Trading as N B Independent Scaffold Services Ltd · Telford · Service area: Telford

N B Independent Scaffold Services Ltd in short

N B Independent Scaffold Services Ltd is a family-run Telford scaffolding firm covering domestic, commercial and industrial jobs, behind a limited company active since December 2017 [2]. Its site describes two decades in the trade and states CISRS certification with CITB backing, CSCS cards for staff and full insurance cover [1]. Our verdict is that this is the most complete package in the Telford set, which is why it leads our ranking.

Customer reviews back that judgement: Google reviews give N B Independent Scaffold Services 4.9, the highest mark in this Telford set [3]. The site adds practical touches with a free written quote, a same-day site visit offer and a round-the-clock phone line [1]. What counts against it is thin pricing detail beyond the free quote, with no rates or VAT position published [1].

Our verdict

Our judgement: this has the highest review score in the scaffolding set on the public record, pairing the highest review score with a live company record and stated £10 million cover [2] [3]. It suits you if you want an established Telford firm for a standard erection. What counts against it is thin pricing detail beyond the free quote [1].
