Alfred Plastering in short
Alfred Plastering is a Telford sole trader for small plastering jobs, booked direct by phone or email, claiming more than twenty years of experience. Its site shows customer reviews describing fast call-outs and tidy finishes, but it is a thin template with vague service wording, no hours and no prices. A phone number and an email address keep booking direct and simple.
Customer reviews are strong, with a high-fours Google rating across around a dozen ratings. Industry qualifications cannot be sourced anywhere checked, and the experience claim stands alone with no company record behind it and no insurance detail. The thin site is what holds the assessment back. Our verdict: Alfred Plastering suits a Telford homeowner who wants a reviewed sole trader for a small job.
The record shows a Telford sole trader for small plastering jobs, booked direct through a phone number and an email address, with customer reviews on its own site describing fast call-outs and tidy finishes [1]. The template pages stay vague on services, with no hours and no prices. Direct contact is the whole journey here: the room and the surface described, with a straight answer expected on whether the job fits.
The customer evidence spans two places: the Google sheet and reviews published on the firm's own site describing fast call-outs and tidy finishes. The site voices add colour without adding independence. Our view: a strong small-job record that fits the sole-trader shape.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this suits a Telford homeowner who wants a reviewed sole trader for a small plastering job and will book by phone [1][2]. We rate the rating and the direct contact as strengths because both are evidenced.

Questions about Alfred Plastering
Is Alfred Plastering any good?
On the evidence, yes for small jobs: it sits tenth in our Telford plasterers table, holds a high-fours Google rating, and publishes site reviews describing fast call-outs and tidy finishes. The site is thin, so read the full page. Call the published number to book direct. Fast call-outs and tidy finishes are the phrases its site reviews repeat.
Is Alfred Plastering registered with a trade scheme?
No scheme membership is on record: industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked, and the site claims none. Plastering has no mandatory register, so ask for the insurance papers instead. Get them in writing before work starts. Ask instead what insurance sits behind the job and get the answer in writing.
What does Alfred Plastering charge?
It publishes no rates, quote terms or VAT position. That means your call does the talking: describe the room and the surface and ask for a fixed quote. Confirm what the price covers and whether VAT is added before you agree anything. Describe the room and the surface on the call so the fixed figure means something.
Where does Alfred Plastering work?
The sole trader works across Telford for small plastering jobs, booked direct by phone or email. There are no published opening hours, so call ahead. Say which part of Telford the job sits in, and send your postcode when you call to confirm you are covered. Most Telford postcodes sit inside a sole trader's natural run.
How is Alfred Plastering ranked?
It ranks tenth of the ten plasterers in our September round, picked for Telford plastering booked direct by phone. Its thin site keeps it at the foot, so read the full page. Read the review, then ask for the fixed quote. Thin paperwork rather than unhappy customers is what keeps it at the foot.
How do I get a quote from Alfred Plastering?
Call the published number or send an email, describing the room and the surface, and ask for a fixed quote for the small job. Booking runs direct with the sole trader, with no office and no form in between. Confirm what the figure covers before anything is agreed. Expect a straight answer on whether the job fits.
What do customers say about Alfred Plastering?
Customers rate it in the high fours on Google across around a dozen reviews, with site-published reviews describing fast call-outs and tidy finishes. The site voices come from the business itself; set them beside the Google sheet when you read. Read both before calling. Together they suit a small-job sole trader well.
How does Alfred Plastering compare with the others in this round?
It sits tenth as the phone-first small-job pick, closing a table where every name above brings a deeper footprint. Its customer evidence still reads well for reactive room work, which keeps it ranked rather than merely researched. For a small Telford job it holds its place; for larger briefs, compare higher.
