Our verdict

Our judgement: this is the established, high-feedback option in this round, suited to you if you want servicing or ongoing cover from a long-trading local firm. We rate its customer evidence and trading history as strengths because both are dated and checkable [2][5]. Before you book, agree the price in writing and ask to see the attending engineer's Gas Safe ID card on arrival.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • Customer evidence is unusually deep, with 742 Google reviews at 4.9 seen on 3 September 2026 [5]. That volume means you can read about recent boiler and cover-plan jobs before you call.

  • The company record is long and stable: SHROPSHIRE GAS LTD has been active at Companies House since 4 July 2011, and its registered address matches the Wellington address on its website [2][3]. The site describes cover for more than 6,000 Shropshire properties and over 40 years of experience [1].

Limitations

  • No insurance details are published, which we score as insufficient evidence rather than a failing [1].
