Trading as TIMPSON LIMITED · Telford · Service area: Telford

Our verdict

Our judgement: include this branch for completeness, but the evidence favours Telford independents on ratings, pricing detail and local information. Before booking, ask for the attendance fee and hourly rate in writing, since the branch page itself states neither [1].

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • You get national-company backing: TIMPSON LIMITED is active since 1960, and the company site describes DBS-checked locksmiths with 24-hour service [1][2].

  • The branch is findable and contactable through the national locator, which suits you if you prefer a company structure behind the visit [1].

Limitations

  • The branch page carries almost no Telford-specific information: no services list, prices or local contact beyond the national routes [1].

  • At 3.8 from 22 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, the branch rating sits well below every independent in this round [3].
