    any plasterers in or around banbury, oxfordshire?

    Hiya, I was just wondering if there's anyone in or around the banbury area who is looking to take on a trainee plasterer? I've been going it alone for a couple of months now and taking on any small jobs, but I don't want to take on anything bigger until I have the confidence to get it spot on...

    Trainee/labourer/apprentice in Burton on Trent/Derby, can travel to surrounding areas

    Hiya, I'm coming to the end of my level 2 diploma now, and whilst it's given me a good intro to the trade and the confidence in using a trowel it obviously hasn't given me much in the way of 'real' on-the-job experience.

    need help patching a wall

    Right, just wanted to double check I'm going to be doing the right thing before I start. I've been asked to repair some hairline cracks and blown plaster. So I assume I remove any loose plaster, and then depending on the thickness of the existing surrounding plaster and the size of the patch...

    Howdy :)

    Just thought I'd say a little hello. I'm Laura from the the Midlands, and have recently started a level 2 in plastering (I know an apprenticeship would be far better, but unfortunately haven't able to acquire one thus far). I know the course is only a basic starting point, but one day in the...
