Your Local Team in Pontprennau
Pontprennau is a few minutes north of our yard in St Mellons, up past Pentwyn and the Llanedeyrn interchange. It is one of Cardiff's newer suburbs, and that changes the kind of work homeowners here call us about.
The roofs are comparatively young, so full re-roofs are rare. What does come up is the detail work: dry verges and ridge systems that have loosened, flashings around dormers and porches, leaking conservatory and extension junctions, and roofline or gutter problems that only show after a heavy spell of rain.
The bigger demand here is outside and inside the house rather than on top of it. Original builder-grade driveways and small patios are now at the age where owners want them replaced with block paving or resin-bound surfacing, close-board fencing is due after a couple of storm seasons, and rendered elevations want cleaning, repairing or upgrading. Inside, kitchens and bathrooms fitted with the house are being brought up to date.
Whatever the job, the terms are the same: a free, no-obligation site visit, a fixed price in writing rather than a day rate, our own five-strong team doing the work, full public and employer's liability insurance, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee once it is finished.
- Where we work from
- Crumlin Drive, St Mellons, Cardiff. Pontprennau is part of our regular working area, alongside St Mellons, Old St Mellons, Cardiff, Llanrumney.
- Nineties and two-thousands estate housing
- Interlocking concrete tiles, dry verges, uPVC rooflines and rendered or part-rendered elevations. Sound roofs where it is the details and trims that need attention.
- Detached family homes with driveways
- Original block or tarmac drives laid with the house are now lifting, spreading or staining. Relaying with a proper sub-base is one of our most common local jobs.
- Conservatories and rear extensions
- Junctions between a conservatory roof and the main wall are a frequent source of leaks once the original seals and flashings have aged.
- Enclosed rear gardens
- Close-board fencing, gates, patios and decking on modest plots, where neat edges and correct falls matter more than raw size.
What We Get Called Out For Most in Pontprennau
Driveway replacement and widening
Block paving or resin-bound surfacing over a compacted sub-base, with edge restraint and drainage planned so it does not sink or pool.
Patios and garden hard landscaping
Level, well-drained patios laid on a full bed rather than dabs, so slabs do not rock or stain within a couple of winters.
Fencing and gates after storm damage
New posts set properly, panels replaced and gates hung square, so the boundary survives the next blow rather than needing doing again.
Kitchen and bathroom updating
Original fittings replaced, with units set level and square, worktops fitted and wet areas sealed so they stay watertight.

No inflated claims, just what we can actually stand behind.
Local rather than city-wide
St Mellons to Pontprennau is a short run, so a quote visit or a return trip is never a problem.
Honest about what a newer roof needs
We are not going to sell you a re-roof on a twenty-five year old roof. If it is a flashing, a verge or a gutter, that is what we quote.
Driveways built from the ground up
The dig, the sub-base and the edges are what make a drive last. That is where our time and your money go.
Whole-property capability
Roof, render, drive, garden, kitchen and bathroom from one insured team on one fixed price.
Guaranteed for 10 years
Completed work carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee, and every quote is free and without obligation.
The Problems Pontprennau Properties Actually Have
Building age, ground conditions and how exposed a property is all change what fails first, and what the right fix is.
Loose dry verges and ridge systems
Modern dry-fix systems are quick to install and quick to work loose. A rattling verge trim is a cheap fix now and a wind-damaged gable later.
Conservatory and extension junctions
Where a newer roof meets an older wall is almost always where water gets in on properties of this age.
Builder-grade driveways failing early
Original drives were often laid to a price rather than a depth. Rutting, spreading edges and standing water usually mean the sub-base, not the surface, is the problem.
Staining and algae on paving
Shaded, enclosed frontages green over quickly. Jet washing lifts it and resealing keeps it off longer than scrubbing does.
Exposed edges near open ground
The northern and eastern edges of Pontprennau catch open weather, which is hard on fencing, gates and anything not fixed down properly.

Pontprennau, Your Questions Answered
Do you cover the whole of Pontprennau?
Yes, across Pontprennau and the neighbouring Pentwyn side, including the newer developments on the northern edge towards the motorway.
Do you actually cover Pontprennau?
Yes. Pontprennau 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 Pontprennau is a normal short trip rather than a long-distance job we reluctantly take on.
Is the quote free in Pontprennau?
Yes. Quotes and site visits in Pontprennau 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 Pontprennau?
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 Pontprennau 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 Pontprennau guaranteed?
Every job carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee: roofing, rendering and driveways alike. That guarantee is the same in Pontprennau 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 Pontprennau?
Yes. Waste goes with us, the working area is cleared, and we walk the finished job with you before we leave.
My roof is only twenty years old. Is a leak a big job?
Usually not. On roofs of that age the problem is normally a flashing, a dry verge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter. We will tell you exactly what we find and quote only for what needs doing.
Can you replace the original driveway that came with the house?
Yes, and it is one of our most requested jobs here. We dig out the old surface, build a proper compacted sub-base and lay block paving or resin-bound surfacing with edge restraints and drainage.
