Hi there. I've been asked by Danny to put together a quick article on what customers can do to ensure a pleasant relationship with their plasterer. We all know having tradesmen in can be a stressful time. In a recent poll it was up their with moving home and losing your job. So anything that can alleviate that stress has got to be a good thing, right?
Your plasterer turns up and there's no parking space outside your property. This means he has park half way down the street and then carry his tools and plaster back and forth repeatedly throughout the day. Not a good start. Make sure you've reserved some space for him directly outside your property with a couple of cones or a wheelie bin. Or even better, move your own car down the street or off the drive for the day. Don't allow the plasterer to set up on your driveway and then ten minutes later tell him you need to get your car out to go and get some milk. Like that woman last week.
Make sure there's a water supply. Perhaps offer to run a hose to where the plasterer has set up his gear.
Offer him some coffee or tea. But not cheap chicory based coffee.
