KRM Contractors in short
KRM Contractors is a Telford building and painting firm covering everything from emergency repairs to new construction for homes and businesses, with a portfolio of past jobs on its site. Painting sits at the centre of the offer rather than at its edge: the record also names painting and decorating as a second trade, and the portfolio shows residential and commercial jobs side by side.
The limited company has been active since nineteen ninety-six, the longest company record in this round. The site describes health-and-safety training with CDM compliance and offers a free quote. The site carries the free-quote route and the listing carries a phone contact, so getting in touch is straightforward.
The customer record is the round's weakest headline: three point nine stars on Google from ten ratings, the only review source on record. That sits well below every ranked rival. With a single source behind the headline, there is no second record to set beside it. KRM Contractors works across Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire from its Hortonwood base.
Our view: this firm was researched but sits outside the ranked ten, held back by that customer score and gaps on insurance, pricing and qualifications. What counts in its favour is the very long company record and the published portfolio. Both the reviews and the portfolio are on the public record. Its shape suits painting-led building work appraised on the portfolio rather than the headline.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this firm suits you if you want a very long-established Telford contractor for building and painting work [1] [3]. What counts against it is a 3.9 Google rating and the absence of published insurance, pricing or sourced qualifications [4] [1].

Questions about KRM Contractors
Is KRM Contractors any good?
The record is mixed: a very long-established Telford contractor with a published portfolio, but the round's weakest Google headline score from a small base. It suits building and painting work you will judge on the portfolio and a free quote. Read the full page and its sources, then set the reviews beside the portfolio.
Is KRM Contractors a member of a trade scheme?
No trade-scheme membership could be sourced from the registers, the firm's website or the platforms checked. That is recorded as insufficient evidence rather than a failing. Ask the firm directly which trade bodies it belongs to, when each membership renews, and get the answer in writing. The firm's closest published standing is health-and-safety training with CDM compliance on its own site.
How do I get a quote from KRM Contractors?
Through the free-quote route on its site, with the full job description to hand. No rates, fees or VAT position are published, so the written reply does the talking. Send photos of the rooms or elevations with your postcode, and ask for an itemised fixed price split into labour and materials. Keep that reply beside the portfolio before you decide.
What do customers say about KRM Contractors?
Less than the round's ranked firms: three point nine stars on Google from ten ratings, the weakest headline in the round. Google is the only review source on record, so read the individual reviews rather than the average alone. Set what you read beside the portfolio of past jobs on the firm's site. The reviews and the portfolio are both on the public record.
Why does KRM Contractors sit outside the ranked table?
It sits outside our ranked ten because its customer headline is the round's weakest and its paperwork shows gaps on insurance, pricing and qualifications. That is the whole of it: a very long company record and a published portfolio on one side, the headline and the gaps on the other. If you run the firm, send updated detail through the claim-a-listing box for the next round.
How does KRM Contractors compare with the ranked firms in this round?
No ranked rival matches its company record for length, which runs back to nineteen ninety-six. But every ranked firm carries a stronger customer headline, and the table leader pairs scheme membership with cover stated in figures, neither of which appears here. Judge it as a painting-led contractor on its portfolio, not as an extension specialist.
What does KRM Contractors charge?
A free quote is offered through the site, but no rates, fees or VAT position are published. Send the full job description and ask for an itemised fixed price, broken into labour and materials. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Photos of the rooms or elevations help the firm price accurately, so attach them with your postcode.
Where does KRM Contractors work?
The firm works from Hortonwood across Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire, including Telford, on building and painting jobs for homes and businesses. A free-quote route is published. Send your postcode with the job details to confirm cover, with photos of the rooms or elevations attached. Its company record shows the Hortonwood address in Telford, with the wider three-county patch stated on its site.
