Dampguard & Plastering in short
Dampguard & Plastering is a Telford damp-proofing and plastering firm and a stated Triton-approved contractor, serving Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. The company record is checkable, with an active limited company behind the name, and free quotes are offered. In our judgement it is the wall-first pick of this round: the firm to call when walls need treatment before any redecoration.
Customers give Dampguard & Plastering 4.5 on Google from 25 reviews, a middling mark by this round's standards, and Google carries the story alone with no second source on record. The long company record and the stated manufacturer approval stand in its favour. Free quotes keep the first step simple.
What counts against it is scope and paperwork: wallpapering itself is not offered, and no insurance detail is published. Our verdict suits it strictly to jobs where damp treatment and plastering come first, with pure hanging jobs placed elsewhere.
Our verdict

The Google rating of 4.5 from 25 reviews trails the decorators in this round [2]. Wallpapering itself is not offered, so pure hanging jobs sit elsewhere.
