Sole Trader

Our verdict

Our verdict: Hornet suits you if you want a long-running Telford firm for installations, repairs or round-the-clock emergency call-outs [1] [3]. We rate the trading history and the clear service list as strengths because both are dated. Before booking, ask for insurance details and an itemised written quote with the guarantee terms.
