    How to get work on a site?

    Hi all. Probably the wrong place to post this but I am wondering how I find work plastering on a site?

    Are Quick Plastering Courses Worth It?

    Scud the blockwork

    I was taught (on short C&G course) that all floating and rendering should be done with the box method. Today floated out a wall using strip of plasterboard and it was a doddle. The idea behind the box screed is to make your own panels to level from. It does work but takes time... Unless you...

    K Rend’s Lightweight Render Offers Time Saving Benefits

    float and set near Hook

    Danny is the Chuck Norris of plastering
