Shropshire Koi Ltd review
Ranked 1 of 3 in Pond installers in Telford
Best overall pond installer in Telford: Specialist koi, pond kit and home-visit health checks
Dissolved
Trading as SHROPSHIRE KOI LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford
Shropshire Koi Ltd in short
Shropshire Koi Ltd is a Telford koi and pond-kit specialist trading from Hillside Road, selling Japanese koi alongside pond equipment, food and treatments. What sets it apart in this round is the call-out side of the business: home visits with microscope scrapes for sick fish, aimed at keepers facing a pond problem they cannot diagnose. Booking runs through phone, email and the website contact form, with no opening hours published. The Hillside Road address puts the shop within easy reach of keepers across the town.
The record shows koi sales, dry goods and rehoming help from a single Telford base, with no branches or wider service area on the books. Customer evidence is short but spotless: this review counts two Google reviews behind the firm, each giving the top rating. For a young business that reads as a promising start rather than a proven record, so the praise counts as a start rather than proof. Rehoming help rounds out the offer for keepers with fish to move on.
Our judgement is that the firm suits a koi keeper who wants stock and health checks from a local specialist. Against it, the limited company behind the site is shown as dissolved on the public record, and the site states no prices, insurance details or industry qualifications. Shropshire Koi Ltd therefore takes first place on the strength of its offer, with the thinnest paperwork of the three. The company record is the part of the page that needs the closest look.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Shropshire Koi suits you if you want koi and pond supplies with home-visit health checks from a Telford-based specialist [1]. Against that, the limited company behind the site is shown as dissolved on the public record, only two Google reviews exist, and prices and insurance are not stated [1] [2] [3].

Questions about Shropshire Koi Ltd
Is Shropshire Koi Ltd any good?
On the evidence, yes for koi keepers: it tops our Telford pond installer table with Japanese koi, pond kit and home-visit health checks for sick fish. The customer record is short at two top-rating Google reviews, so read them alongside the company detail [3]. Send your pond problem through the phone, email or contact form [1].
Is Shropshire Koi Ltd on a trade register?
No industry qualification can be sourced for the firm from the registers, its website or the platforms checked [1]. That wording reflects the public record rather than a failing grade. Ask the firm directly what training sits behind its health checks and microscope work. Get the answer in writing with your quote.
What does Shropshire Koi Ltd charge?
It publishes no prices, rates, call-out fee or VAT position [1]. That means your enquiry does the talking: describe the fish, the pond and the symptoms, and ask for the full price before agreeing a visit. Confirm what the visit covers, what any follow-up costs, and whether distance changes the price.
Where does Shropshire Koi Ltd work?
The firm trades from Primrose Villa on Hillside Road in Telford, and its home visits serve keepers around the town [1]. No wider service area is stated on the site. Send your postcode with the first message to confirm you are covered. Call ahead since no opening hours are published.
How do I get a quote from Shropshire Koi Ltd?
Phone the listed mobile, email the sales address, or use the website contact form [1]. Describe the pond size, the stock and what has changed, and attach a photo of any sick fish. Mention when the trouble started and what you have tried, then ask for the visit price and timescale.
What do the reviews of Shropshire Koi Ltd say?
Both Google reviews give the top rating, seen in early September [3]. That is a clean sheet rather than a deep record, so read the two reviews in full before weighing them. Check the review dates yourself, then leave your own review after a visit to help the next keeper.
How is Shropshire Koi Ltd ranked?
It ranks first of the three pond installers in our September round, chosen for its koi range with home-visit health checks from a Telford base. No other firm in the table combines livestock sales with call-out diagnostics. The table below shows how each rival scored. Read the full review, then ask for the visit price in writing.
