B M Poole Plastering

Ranked 5 of 11 in Plasterers in Telford

Sole Trader

Much Wenlock · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Ludlow

Our verdict

Our judgement: this is a good match for an older Shropshire property needing lime plaster or patch repairs, given the stated heritage specialism [1]. We rate the lime focus and the practical site as strengths because both are specific. Before you book, ask what its insurance covers, how many lime elevations it coated last year and get preparation and materials in writing.

Insurance and safeguards C5 · weight 10%

65 out of 100

The site states INSURED without an amount, insurer or policy detail, which matches the stated-without-amount band [1].

Pricing transparency C6 · weight 5%

55 out of 100

The site invites quote requests through a form but states no rates, fees or VAT position, which is partial [1].

Website and service information C7 · weight 5%

85 out of 100

The site sets out skimming, dry-lining and lime services, names four towns, gives hours, phone, form and social links, and shows project photos and customer reviews [1].

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • You get a plasterer who names lime work explicitly, with a heritage plasterwork page describing breathable traditional finishes for older properties [1].

  • The site is practical: opening hours of Monday to Saturday 8.00 to 18.00, a phone number, a quote form and project photos are all published [1].

  • The review base is solid at 4.8 from 19 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026 [2].

Limitations

  • The site carries INSURED and QUALIFIED badges without amounts, scheme names or references [1]. Insurance scores 65 without detail.

  • No number of years trading is documented, so C4 sits in insufficient evidence [1][3].
