Strengths

  • You see 4.8 from 34 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, a healthy volume for a family-run firm [2].

  • The site states technicians trained to RSPH Level 2 by the BPCA and close work with Telford and Wrekin Environmental Health [1].

  • The firm offers a 24-hour same-day response and will match any like-for-like written quote [1].

Limitations

  • No insurance details are published, so that area is scored as insufficient evidence rather than as a failing [1].

  • A nearly identical company name on Companies House is dissolved, so confirm who holds your contract before you book [3].
