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.
The record shows a Shropshire groundworks and civil engineering firm covering housing developments, roads, sewers, drainage and solar-farm work, describing itself as nationally active. The patch runs across Shropshire from the Telford base, with current and completed projects on show. That scale suits developers and larger plots rather than single drives, in our view.
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.
Across the held sources, customers are lukewarm: a middling Google headline across a readable set of ratings. The website carries the project pages and gallery instead, which show the scale of the work. Public approval at that level is what would lift this profile, in our view.
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. Set the gallery against the headline before deciding anything.
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. Itemised fixed quotes are the only basis worth comparing.
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. Rural lanes and new estates both sit inside a normal patch.
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. Compare its quote against a civil rival on the same scope.
What do customers say about Butler Groundworks?
Lukewarm: a middling Google headline across thirteen ratings, weaker than most of the table. Read the individual reviews, then set them against the project pages, which show work at a scale nobody else here attempts. The gap between the gallery and the headline is the honest picture. Ask for recent housing clients you can ring.
How do I get a quote from Butler Groundworks?
Call, email or use the contact page, describing the plot or scheme in full. Send drawings or a full scope so the quote reflects the whole job. Ask for a written quote covering labour, materials and plant, confirm what the price covers, and ask who would manage the site day to day.
How does Butler Groundworks compare with the others in the round?
It sits tenth, with scale and project evidence as its strengths against the weakest review headline among the ranked firms. The rating keeps it at the foot of the table. Read the full review, then compare its quote against a higher-reviewed civil rival. Ask who would manage the site day to day.
