Best overall carpenters and joiner in Telford: retrofit and multi-trade projects under one roof

Trading as Rubik Builders Limited · Telford · Service area: Telford, Wolverhampton, Walsall
Rubik Builders in short
Rubik Builders is a Hadley-based construction firm covering retrofit insulation, electrical, gas and building work, so carpentry and joinery arrive as part of a managed multi-trade project rather than a lone visit. Federation of Master Builders and TrustMark registration is listed on the registers, with further trade memberships stated on its own site, and insurance is stated in full with a named insurer. The contact page gives a phone number, email and unit address, with company and VAT numbers in the footer, and the stated patch runs from Telford to Wolverhampton and Walsall.
Our judgement is that the firm's edge is breadth and paperwork rather than review volume. A contractor set up to run several trades at once suits whole-house work that a single workshop cannot own.
Customer reviews give the firm 4.3 out of 5 on Google across eighteen published ratings, a middling score that trails the specialists below it on customer evidence alone. Fewer ratings with a lower score than the specialists below makes this the thinnest customer file near the top of the table.
What counts against Rubik Builders, in our view, is exactly that trade-off: no prices of any kind are published, and a small joinery-only job may sit uneasily with a contractor built for whole-house work. For a retrofit or an extension with joinery inside it, this is our pick of the table.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Rubik Builders suits you if your joinery sits inside a bigger retrofit or multi-trade project, with PAS 2035 standards and registered trade cover behind the firm [1] [4]. Insurance is stated in full with a named insurer [1]. What counts against it is the absence of any published prices.

Questions about Rubik Builders
Is Rubik Builders any good?
On the evidence, yes for bigger briefs: it tops our Telford carpenters and joiners table, holds Federation of Master Builders and TrustMark registration on the registers, and states its insurance in full. Its Google score trails the specialists, so read the customer reviews alongside the paperwork. Send your drawings for an itemised fixed quote.
Is Rubik Builders FMB registered?
Federation of Master Builders and TrustMark registration is listed on the registers, with NICEIC, Gas Safe and MCS membership stated on the firm's own site. Ask for the membership numbers and confirm each on the register yourself. Get the numbers in writing alongside your quote. The site also names the insurer behind its stated cover.
What does Rubik Builders charge?
It publishes no prices, rates or call-out fees, so your quote does all the talking. Send the full scope, including drawings where you have them, and ask for labour, materials and VAT separated. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Fixed quotes follow the full scope, so detailed drawings earn the firmest numbers.
Where does Rubik Builders work?
The firm works from Hortonwood in Hadley across Telford, with Wolverhampton and Walsall inside its stated patch. Larger retrofit projects may travel further than everyday joinery jobs. Send your postcode with the job list to confirm you are covered. Expect the office to confirm coverage before quoting. Postcodes from Telford to Wolverhampton and Walsall sit inside the stated patch.

What do customers say about Rubik Builders?
Google reviews give a middling verdict across a small set of published ratings, trailing the specialists elsewhere in this table. Our judgement is that breadth and paperwork carry this profile further than customer volume does. Read the reviews yourself alongside the accreditations, then judge the whole file before you enquire. The firm's own registers and stated cover tell the stronger half of the story.
How do I get a quote from Rubik Builders?
Send the full scope with drawings where you have them, through the phone, email or contact route on the firm's site. Ask for labour, materials and VAT separated in an itemised fixed quote, since no prices are published. Larger retrofit briefs travel further than small joinery jobs, so include your postcode. Coverage is confirmed before quoting, so lead with it.
How does Rubik Builders compare with the others in the round?
It tops our September table as the best overall pick for retrofit and multi-trade projects one contractor can own end to end. Property Fix below it suits mixed everyday job lists, while the workshops further down suit single-craft commissions. Choose by brief size: whole-house work points here, single pieces point down the table.
