Plasterwork that is what you expect to obtain (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parget

'plasterwork' is the definition.
(type of plastering)

'what you expect to obtain' is the wordplay.
'what you expect' becomes 'par' (as in 'par for the course').
'to obtain' becomes 'get' ('get' can be a synonym of 'obtain').
'par'+'get'='PARGET'

'that is' acts as a link.

(Another definition for parget that I've seen is " plaster on building".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
