Welcome to Bell Contracting, the specialized Contracting Division within the K W Bell Group. Our roots can be traced back to 1965 when our founder, Keith Bell, established a group of companies in the heart of The Forest Of Dean, Cinderford. From humble beginnings as a solitary bricklayer, Bell Contracting has grown to become a leading provider of groundwork and civil engineering services in the house building industry. With a rich history spanning over half a century, we take pride in being the longest-standing member of the KW Bell Group and the largest, with an annual turnover of approximately 50 million.

Poor Experience
The majority of the reviews describe a poor experience with the company. Despite having a rating system, Google does not have a zero-star option, which is apt given the negative reviews.
Lack of Consideration
Duncan Gourlay's review highlights a lack of consideration for elderly individuals. He describes a sub-contractor who is argumentative, confrontational, and happy to cause inconvenience. The use of the phrase "The Chuckle Brothers" suggests a sense of amusement or mockery, rather than seriousness.
Disgusting Group
Sharron Turner's review is scathing. She describes the company as disgusting and claims that they left her property in a filthy state. The accusation of shoddy and rude staff is particularly damning. The specific incidents mentioned, such as blocking drains and covering a conservatory in mud, suggest a complete disregard for customer satisfaction.
Limited Interaction
The only positive review comes from Zahir Malk, who gives the company three stars. However, even this review is lukewarm, with Zahir stating that he had to work for a day and experienced limited interaction with staff.
