Best overall grab hire company in Telford: grab hire and aggregates from a Ketley yard

Active

Trading as DRM AGGREGATE SOLUTIONS LTD · Whitchurch Drive, Ketley, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 5BY · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury

DRM Aggregate Solutions in short

DRM Aggregate Solutions is a Ketley firm offering grab lorry hire, muck away and aggregate supply from its Whitchurch Drive yard. Its grab page sets out hydraulic-arm loading for site waste, aimed at local authorities, contractors, schools and the public [2]. A live limited company sits behind the name [4], and upper-tier waste registration is on the public register [5].

The record shows grab hire and muck away alongside sands, gravels, MOT, topsoil and haulage, with a priced product list for the materials [1] [2]. The firm names Telford, Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas for grab work. A quote form, two phone numbers and email addresses give several ways to reach the yard, which keeps Monday to Friday hours [1] [2].

Customer evidence is the fullest in this round: Google shows 4.9 from 53 reviews on the evidence held [3]. That breadth still reflects past jobs, mostly materials supply and removals, rather than a promise about yours. The quote form asks for material, postcode and date, which is the right detail for a like-for-like price [2].

What counts against it: grab-hire rates and the VAT position are unpublished, so the written quote carries the whole price [2], and the firm's own insurance details appear nowhere on the pages checked [1]. Our judgement: it suits a combined clearance-and-materials job from one yard. Published grab rates and insurance details are the gaps.

Strengths

  • You get grab lorry hire with hydraulic-arm loading for site waste alongside muck away and aggregate supply, with Telford, Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas named on the grab page seen 5 September 2026 [2].

  • The company record is checkable: DRM AGGREGATE SOLUTIONS LTD has been active since 14 February 2019 with waste management as its stated trade [4].

  • Waste registration CBDU285243 lists the firm as an upper-tier carrier, broker and dealer on the Environment Agency register [5].

Limitations

  • No grab-hire rates or VAT position are published; the priced list covers aggregates only, so grab work is quoted per job [1] [2].

  • No insurance details are published on the pages checked, which stays as insufficient evidence rather than a failing [1].

Questions about DRM Aggregate Solutions

Is DRM Aggregate Solutions any good?

On the evidence, yes for combined jobs: it pairs grab lorry hire and muck away with aggregate supply from its Ketley yard, and its company record and upper-tier waste registration check out [4] [5]. The Google record reads 4.9 from 53 reviews [3]. Send your pile details through the grab quote form for a price [2].

Is DRM Aggregate Solutions a registered waste carrier?

Yes. It holds upper-tier carrier, broker and dealer registration CBDU285243 on the Environment Agency public register [5]. That entry covers firms carrying other people's waste, which is exactly what a grab lorry does with your heap. You can search the number on the public register and check the entry matches the business.

How much does DRM Aggregate Solutions charge?

The site publishes prices across its aggregate range, such as loose and bagged sand, gravel, MOT and topsoil [1], but grab hire itself runs through a quote form with no grab rates or VAT position shown [2]. Send the material, the pile size and your postcode, and compare the written quote against one more registered carrier.

Where does DRM Aggregate Solutions work?

From its Whitchurch Drive yard in Ketley it names Telford, Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas for grab hire [2]. The yard keeps Monday to Friday hours [1], so plan a weekday visit if you want to see the materials first. Grab work needs lorry access, so send your postcode with photos of the pile and the approach. Ask for the collection window alongside the quote.

How do I get a quote from DRM Aggregate Solutions?

Use the grab quote form on its website or ring the Telford number — phone numbers and email addresses are published on the homepage [1] [2]. Attach photos of the heap, what it is made of and how a lorry reaches it, and ask for the load size, VAT position and collection window in the reply.

What do the reviews say about DRM Aggregate Solutions?

Google shows 4.9 from 53 reviews on the evidence held [3]. That is a broad base for this round, though reviews still describe individual jobs rather than the full range. It is the fullest customer record in this round, which is part of why the firm leads our table. Read them alongside the registration and company record, and get the grab quote in writing.
