Your Local Team in Vale of Glamorgan
We work right across the Vale of Glamorgan: Barry, Dinas Powys, Sully, Wenvoe, Rhoose, Llantwit Major, Cowbridge and the villages between them. It is a mixed patch, from exposed coastal housing to stone-built village property inland, and the two need very different approaches.
Coastal Vale properties take a hammering. Salt-laden air, driving rain and open exposure attack roof fixings, render, timber and fencing far quicker than a sheltered street in the city. Work that would be acceptable inland simply does not last out here.
Inland, around Cowbridge and the surrounding villages, there is far more older stone and rendered property with slate roofing. That means traditional detailing, careful render specification and repairs that suit the building rather than fighting it.
Across both we cover new roofs, roof repairs, rendering and EWI, block paving, resin driveways, patios, fencing, jet washing, kitchens, bathrooms, painting and decorating: all quoted free, priced fixed, and guaranteed for 10 years.
- Where we work from
- Crumlin Drive, St Mellons, Cardiff. Vale of Glamorgan is part of our regular working area, alongside Penarth, Cardiff, St Mellons.
- Coastal housing at Barry and Rhoose
- Exposed elevations, salt air and wind. Fixings, flashings, render and fence posts all age faster here than a few miles inland.
- Village and stone-built property
- Around Cowbridge, Llanblethian and the smaller villages, older stone and rendered walls with slate roofs need sympathetic materials and detailing.
- Suburban Dinas Powys, Sully and Wenvoe
- Interwar and post-war housing where rooflines, tiled roofs, driveways and patios make up most of the work.
- Larger plots and long driveways
- The Vale has a lot of generous frontages, which makes resin-bound and block paved driveways a substantial but high-impact job.
What We Get Called Out For Most in Vale of Glamorgan
Weather-beaten render
Coastal render cracks, blows and stains far sooner. Repair and recoating are among our most requested Vale jobs.
Wind-damaged roofs and ridges
Open aspects mean lifted ridges, slipped slates and damaged verges after every serious blow.
Fencing that keeps failing
Standard panels do not last in wind. Post depth, fixings and panel choice make the difference between one winter and ten.
Driveways and patios on larger frontages
Resin, block paving and slabbed patios, plus jet washing to bring existing surfaces back before deciding whether to replace them.

No inflated claims, just what we can actually stand behind.
We build for coastal conditions
Exposure is the first thing we assess on a Vale property, because the specification that survives Barry seafront is not the one you would use on a sheltered Cardiff terrace.
Comfortable with older buildings
Over 15 years of trade experience covering slate, stone, render and traditional detailing as well as modern construction.
One team for the whole property
Roof, render, drive, patio, fencing and interior finishing handled together, with a single fixed price.
Free quotes across the Vale
We come out, inspect, and leave you a written price at no cost and with no obligation.
Guaranteed and insured
10-year workmanship guarantee, public and employer's liability insurance, and 24/7 emergency roof cover.
The Problems Vale of Glamorgan Properties Actually Have
Building age, ground conditions and how exposed a property is all change what fails first, and what the right fix is.
Salt-laden coastal air
Salt accelerates corrosion on fixings, nails and metalwork. On exposed Vale roofs this is a real cause of failure, not a theoretical one.
Sustained wind exposure
With little shelter, the wind works constantly at ridges, verges, flashings and fence lines rather than hitting them in single storms.
Older stone walls and damp
Inland village property often has solid stone walls. The wrong render traps moisture in the wall instead of letting it dry, specification matters here.
Long exposed boundaries
Big plots mean long runs of fence taking full wind load. Cutting corners on posts and concrete is why so many fences need doing twice.
Driveway drainage on sloping ground
Plenty of Vale plots slope. Without planned falls and drainage, a new drive channels water straight at the house.

Vale of Glamorgan, Your Questions Answered
Which Vale of Glamorgan towns do you cover?
Barry, Dinas Powys, Sully, Wenvoe, Rhoose, Llantwit Major, Cowbridge and the surrounding villages.
Do you actually cover the Vale of Glamorgan?
Yes. the Vale of Glamorgan 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 the Vale of Glamorgan is a normal short trip rather than a long-distance job we reluctantly take on.
Is the quote free in the Vale of Glamorgan?
Yes. Quotes and site visits in the Vale of Glamorgan 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 the Vale of Glamorgan?
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 the Vale of Glamorgan 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 the Vale of Glamorgan guaranteed?
Every job carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee: roofing, rendering and driveways alike. That guarantee is the same in the Vale of Glamorgan 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 the Vale of Glamorgan?
Yes. Waste goes with us, the working area is cleared, and we walk the finished job with you before we leave.
Do you use different materials on coastal properties?
We specify with exposure in mind: fixings, flashing details, render systems and fence post depth all get chosen for the position of the property rather than by default.
Can you work on older stone or slate properties?
Yes. Slate roofing and traditional render work on older Vale property is regular work for us, and we will tell you when a repair is the right answer rather than a full replacement.
