Wenlock Painting & Decorating

Ranked 8 of 11 in Painters and decorators in Telford

Sole Trader

Shifnal · Service area: Shifnal, Telford

Our verdict

Our judgement: Wenlock suits you if you want a small Shifnal operator for touch-up scale exterior work and you are happy to do checks by phone [1][3]. The public record beyond reviews is thin, which is common for sole traders but leaves you more to verify. Before booking, ask to see public liability insurance and a written quote.

Ratings on other sites

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

Strengths

  • You get a clean 5.0 from 15 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026 [1].

  • The Facebook page shows current hands-on work on sills, lintels and a door frame [3].

Limitations

  • There is no website, so services, insurance, pricing and trading history are all unpublished — each scored as insufficient evidence.

  • The phone number appears only in the Places record, so confirm it when you call.
