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. 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 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. 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.

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 weigh the reviews against 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.

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.

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.
