The goldtrowel courses are great! It is my last week of the 6 week course I did. I have learnt so much and an confident in becoming a good solid plasterer. Worth every penny if you ask me Give Andy at Goldtrowel a call he will answer all of your questions! GL mate

Hi Just getting started in the plastering world and wondering what vans you all have and pro's/con's of having them My budget would be around 5000. Seen some Transit connects on the trader for around that price. All with between 25-40k on the clock and all 06/07/08 plates. Just wondered if...
