Rubik Builders in short
Rubik Builders is a Hortonwood building firm pairing extensions and renovations with retrofit insulation, heat pumps and solar work. Our judgement: with Federation and TrustMark listings on the register and the round's fullest stated insurance cover, it is one of the best-documented firms here. It suits you if energy-efficiency work sits alongside general building. The record shows extensions and renovations paired with retrofit insulation, heat pumps and solar from the Hortonwood base, with garage conversions and garden rooms also on its trade listings. Cover runs across Telford, Wolverhampton and Walsall, and the site publishes company and VAT numbers beside its accreditations.
Customer reviews are its softest spot: 4.3 from 18 Google reviews, the lowest headline rating in the top three. NICEIC, Gas Safe and MCS credentials are stated on the firm's own pages rather than the registers. Seven years on the company record and a published VAT number add to the paperwork.
Customer evidence is the thinner half of the file: the headline is 4.3 from 18 Google reviews, the softest score in the top three, with no second review platform held. In our view the stated insurance and register listings are the stronger half here, which is the reverse of most rivals.
What counts against Rubik Builders is pricing: no prices or call-out fees are published anywhere on the site. Itemised written figures and the scheme details are what is missing.
Our verdict
Our judgement: the confirmed Federation and TrustMark listings plus stated insurance cover make this one of the best-documented firms in the round [1][3][4]. It suits you if you want energy-efficiency work alongside general building.

Is Rubik Builders registered with a trade scheme?

How is Rubik Builders ranked?
It ranks second of the ten builders in our September round, chosen for retrofit insulation, heat pumps and renovations with documented cover. We looked first at what customers say, then qualifications and the rest. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised quote. Then weigh the strengths above against the limitations beside them.
How does Rubik Builders compare with the other builders in this round?
It is the best-documented firm below the leader and the only one pairing general building with retrofit energy work at this level of stated cover. Randle below it offers a similar building-plus-energy mix with warmer reviews but thinner insurance statements. Where insulation, heat pumps or solar sit inside the job, Rubik Builders reads strongest; for pure roofing or garden work, other cards suit better.
