McPhillips Wellington Ltd in short

McPhillips Wellington Ltd is a Hortonwood contractor for housing, infrastructure, building and civil engineering, working with public and private partners. Our judgement: its history and company record are the strongest in this round, but its market is programmes and frameworks, not household jobs. It suits professional procurement, not home extensions. The record shows housing, infrastructure, building and civil engineering from Horton House at Hortonwood, delivered across the Midlands, the North West and Wales for public and private partners. A certifications page lists awards, though no domestic trade accreditations sit beside them.

Customers rate it modestly: 4.3 from 28 Google reviews, a commercial rather than domestic footprint. The public company record shows continuous registration going back decades at the same address given on the site. That longevity is real, and in our view it is wasted on a household shortlist.

Customer evidence fits a commercial contractor: the headline is 4.3 from 28 Google reviews, a modest institutional footprint with no domestic review trail held. The company record going back decades is the stronger document here, and in our view the firm belongs in a tender file, not a household shortlist.

What counts against McPhillips Wellington Ltd for most readers is relevance: a Telford household is unlikely to hire it for an extension or conversion. No trade accreditations, insurance or pricing detail is published either. Whether it takes domestic work at all is the open question.

Our verdict

Our judgement: the history and company record are the strongest in this round, but the firm's market is public and commercial building work, not household jobs [1][3][4]. It suits you if you procure construction professionally.

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Strengths

  • The public company record shows continuous registration since December 1964 at the same Hortonwood address given on the site [3].

  • The site sets out housing, infrastructure, building and civil engineering services with contact routes by phone and email [1][2].

Limitations

  • This is a commercial contractor, so a Telford household is unlikely to hire it for an extension or conversion; check it takes domestic work before spending time [1].

  • No trade accreditations are detailed on the pages seen [1][2]. No insurance or pricing detail is published [1][2].

Questions about McPhillips Wellington Ltd

Is McPhillips Wellington any good?

For commercial programmes, the record impresses: decades on the public register and a full spread of building and civil engineering services. For a home extension, no: its market is public and commercial clients. Read the full page and its sources. Check it takes domestic work first. Match the enquiry to the scale of your project before going further.

Is McPhillips Wellington registered with a trade scheme?

Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the pages seen: no trade accreditations are detailed on the site or the certifications page. No scheme registration is shown against the firm. Ask for whatever scheme paperwork your procurement needs. Get it in writing before going further. Keep any scheme paperwork with the written quote and check the dates match.

What does McPhillips Wellington charge?

It publishes no pricing information of any kind, since it bids for programmes rather than quoting household jobs. Commercial pricing would come through its own tender route. Contact the firm with your project scope. Ask for written commercial terms before anything proceeds. Set the written figure beside one rival quote before deciding.

Where does McPhillips Wellington work?

The contractor works from Hortonwood in Telford and delivers programmes across the Midlands, the North West and Wales for public and private partners. A household job in Telford is outside its usual market. Confirm it takes your kind of work first. Use the phone or email route. Confirm your street sits inside the patch before arranging a visit.

How is McPhillips Wellington ranked?

It ranks ninth of the ten builders in our September round, carried by its unmatched company record rather than domestic fit. We looked first at what customers say, then qualifications and the rest. Read the full review, then shortlist a domestic firm. Then weigh the strengths above against the limitations beside them.

How does McPhillips Wellington compare with the other builders in this round?

It is the outlier of the table: the longest company record paired with the least household relevance. Every other ranked firm sells to residents; McPhillips sells programmes to institutions. Ranked ninth on record strength rather than fit, it is the one card in the table that serves procurement rather than households.
