Dampguard & Plastering in short
Dampguard and Plastering is a Telford limited company that pairs damp proofing with plastering: damp proof courses, rot treatment and timber treatment alongside the making good. That combination is what sets it apart, backed by a company record stretching back nearly two decades. The damp specialism runs through the whole site, from surveys to final skim. Contact is easy, with a freephone number, a mobile and an email address, plus a free quote offer.
Customer reviews are mixed-positive, with a mid-fours Google rating across a couple of dozen ratings, which trails the other rated firms in this round. Triton contractor status is stated on the business's own website, though the site publishes no insurance detail. Our verdict: Dampguard and Plastering is the natural shortlist pick when plaster damage comes with damp.
The record shows a Telford limited company pairing damp proof courses, rot treatment and timber treatment with plastering repairs, reached through a freephone number, a mobile and an email address [1]. Cover names Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, so damp jobs across that patch open with photos of the damage and a postcode. The free quote offer opens the conversation before any survey is booked.
The customer evidence runs to the widest base of any specialist here, all on the held Google listing. That record trails the rest of the table on its headline figure, and honest comparison starts there. Our view: a genuinely mixed-positive record that suits a firm selling diagnosis as much as finish.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this is the natural shortlist pick when plaster damage comes with damp, given the stated specialism and the 19-year company record [1][3]. We rate the documented history and the damp focus as strengths because both are checkable.

Is Dampguard and Plastering registered with a trade scheme?
Triton contractor status is stated on the firm's own website, which is a manufacturer approval rather than a register membership. No scheme number is printed, so ask what the status covers on your job. Get the approval detail and the insurance papers together in writing before work starts. Ask what the Triton status covers on a domestic job like yours.
What does Dampguard and Plastering charge?
It offers a free quote but publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT position. That means your visit does the talking: show the affected walls and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Photos of the damage help it judge whether a survey must come first.

How is Dampguard and Plastering ranked?
It ranks third of the ten plasterers in our September round, picked for damp problems needing plastering made good afterwards. Its lower rating keeps it off the top, so read the reviews yourself.

How do I get a quote from Dampguard and Plastering?
Call the freephone number or the mobile, send photos of the affected walls with your postcode, and ask for the free quote on a visit. Say whether the damage is active damp or old staining, since diagnosis shapes the price. Confirm what the figure covers before anything is agreed. The visit costs nothing, so show every affected wall.
What do customers say about Dampguard and Plastering?
Customers rate it in the mid-fours on Google across a couple of dozen reviews, the widest base of any specialist here and the lowest headline in the table.

How does Dampguard and Plastering compare with the others in this round?
It sits third as the damp-led pick, the only ranked firm pairing proofing and treatment with making good.
