Freyssinet Limited in short
Freyssinet Limited is a specialist structural and civil engineering contractor run from its Telford head office at St James House, covering structural repair, post-tensioning, bearings, expansion joints and jacking [1] [2]. Its accreditations page is unusually full, listing ISO certification alongside industry memberships such as CHAS, CARES and RISQS [3]. The company has been active for decades, which makes its history easy to check [4].
Reviews of Freyssinet Limited tell a cooler story than the credentials: a middling Google rating from a small set of ratings sits against the heavyweight accreditations [5]. No prices or insurance details are published either [1] [2]. Our opinion: it suits specialist repair and strengthening work rather than domestic extensions, where its Telford base and long record matter most.
On services and areas, the company site sets out a specialist menu: structural repair, post-tensioning, bearings, expansion joints and jacking, run from the Telford head office, with further offices in London, Rotherham and Glasgow [1] [2]. The accreditations page behind it lists ISO certification alongside CHAS, CARES and RISQS membership, the fullest credentials page in this round [3].
Customer evidence runs cooler than the credentials: a middling Google rating from a small set of ratings is the whole independent record [5]. No other platform rating sits on file, and the site publishes no prices to set against the heavyweight accreditations [1] [2]. Our opinion: the record fits managed repair programmes rather than domestic one-beam jobs, where the Telford base and long history matter most.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Freyssinet suits you if you need a long-established specialist for structural repair, strengthening or post-tensioning rather than a domestic extension practice [1] [4]. Its accreditations page is unusually full [3]. Set against that: a middling Google rating and no published prices. The Telford head office takes enquiries by phone, email or form [2].

Questions about Freyssinet Limited
Is Freyssinet Limited any good?
For specialist repair work, the record is strong: a Telford head office, decades of company history and a full accreditations page behind structural repair, post-tensioning and jacking. The cooler note is a middling Google rating from a small set of ratings [5]. Send your specification for an itemised written quote.
Is Freyssinet Limited registered with an industry scheme?
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification with CHAS, CARES and RISQS membership are all listed on its own accreditations page [3]. There is no mandatory register for structural engineers. Ask which certifications cover your job and get the certificate details in writing. The accreditations page also names BJA, CECA, CPA, CRA and further ISO standards behind the headline set [3].
How much does Freyssinet Limited charge?
It publishes no prices, rates or VAT terms on its site [1] [2]. Your quote does the talking: send the full specification and ask for an itemised fixed fee. Confirm what counts as an extra, such as revisits or redesigns, before you agree anything. Send the full specification rather than a rough outline so the fixed fee means something.
Where does Freyssinet Limited work?
Its head office and registered office sit in Telford, with further offices in London, Rotherham and Glasgow. Telford jobs go through the head office by phone, email or enquiry form [2]. Send your postcode with the specification to confirm coverage. Use the phone, email or enquiry form on the contact page to reach the right desk.
How is Freyssinet Limited ranked?
It ranks second of the five structural engineers in our September round, picked for specialist structural repair and strengthening work. Firms are listed in score order and this round's evidence is dated 4 September 2026. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised written quote. Its repair-and-strengthening best-for puts clear water between it and the domestic-beam firms in the table.
How do I get a quote from Freyssinet?
Through the Telford head office by phone, email or enquiry form [2]. Send the full specification with drawings and access detail, and ask for an itemised fixed fee that names revisits and redesigns as included or extra. Confirm which certifications cover your job and get the certificate details alongside the price [3].
What do the reviews say about Freyssinet?
Less than the credentials promise: a middling Google rating from a small set of ratings, seen in this September round [5]. No other platform rating sits on file to balance or confirm it. Ask for recent client references with your quote to fill the gap the platforms leave. If you have used the firm, the review form on this page takes customer reviews.
