Dampguard & Plastering in short
Dampguard & Plastering is a Telford damp and plastering specialist backed by an active limited company record going back years. Its site sets out damp proofing, rot and timber work using Triton-approved methods, with a free quote offer. Rot and timber treatments sit on the same site, so one firm can follow moisture from diagnosis to repair. Where damp sits behind tired walls, that specialism is the point of this review.
The firm's subject is moisture: proofing against it, and the rot and timber work that follows, all sitting beside plastering on a single site. The limited company has stood behind the name since incorporation almost twenty years back, so diagnosis and repair stay under one roof. Enquiries run through two published numbers and an inbox, spread over three towns. Our view: wet walls with tired finishes are this firm's home turf.
Customers rate Dampguard & Plastering 4.5 on Google across twenty-five reviews. The site gives two phone numbers and an email address across three named towns. Our judgement: the company record and the damp specialism stand out; rendering is not named as a separate service and no prices or insurance details are published, which counts against it.
The crowd is big and the marks are middling: volume impresses far more than the score. Rendering never gets its own headline on the site, and figures of any kind are absent. Our judgement: the specialism outshines the score, which is why the firm sits second.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this suits you if your walls need damp work alongside plastering, given the company record since 2007 and the Triton-approved methods on the site [1] [3]. The gaps are paperwork, with no insurance detail and no prices published, against a mid-range 4.5 rating from 25 reviews [1] [2].

Questions about Dampguard & Plastering
Is Dampguard & Plastering any good?
On the evidence, yes where damp work sits alongside the plastering: second in our Telford rendering table, an active company record, Triton-approved methods on the site and a mid-range Google rating across 25 reviews. Rendering is not named separately. Send photos of the affected walls and ask for the damp diagnosis in writing.
Is Dampguard & Plastering TrustMark registered?
No TrustMark registration could be sourced from the registers, its website or the platforms checked. The site states Triton-approved methods, which is a manufacturer approval rather than a register listing. Ask for the approval detail and the insurance papers together. Get both in writing before work starts. A manufacturer method stands in for register membership here.
What does Dampguard & Plastering charge?
The site offers a free quote but publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT position. That means your quote does the talking: send the full scope and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm what the price covers and whether VAT is included before you agree anything. No figure of any kind is printed; the itemised reply is everything.
Where does Dampguard & Plastering work?
The firm covers Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton from its Telford base, across damp proofing, rot, timber and plastering work. Two phone numbers and an email address take enquiries. Send your postcode with photos of the job to confirm you are covered. The book covers three towns; the first message sorts yours.
How do I get a quote from Dampguard & Plastering?
Ring either published number or use the email; the site invites free quotes. Lead with wall photos and the full scope, and ask for the damp diagnosis written down with the fixed figure. Pair the request with Triton paperwork and insurance proof, neither of which the site shows. Name your town early; three share the book.
What do customers say about Dampguard & Plastering, and how does it compare?
Twenty-five reviewers put it mid-pack on marks while filling the seats. Second comes from the company file and the damp string, not the score. Rivals above and below out-rate it; none matches the moisture brief. The score trails every rival in the top five. Bring it in where damp shares the job with plaster.
How is Dampguard & Plastering ranked?
It ranks second of the ten renderers in our September round, picked for damp-plus-plastering jobs backed by a checkable company record. Its rating trails the leaders and rendering is not named separately. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised quote. The company file, not the crowd, explains second place.
