CDM Builders in short

CDM Builders is an Ironbridge building firm covering extensions, garage and loft conversions, renovations and garden building from one brief across Shropshire, with long experience stated on its about page. Contact is straightforward by phone, email or form. The website describes past work in detail, which helps you see the standard before you enquire. That one-firm spread across brickwork and general building is what sets the firm apart for Shropshire home projects.

Its public customer record is a lone Google review giving 5.0. Our judgement: CDM Builders suits an extension, conversion or renovation where you want one local firm to own the whole job, with the gaps sitting in published insurance, qualifications and pricing. Nothing on cover, schemes or rates is published.

Our verdict

Our judgement: CDM Builders suits you if you want an experienced Ironbridge firm for an extension, conversion or renovation spanning brickwork and plastering, with clear contact routes and stated decades in the trade [2]. The gaps sit in proof, with a single Google review and nothing published on insurance or pricing [3]. It reads as a small local builder for Shropshire home projects.

Questions about CDM Builders

Is CDM Builders any good?

On the evidence, yes for extensions and renovations: it sits second in our Telford bricklayers table, states long experience and gives clear contact routes by phone, email and form. The public customer record is a lone review, so read the full page and its sources. Describe your project through the contact form for a reply.

Is CDM Builders registered with a trade scheme?

Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked, so there is nothing to verify. No mandatory registration applies to bricklayers in any case. Ask for insurance details and a recent local reference instead. Get both in writing before work starts.

How much does CDM Builders charge?

It publishes no rates, price list, free-quote statement or VAT position, so the quote does the talking. Send the drawings or a clear written scope and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Treat an outlier against other quotes as a question. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything.

The firm works from Ironbridge across Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury, Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Shifnal and Church Stretton.
