Can you advise without doing the work?
Yes. Plenty of Tredegar visits end with advice and no invoice for work that is not needed yet.
Do you deal with the paperwork for the council?
Where notification is required, it is submitted to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council as part of the job.
What if you find something unrelated?
It gets reported, not quietly fixed. You decide whether it is dealt with now or later.
Is this notifiable work?
It depends on the scope. Where it is, the notification goes through Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council and you receive the certificate that comes with it.
Do you cover Tredegar for grants & funding?
Yes — Tredegar and the surrounding NP22 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Ebbw Vale and Merthyr Tydfil, and Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it. It affects timing more than cost.
