Hello all
love this site, and been busy reading about the up's n down's for becoming a plasterer!
i am a 30 year old, fully conversant in the ways of plastering for many years and also dot n dab and stud walls, but with no certs nor qualifications to show what i can do.
i am somewhat of a perfectionist and do a great job
I have been looking at this for a while now and this is what i love doing privately! and i am keen to get what advice as to course's and training and NVQ's and so on.
with AbleSkills? ( to name just one place to gain the certs) just to get the certs needed these days to work on site. i do not need the course to learn the trade, but i am sure i will learn some things that will be useful and also waste some time in doing mixing and perp work to gain a City & G, or NVQ for a few £££££ in the next few months.
i have done site work and new builds in the past and i think i know most of the pit falls and so on. and I do have my cscs card
but I need something to see me enjoy my days work, and i know plasering is the one for me.
but upon reading some postings on here from last year, is this a good thing to get into now? i am not looking to make a fourtune from plastering just a comfortable income in doing something i really enjoy.
i am about to ask some local plasterers if they wish to try me out to show my ability.
but this is one major site to get a number of views and some will be pratical and some not so ( i know ) but i simply need advice as to what you guys feel the state of the uk plaster/work is like now and maybe where it is heading..
i live in dorset on the sunny coastal town of poole.
listen any advice and any thoughts will be read and re read with open eyes and open mind :-0
so please do not hold back :RpS_crying:
