Trading as Total Construction & Scaffolding Ltd · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire, Staffordshire
Total Construction & Scaffolding Ltd in short
Total Construction and Scaffolding Ltd is a Trench Lock contractor pairing scaffolding with housing, commercial, civil engineering and maintenance work, behind a limited company active since March 2019 [1] [2]. Its site shows CISRS and SMAS Worksafe marks and describes City and Guilds qualified site staff [1]. Our verdict is that this is the pick where one contractor must span building and access together.
Customer reviews are the weakest among the established firms, with Google reviews giving Total Construction and Scaffolding 3.7 across three ratings [3]. Coverage stretches across the Midlands with the North West and North Wales named too [1]. What counts against it is that thin review signal and a site saying nothing about insurance or pricing [1] [3].
Our verdict
Our judgement: TCSL suits you if you want one contractor spanning construction and scaffolding across the Midlands, North West and North Wales [1]. What counts against it is the thinnest review signal in this set and a site that says nothing about insurance or pricing [1] [3]. The scaffolding offer sits inside a wider construction pitch.
