What is new builds, extensions and renovations?
On a build or renovation the plasterer sits right in the middle of the programme. Electricians and plumbers need to be finished first, decorators and kitchen fitters are waiting for dry walls, and any delay pushes everything back. Reliable timing and clear communication matter as much as the finish itself.
Ash Plastering provides full packages for extensions, renovations and new builds: dry lining, boarding ceilings, skimming, beading, external render and making good at the end. We work with homeowners, builders and other trades, and we keep the site organised and clean so the next trade can get straight on.
When you might need it
- Single and double storey extensions
- Loft conversions and garage conversions
- Whole house renovations and refurbishments
- New build homes and small developments
- Matching new render to an existing house

The Ash Plastering process
- 01
Plan
We look at drawings or the site, agree the scope and fit our work around your programme and the other trades.
- 02
First fix
Boarding, beading and backing coats once the frame, services and windows are in.
- 03
Finish
Skimming internally and render externally, with crisp corners, reveals and edges.
- 04
Hand over
Making good, a clean site and a clear note of drying times so decorators know when to start.
What affects the price
Every property is different, so we give a fixed, written quote after a free site visit rather than a guess over the phone. The main things that shape the cost are:
- The overall size and scope of the project
- The mix of dry lining, wet plaster and external render
- How work is phased around other trades
- Access, scaffolding and site conditions
- Specification of boards, beads and render systems
Common problems it fixes
- Builds held up waiting for plastering
- New extensions that do not match the house
- Rough finishes that show through decoration
- Messy sites that slow down following trades
