Plasterers in Hassocks – Extension Plastering
The last trade before an extension starts feeling like part of the house is the plasterer. Brighton Plasterers boards and plasters new extensions across Hassocks — kitchens, garden rooms, side returns and double-storey additions — taking bare blockwork and studwork to smooth, paint-ready walls.

The junction is the tell
You can spot a rushed extension from inside: a visible seam where new plaster meets old, cracking along the joint within the year. We cut back and mesh these junctions properly and skim across them, because the building will always move slightly where new meets old — the plastering has to allow for it, not pretend it won’t happen.
Working with your build
We slot into your builder’s programme or work directly for you on a self-managed project, and we’ll price from drawings before the walls are even up if you’re budgeting ahead. Free written quotes across Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Ditchling and Burgess Hill.
Pricing from drawings
If your extension is still at the planning stage, send the drawings over — we’ll price the boarding and plastering from them so your budget is realistic before the slab is even poured. Fixed written quotes, and we’ll flag anything on the drawings that usually causes plastering surprises later, like unventilated flat ceilings or missing insulation specs.

Hassocks plastering questions
When should the plasterer be booked in an extension build?
After first-fix electrics and plumbing, before decoration — and ideally priced from drawings early so the budget is realistic. We work to your builder’s programme.
Why does new plaster crack where the extension meets the house?
Because new and old structures always move slightly against each other. We mesh and detail those junctions so the movement doesn’t telegraph through as a crack line.
Do you insulate extension walls when boarding?
Where the spec calls for it, yes — insulated plasterboard fitted as part of the boarding stage, keeping building control happy and the room warm.
