KBS Contractors Ltd in short
KBS Contractors Ltd is a Telford civil engineering and groundworks firm working across Shropshire and Staffordshire, behind an active limited company formed in 2018. The site states ten million pounds of public liability insurance and offers a free quotation, with phone, email, chat and contact form routes. No trade accreditations are named anywhere checked. KBS Contractors Ltd reads as a papered-up outfit for buyers who value stated cover, in our opinion.
Customer reviews are perfect but tiny: five out of five from two Google ratings, which counts for less than the deeper sets above it. That thin evidence base is the main caveat, in our view. What else counts against it is the absence of named accreditations, prices or VAT terms on the site. Our review finds a promising civil pick that needs more public feedback.
Our verdict
Our judgement: KBS suits you if you want a civil groundworks firm in Telford with stated £10 million liability cover and a clear multi-route contact page [2]. What counts against it is the tiny review base of two ratings and the absence of named accreditations or prices. The company record runs back to 2018 [4] [5].

Questions about KBS Contractors Ltd
Is KBS Contractors any good?
Early signs are good for civil groundworks: stated ten-million-pound liability cover, a clear multi-route contact page and a company record back to 2018. The review base is only two ratings, so treat the record as thin rather than proven. Read the full review, then ask for a written quote.
Is KBS Contractors 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, but it leaves commercial buyers with less to check. Ask what safety paperwork it can show and get the answer in writing.
How much does KBS Contractors charge?
It publishes no rates or VAT terms, though quotations are free. Send drawings or photos of the plot and ask for an itemised fixed quote covering labour, materials and plant. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Ask for a named contact.
Where does KBS Contractors work?
The firm works from Telford across Shropshire and Staffordshire, with an areas page naming towns including Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Newport, Ludlow and Market Drayton. Send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered and ask for a named contact.
How is KBS Contractors ranked?
It ranks third of the ten groundworkers in our September round, picked for civil groundworks with liability cover stated. The stated cover lifts it above firms with deeper reviews but thinner paperwork. The tiny review base is the reason to get references. Read the full review, then compare quotes.
