We get regular calls about emergency roof repairs from Ebbw Vale and the surrounding area, which covers a former steelworking town transformed by the Festival Park development, with terraced housing typical of the Ebbw Valley. A leaking or storm-damaged roof needs attention quickly. What begins as a small leak can soon lead to damaged ceilings, insulation, plasterwork, timber and electrical systems if rainwater continues entering the property.
What to Do First
A leaking or storm-damaged roof needs attention quickly. What begins as a small leak can soon lead to damaged ceilings, insulation, plasterwork, timber and electrical systems if rainwater continues entering the property.
Whether you've discovered water coming through the ceiling, lost tiles during strong winds or noticed sudden damage around your chimney or flat roof, contact us for advice and a fast response.
Finding the Source of a Roof Leak
Water appearing on a ceiling doesn't necessarily mean the leak is directly above it. Rainwater can enter through damaged tiles or flashing and travel along roofing timbers before becoming visible elsewhere. We inspect the affected roof to identify the likely source rather than simply repairing the first obvious defect. Where possible, we'll carry out a permanent repair. If weather conditions or the extent of damage make this impossible immediately, temporary weatherproofing may be used to protect the property.
In Ebbw Vale specifically, it's worth factoring in the age and construction of your property — older buildings tend to need closer attention around original roof junctions and detailing than newer, tightly-built homes.
