Butler Groundworks Ltd review

Best for: housing and civil groundworks at scale

Trading as BUTLER GROUNDWORKS LIMITED · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

Butler Groundworks Ltd in short

Butler Groundworks Ltd is a Shropshire groundworks and civil engineering firm covering housing, roads, sewers and drainage, behind an active limited company formed in 2011. The site shows current and completed projects with news and gallery pages, and describes the firm as nationally active. Phone, email and contact routes are all listed. Butler Groundworks Ltd reads as the scale pick in this table, in our opinion.

Customer reviews sit at four out of five from thirteen Google ratings, the second-weakest headline in the ranked table. That middling score against a readable volume is a real caveat, in our view. What else counts against it is the absence of insurance detail, prices or named accreditations. Our review finds a capable-looking civil firm with public approval to earn.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Butler suits you if you want a groundworks firm for a housing or civil job in Shropshire, with a company record going back to 2011 and project pages showing the work [2] [4].

Questions about Butler Groundworks Ltd

Is Butler Groundworks any good?

For housing and civil jobs, possibly: project pages show roads, sewers and drainage work with a company record back to 2011. The Google headline is four out of five from thirteen ratings, weaker than most of the table. Read the full review, then ask for a written quote.

Is Butler Groundworks registered with a trade scheme?

No. Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. That is recorded as a gap, not a failing. Ask what safety paperwork it can show and get the answer in writing. Firms at this scale usually hold current safety certificates, so the absence is worth a direct question.

How much does Butler Groundworks charge?

No prices, rates, free-quote offer or VAT position is published anywhere checked. Use the contact page and ask for a written quote. Send drawings or a full scope of the plot so the quote reflects the whole job. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything.

Where does Butler Groundworks work?

The firm works across Shropshire from its Telford base, covering housing developments, roads, sewers and drainage, with project pages showing past schemes. Send the site postcode with the enquiry to confirm coverage and timescales. Ask who would manage the site day to day.

How is Butler Groundworks ranked?

It ranks tenth of the ten groundworkers in our September round, picked for housing and civil groundworks at scale. The review headline keeps it at the foot of the table. Scale and project evidence are its strengths against that headline. Read the full review, then compare quotes.
