Seafront scaffolding and Esplanade frontages may need highway permission from Bridgend CBC — coastal exposure also means marine-grade materials matter. Prefer TrustMark / FMB members; get at least two written quotes; never pay 100% upfront.

If work goes wrong with a non-member, call Citizens Advice 0808 223 1133 (Welsh 0808 223 1144).
