Owner-Led, Owner-Led,Fifteen Years On The Trowel —And Still Local.
DAB Plastering & Building Services is an owner-led team based in Staines-upon-Thames. We deliver plastering, extensions, renovations, media walls and full refits across Surrey — with a fixed written quote, one point of contact, and a site left cleaner than we found it.
Built On Repeat Business.
DAB started with a trowel, a van and a promise to leave every home better than we found it. Fifteen years on, most of our work still comes through recommendation — the same clients booking us back for the second room, the extension, the loft.
We're a family team — small enough that you speak to the person doing the work, structured enough to run extensions, renovations and full refits without dropping the ball.
Homeowners refurbishing a room or a whole house, landlords turning around rentals between tenancies, developers finishing new-build shells, and interior designers who need walls truly flat before wallpaper, panelling or specialist coatings.
Plastering — skimming, rendering, dry lining, Venetian and polished plaster — plus the wider building work most of our clients need alongside it: extensions, loft and garage conversions, media walls, kitchens, bathrooms and full renovations. One team, one written quote, coordinated in-house.
Fifteen-plus years on the tools, learning the difference between a wall that lasts twenty years and one that maps within a season. That experience shows up in the small things: the order of coats, suction control, joint scrimming, angle beading and trowel timing.
Based at TW18 2TB in Staines-upon-Thames, we work across Staines-upon-Thames & Surrey — including Egham, Ashford (Surrey), Chertsey, Sunbury-on-Thames, Weybridge, Windsor, Feltham and Kingston upon Thames.
The Way We Work. Non-Negotiable.
Three things we won't cut corners on — regardless of the job size, the budget, or the pressure of a moving deadline.
Quality standards
Every plaster spec matched to the wall in front of us: bonding coat on smooth or low-suction backgrounds, hardwall on dense masonry, waterproof render on damp-repaired walls, and lime-compatible methods on period property. Fifteen-plus years of hands-on experience — and it shows in the finish.
Service philosophy
Dust-sheeted, taped, hoovered daily. One point of contact from quote to snag list. Written variations only, so the number you agree is the number you pay. Our clients on Yell put it plainly: 'the tidiest tradesperson I've ever met.'
Our guarantee
