Ranked 6 of 11 in Fencing contractors in Telford

Dissolved

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

Our verdict

Our judgement: Tafs suits you if you want materials and fitting from one long-standing Donnington yard with a deep review record. The dissolved-company wrinkle needs care rather than alarm. Before booking, confirm in writing which business takes your deposit and whether your price covers installation [1][2][3].

Strengths

  • You can order panels and have them delivered and installed by the same yard: the site states service from design and manufacture to delivery and installation [1].

  • Its 157 Google reviews give you the deepest pool of customer evidence in this round, at 4.3, seen 3 September 2026 [3].

  • The business claims 36 years trading from its purpose-built Telford site, which speaks to continuity if you want an established supplier [1].

Limitations

  • The matched limited company was dissolved in April 2024 while the yard keeps trading, so check which business contracts your job — scored on documented history and flagged for the editor [1][2].

  • No insurance details are published, scored as insufficient evidence rather than a failing, and pricing stops at a price-match promise with no quote terms [1].
