McPhillips Wellington Ltd in short
McPhillips Wellington is a Telford civil engineering and building contractor working from Hortonwood on housing, infrastructure and civil engineering schemes. Its engineering page lists groundworks, drainage, sewers, earthworks and land remediation, which maps directly onto this round.
The company record is the longest here, with the limited company active since nineteen sixty-four. Quality, considerate-building and safety-assessment marks are named on its certifications page. Customer evidence is thinner, above four stars from a modest Google set. Our review finds a programme-scale contractor.
What counts against it is a domestic gap: no pricing and no insurance details are published, and the customer score trails the smaller firms. Our judgement: the history and the engineering spread carry McPhillips Wellington for larger briefs, not for a single driveway.
Our verdict
Our judgement: McPhillips suits you if your brief runs to civil engineering scale, with groundworks and drainage inside a 1964-vintage company record [1] [3]. The Google score is modest at 4.3 from 28 reviews [4]. No prices or insurance details are published, which counts against it for smaller jobs [1].

Questions about McPhillips Wellington Ltd
Is McPhillips any good?
On the evidence, it is a different shape from the rest of this round: a civil engineering contractor trading since nineteen sixty-four, with groundworks, drainage, sewers and earthworks on its services page but a thinner customer record. Read it as a commercial-scale pick, then use the contact form.
Is McPhillips on a trade register?
Quality, considerate-building and safety-assessment marks are named on the firm's own certifications page. Those are the firm's own statements rather than register checks. Ask for the current certificate details and their renewal dates when you enquire, and check who the certificates name.
How much does McPhillips charge?
No pricing information of any kind is published. The site runs news, project and contact pages instead of rates. Send the full scope with drawings or photos through the contact form, and agree the price and payment stages before anything is booked.
Where does McPhillips work?
The firm works from Hortonwood in Telford on housing, infrastructure, building and civil engineering schemes. Groundworks, drainage, sewers, earthworks and land remediation sit inside its civil engineering list. Send your location with the scope to confirm fit, and ask for a recent project of a similar size.
How is McPhillips ranked?
It ranks ninth of the ten in our September round, the programme-scale pick for briefs a civil contractor should own. History plus engineering spread put it there despite the thinner record. Read the full review, then use the contact form.
