Tafs Garden Co review

Assessed in Decking installers in Telford

Dissolved

Trading as TAFS GARDEN CO. - TELFORD LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

Tafs Garden Co in short

Tafs Garden Co is a long-running Donnington yard stocking decking and sleepers beside fencing, sheds and paving, stating service from design and manufacture through delivery to installation. Delivery runs on its own fleet of red vehicles, and the site sits open seven days a week. The firm reports thirty-six years of trading from its Telford site.

Customer reviews are the largest single set in the round, with 4.3 on Google from 157 ratings. Our verdict: Tafs suits you if you want to choose boards at a yard that also fits them. That supply-and-fit combination is unique in this round.

What counts against it: the original limited company was dissolved in April 2024, and no insurance details are published. In our view the dissolved company matters more than the missing prices, since no limited company now stands behind the yard.

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.

  • A price-match promise covers like-for-like products, and the firm reports 36 years of trading from its Telford site [1].

Limitations

  • Companies House shows TAFS GARDEN CO. - TELFORD LTD as dissolved in April 2024, so the limited company no longer stands behind the yard [2].

Questions about Tafs Garden Co

Is Tafs Garden Co any good?

On the evidence, yes for choosing boards and having them fitted in one place: Tafs runs a long-standing Donnington yard with delivery on its own vehicles and the round's largest Google review set. The original company is dissolved and paperwork is unpublished, so weigh both. Visit the yard to test the service.

Is Tafs Garden Co a member of a trade scheme?

Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. The yard's record rests on trading history and reviews rather than any scheme. Ask what insurance sits behind installation work, and get the answer in writing.

How much does Tafs Garden Co charge?

It publishes a price-match promise on like-for-like products but no statement on fitting rates, call-out fee or VAT. That means your quote does the talking: take measurements and photos to the yard. Ask for supply and fitting priced separately in writing.

Where does Tafs Garden Co work?

The yard sits on St Georges Road in Donnington, open seven days a week, serving Telford and Shropshire with delivery on its own fleet. Boards, fencing, sheds and paving are stocked on site with installation offered. Call with your postcode to confirm delivery and fitting cover.

How is Tafs Garden Co ranked?

It was assessed in our September round but sits outside the top-ten table, carried down by the dissolved company and unpublished paperwork. The huge Google set is its counterweight. Read the full review, then visit the yard with your measurements.
