Lewis Howdle Ltd review

Ranked 5 of 5 in Structural engineers in Telford

Best for: Telford clients wanting a long-standing practice

Active

Trading as LEWIS HOWDLE LIMITED · Wellington · Service area: Telford

Lewis Howdle Ltd in short

Lewis Howdle Ltd is a consulting engineering practice at Haygate Road in Wellington, listed with a named contact, phone and fax [1]. The limited company behind it has traded for decades, which is the firm's strongest card [2]. It suits Telford clients who want a long-standing practice and are happy to make contact by phone rather than through a website.

Reviews run against it: a low Google rating from a pair of ratings is the whole customer record [3]. There is no website, so services, prices and insurance details cannot be checked online [1] [3]. Our opinion: Lewis Howdle Ltd is a history-led choice for general consulting work, but neither its cover nor its cost is published on any public source.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Lewis Howdle suits you if you prefer a long-established Wellington practice and will make contact by phone [1] [2]. The company has traded since 1999 [2]. Set against that: a low Google rating from two reviews, no website, and no published prices or insurance details [3].
