Dampguard & Plastering in short
Dampguard and Plastering is a Telford damp proofing and plastering firm behind a limited company record stretching back the best part of two decades. Its draw is doing both halves of the job: damp proof courses, waterproof coatings and rot treatment plus the replastering that follows, all from one contractor starting with a free quote. This review finds a business built for walls that need stripping back and making good, not just injecting.
The firm's homepage sets out its services with a named patch of Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, two phone numbers and an email address. Customers give steady rather than glowing marks: the headline rating is four point five out of five across twenty-five Google reviews. Twenty-five ratings also make it the largest review base anywhere in this round. The site also states manufacturer approval as a Triton contractor, though that claim sits on its own pages rather than the maker's register.
Our judgement: Dampguard and Plastering suits a Telford homeowner who wants treatment and plastering from a single long-standing firm. What counts against it is paperwork: insurance cover stays off the site, and no rates, call-out terms or VAT position appear beyond the free-quote offer. Dampguard and Plastering is the round's pick where one contractor owning the whole wall matters most. Few Telford jobs need two contractors where one will do.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Dampguard & Plastering suits a Telford homeowner who wants damp treatment and the follow-on plastering from a single long-standing firm, with a free quote to start [1] [2]. The public record shows steady review scores rather than a large fan base [3]. What counts against it is paperwork: insurance cover and any pricing detail stay off the site [1].

Questions about Dampguard & Plastering
Is Dampguard & Plastering any good?
On the evidence, yes for wall-first jobs: it stands third of three in our September round, pairing damp treatment with the replastering that follows, from a Telford firm behind a company record stretching back years. Google reviews sit at a steady middle rather than the top. Read the reviews, then ask for proof of cover with your free quote.
Is Dampguard & Plastering PCA registered?
Damp proofing carries no mandatory registration, and no PCA membership is published for this firm on the member finder or its site — it can't be sourced. What is stated: manufacturer approval as a Triton contractor on the firm's own website, rather than on the maker's register. Ask what that approval covers and who backs the guarantee.
What does Dampguard & Plastering charge?
Quotes are free, arranged over two phone lines or by email, but no rates, call-out terms or VAT position are published. The quote therefore sets the price. Describe the walls, send photos inside and out, and ask for treatment, replastering and VAT shown as separate lines. Photos help: send inside and outside shots of each wall.
Where does Dampguard & Plastering work?
The firm is based in Telford and names Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton as its patch. Wellington, Dawley and Madeley sit inside that triangle. Send your postcode with the first enquiry and ask for confirmation you are covered before arranging the visit. Villages around the town fall the same way — name yours and ask for confirmation.
How do I get a quote from Dampguard & Plastering?
Call either published phone number or email the firm to arrange the free quote. Expect questions about which walls are affected, the age of the property and whether plaster is already blown. Have photos ready, plus notes on gutters, ground levels and when the damp shows. Evening and weekend visits are worth asking about if days are tight.
What do Dampguard & Plastering reviews say?
Google shows four point five out of five from twenty-five reviews, the largest review base in this round but the lowest headline mark. That reads as steady rather than glowing. Read a spread of recent reviews for mentions of tidiness, drying times and aftercare, then decide. Scores move, so check the live profile on the day.
How is Dampguard & Plastering ranked?
It ranks third of the three damp proofing firms in our September round, favoured where treatment plus replastering comes from one Telford firm. What customers say counts most toward the score, then competence, history, cover and pricing clarity. Read the full trade ranking, then compare its all-in quote against a treatment-only rival.
