Butler Groundworks Ltd review
Ranked 10 of 10 in Groundworkers in Telford
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]. What counts against it is the absence of insurance, pricing and named accreditations on the site. Its Google rating sits at 4 out of 5 [5].

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.
