RT Plastering review

Assessed in Plasterers in Telford

Sole Trader

Telford · Service area: Telford

RT Plastering in short

RT Plastering is a Stirchley plasterer with no working website, bookable by mobile, whose name, address and number agree across its Google listing and an independent directory entry. A similarly named Derbyshire firm on one directory page is a different business. Stirchley puts it inside the Telford patch, and both listings carry the same mobile number.

On services, the record is thin but consistent. The provider record carries plastering and rendering trades with Telford as the service area, and both listings agree on the Stirchley base and the same mobile number. Neither listing sets out a service list, opening hours or cover beyond Telford, so room skims, ceilings and patch repairs stay unconfirmed rather than claimed. In our view this reads as a phone-first local plasterer rather than a documented full-scope firm.

Customer reviews are the draw here, with a high-fours Google rating across several dozen ratings, the second-biggest set in this round. No trading history, pricing or insurance detail is published anywhere found. That volume of customer evidence is rare outside the ranked table. It is the reviews that keep the firm in the conversation. Our view of the gap is plain: with no working website and nothing published on history or pricing, the reviews stand alone.

Our verdict: RT Plastering suits a Telford homeowner happy to book by phone on the strength of its reviews.

Our verdict

Our judgement: this suits a Telford homeowner who is happy to book by phone on the strength of reviews, given the 4.8 rating across 43 reviews [1]. We rate the review record as the strength and the thin public footprint as the limitation.

There is no working website for this business; the only web presence found is directory listings, so this scores at the no-website level [1][2].

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.

Strengths

  • You get a well-reviewed local option: 4.8 from 43 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026 [1].

  • The identity cross-checks cleanly, with the name, the Buckingham Crescent address and the mobile number matching across two listings [1][2].

Limitations

  • There is no working website, no trading history on the public record and no pricing published, so C4, C5 and C7 rest on little or no evidence [1][2][3].

  • The directory page links to an rtplastering.co.uk site that belongs to a Derbyshire plasterer, so do not use that link for this business [2].

Questions about RT Plastering

Is RT Plastering any good?

On the reviews, yes: it holds a high-fours Google rating across the round's second-biggest set of ratings from its Stirchley base. There is no working website and no trading history on record, so read the reviews alongside the thin footprint rather than alone. Call the mobile number for a phone quote once that balance suits you.

Is RT Plastering registered with a trade scheme?

No scheme membership is on record: industry qualifications cannot be sourced anywhere checked, and none is claimed. Plastering has no mandatory register, so ask for the insurance papers instead. Ask for proof of cover on the call and get it in writing before work starts, then keep the papers with the quote.

What does RT Plastering charge?

No rates, call-out fee, quote offer or VAT position is published anywhere found. That means your call does the talking: describe the rooms and surfaces and ask for a fixed quote. Confirm what the price covers, including preparation, materials, waste and VAT, before you agree anything. A fixed figure on a named scope beats an estimate given blind.

How is RT Plastering ranked?

It was researched for our September round but sits outside the ranked ten because it has no working website and publishes no trading history or pricing. That thin footprint is the whole gap. A similarly named Derbyshire firm on one directory page is a different business. If you run this business, use the Claim a listing link to send detail for the next round.

Where does RT Plastering work?

Stirchley in Telford is the base on both listings, and Telford is the service area on the record. No wider cover is stated, so streets beyond Telford sit outside what is published. Send your postcode with photos of the walls on the first call, and check the reply names your street as covered. Local jobs form the natural book for a phone-first firm.

How do I get a quote from RT Plastering?

Call the mobile number that both listings carry, since no website, form or email address stands in its place. Describe each room and surface, ask for a fixed quote on a named scope, and confirm what the figure covers before agreeing anything. Photos of the walls sent by phone help it price accurately. Agree the start date and the making-good terms alongside the price.

What do customers say about RT Plastering?

Customers leave one of the strongest sheets outside the ranked table: a high-fours Google rating across several dozen ratings, the second-biggest set in this round. No second platform widens the picture, but consistency across that volume is the story. Read a spread of the reviews on the listing before calling, oldest and newest, to see what repeats.

How does RT Plastering compare with the others in this round?

On reviews alone it would sit above most of the table, holding the round's second-biggest set at a high-fours figure. The ranked ten pair customer evidence with checkable footprints: working websites, stated histories or published quote terms that RT Plastering does not offer. For a homeowner happy to book by phone that trade reads well; for one wanting paperwork first, the ranked firms give more to check.
