A Thorpe Plastering in short
A Thorpe Plastering is a Telford plasterer set up in September 2005, offering re-decoration after plastering alongside skimming, rendering and tiling. Contact is straightforward, with a landline, a mobile and an email address on the site, and free quotes are offered. In our judgement it suits anyone whose wallpapering follows fresh plaster and who wants one tradesperson for both.
Customers rate A Thorpe Plastering at the top of the scale: five stars on Google across a deep set of reviews, a spotless record in this round. This review reads that record, plus two decades of stated trading, as the profile's main strength. No second review source sits on record, so the Google account carries the story alone.
What counts against it is narrow but real: wallpapering itself is not named as a service, and neither insurance detail nor opening hours are published. Our verdict keeps the firm to plaster-first briefs, with pure hanging jobs placed elsewhere.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this firm suits you if your wallpapering follows fresh plaster and you want one Telford tradesperson for both, backed by two decades of stated trading and a spotless review record [1] [2]. Wallpapering itself is not named as a service. The gaps are insurance paperwork and opening hours [1].
