DAB Plastering & Building Services is based 8 minutes from Egham town centre. From Victorian cottages off Vicarage Road to the newer builds around Pooley Green and student-let refurbishments near Royal Holloway, our team has worked across every part of TW20.
Egham has changed rapidly over the last decade — new apartments near the station, Royal Holloway expanding westwards, and a lot of family houses being extended rather than sold. That's kept us busy in TW20. We're not a national franchise, so when you call, you speak to the same team that will be on-site. And because our yard is a short drive away in Staines-upon-Thames, we're never far when a callback is needed.
You'll see our team regularly around Vicarage Road, Pooley Green Road, Rusham Road, Whitehall Lane, and the residential streets between Egham Hythe and Egham town centre. We also cover Englefield Green up to the border with Virginia Water.
Egham is one of our most regular postcodes. Our yard in Staines-upon-Thames is 8 minutes down the A308, so materials runs and callback visits are quick — no half-day travel charges buried in the quote.
Egham enquiries typically get a same-day callback and an on-site survey within 2–3 working days. For urgent ceiling or damp-related jobs, we prioritise TW20 alongside our TW18 base.
Egham's housing splits three ways: Victorian and Edwardian terraces off the High Street and Vicarage Road, 1930s–60s semis around Pooley Green and Whitehall Lane, and modern apartments near the station and the Royal Holloway campus. Each needs a different prep approach — lime plaster on the older stock, gypsum re-skims on the mid-century houses, and shrinkage-crack repair on the new-builds.
Common jobs in Egham: student-let turnaround plastering for landlords near Royal Holloway, extension and knock-through skim work in the family houses around Pooley Green, and Artex removal in the 1960s and 70s semis on the streets running off Rusham Road.

Our base in Staines is a short drive down the A308. Fast site visits, fast callbacks, no travel charges hidden in the price.
Egham is one of our most-served postcodes outside our home town. We know the streets, the property types and the common issues.
Every Egham job is covered by £10 million public liability insurance, protecting your home and any neighbouring property.
"Professional and diligent with great attention to detail. Very respectful of our home — honestly the tidiest tradesperson I've ever met. On top of this, a genuinely nice guy." — Helen A., verified Yell review.
The specific problems we see repeatedly in Egham — driven by the local property mix, building age and climate. Naming them matters, because the fix changes with the cause.
The older terraces around Vicarage Road and the High Street were built with lime plaster on lath. Skimming straight over lime with modern gypsum without the right primer causes hollowing within a year. We use the correct bonding coat sequence, or overboard where the lath is failing.
Rentals around Royal Holloway see high turnover and heavy wall damage. We handle rapid turnaround plastering and painting-ready finishes between tenancies — usually a full room refresh completed in 3–5 working days.
The 1930s semis on the north side of Egham are prone to condensation on external gable walls. A hardwall coat and correctly specified insulated board can transform a room that's been mouldy every winter.
The newer apartments near the station move for 18–24 months after handover. Stairwell and ceiling-to-wall cracks are almost always shrinkage, not structural. Scrim, tape and re-skim fixes them permanently.
The same system on every job, every postcode, every time — from your first message to the certificate in your handover pack.
Call the number at the top of this page or send the quote form. Same-day callback in almost every case.
