with a rendered finish tackles the warmth and the appearance in one job.
Moss on shaded north-facing roofs
Moss holds water against tiles and blocks gutters. Left long enough it turns a maintenance job into a repair job.

Newport, Your Questions Answered
Which parts of Newport do you work in?
Across the city: Maindee, Caerleon, Malpas, Bettws, Ringland, Allt-yr-yn, Rogerstone, Duffryn, the city centre and the surrounding villages.
Do you actually cover Newport?
Yes. Newport is part of our regular working area. We are based at Crumlin Drive in St Mellons, Cardiff, and work across Cardiff, Newport, the Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly and Penarth, so Newport is a normal short trip rather than a long-distance job we reluctantly take on.
Is the quote free in Newport?
Yes. Quotes and site visits in Newport are free and carry no obligation. We look at the job in person and put a fixed price in writing; there is no charge for coming out and no pressure to book.
How much does the work cost in Newport?
Price depends on the property and the scope, so we do not publish figures we could not stand behind. What we can promise is how it is priced: a fixed quote for the job, never a day rate, so the number does not climb while the work is underway.
Can you get to Newport in an emergency?
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency roof repairs, including active leaks and storm damage. Call and we will tell you honestly when we can be with you rather than making a promise we cannot keep.
Is your work in Newport guaranteed?
Every job carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee: roofing, rendering and driveways alike. That guarantee is the same in Newport as it is anywhere else we work.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry both public liability and employer's liability insurance, and we are happy to show you the documents before anyone sets foot on your property.
How experienced is the team?
MB Construction has been trading since 2019 and the trade experience behind it runs to more than 15 years. The team is five strong, so jobs are properly staffed from start to finish.
Will you tidy up afterwards in Newport?
Yes. Waste goes with us, the working area is cleared, and we walk the finished job with you before we leave.
Can you replace fascias, soffits and guttering as well as the roof?
Yes. Roofline work is often done at the same time as roofing because the scaffold and access are already there, which keeps the overall cost down.
Do you take on full driveway replacements in Newport?
Yes: block paving and resin-bound driveways, dug out to a proper depth with a compacted sub-base and edge restraints so the surface holds its shape.
