Dampguard & Plastering in short

Dampguard & Plastering is a Telford damp proofing and plastering firm, active as a limited company for nearly two decades. What stands out is the combined trade: damp proof courses, waterproof coatings, rot treatments and woodworm solutions alongside the plastering that damp work usually demands. Approved-contractor status with a proofing manufacturer is stated on its own website, which suits anyone who wants one local firm for the whole job.

Customers rate the firm solidly on the one platform that holds reviews: a mid-four-star Google score from two dozen ratings, seen on the listing. This review finds no second review source on record, so the base is narrower than the runners-up. The company record is long and checkable, which steadies the picture.

What counts against the firm is paperwork: no insurance details and no prices beyond a free quote are published. Our verdict reads Dampguard & Plastering as a practical choice for combined damp proofing, plastering and timber work from an established Telford name, marked down on the single-source review base and missing paperwork.
