Best for: small domestic brickwork jobs in Telford

Unknown

Telford · Service area: Telford

Darren's Building Services in short

Darren's Building Services is a Telford bricklayer for small domestic jobs, listed at a Gibbons Road address with a direct phone number on the public record, behind reviews dating from 2018 and 2019. There is no website and no published detail beyond the listings. That makes it an approach-direct outfit to judge by phone rather than a firm to research online.

Its Google reviews all give 5.0 from a set of three. Our judgement: Darren's Building Services suits a small job where you are comfortable relying on a dated but positive review record from several years back, with the gaps sitting in insurance, history, qualifications and pricing. The directory page records the reviews with names and dates. Recent customer evidence is the missing piece.

Strengths

  • All three Google reviews give 5 out of 5, recorded with names and dates on the directory page seen 4 September 2026 [1].

  • The phone number and Gibbons Road address sit on the public record, giving you a direct contact route [1].

Limitations

  • The reviews date from 2018 to 2019, so nothing recent sits behind the 5.0 rating [1].

  • No website, insurance details, trading history, qualifications or prices are published [1].
