Shropshire Pest Control

Ranked 1 of 10 in Pest controllers in Telford

Unknown

Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

Our verdict

Our judgement: this firm suits you if you want Shropshire-wide cover with a stated free call-out and an emergency one-hour aim. The insurance wording gives you something concrete to check. We rate the stated insurance a strength because few firms in this round publish any. Before booking, confirm the firm is still at the advertised numbers and get the price in writing.
