From what I read on here the expectations are high to get on board. Is that a try to bring the standard on domestic up to site work? And what you will do if you find out sme of the members are not leaving up to BG standards job? I think most of the domestic served plasterers have never put a foot on site and have no idea what the standards now days are, or been kicked out of sites . How much control you will have over the standards and products used on domestic?

Thanks

Lol the standards on site are shocking and the skill set is even worse, rare you get someone who can board and skim never mind the other 80% of the craft.
 
It will probably be between 4pm and 5pm and usually be answered with good question, send us your details and we will call you ;)
 
@ British gypsum--
?
Are lecturers / tutor automatically enrolled onto the scheme ---- free of charge :inocente:?

And the last two posts basically sum the forum up these days. They set up a thread specifically to answer questions instead of jumping in the middle of the last handbags at dawn one and people still complain. Its pretty rediculous really.

Just my opinion mate, I suspect the lack of interest in the scheme has prompted bg to actually get on the forum and try and sell it? the guys that have got their memberships think it's great and they want people to respect the fact they are "approved" but it doesn't hold any weight because whoever approved you hasn't spent enough time watching you ply your trade in every aspect. Skimming rendering boarding floating screeding etc not to mention customer service housekeeping and all the other skills a decent tradesman needs to get by.

I respect your opinion. By the way plastering is a craft not a trade.

In my opinion bg tries to keep up with the kardashians, just look around how many schemes and review sites and lead providers out there, every trade tries to bolt on at least one of those to have online presence and leads coming in, these things comes with a running cost so that's why they charge£250 a year. It works for some and it won't benefit some. I see it black and white.

Has anyone used those sticky beads that you spray water on to save time......and you can smash your tool box into them...... Or is that a complete non starter as well?

I have used them and to be fair was alright but got them for free so had nothing to lose on board work and skimmed over on a reskim no good cos some of us like to plumb up pissed corners so basically for perfect board work

And he said he is not moderating the forum at all:rayos:
 
I got another question please BG is it true there is a standard minium plasterers wage on the scheme being set at £300 cash a day.?
 
malc said:
i would like to ask BG , to be a plasterer you do need to be able to carry out different disciplines most of which do not involve BG. ie floor screeding, external wall insulation, rendering, lime work,pargetting etc. or is this just another skimmers paradise?
i served a 5 year apprenticeship the only qualification that i have ever had. no csc card, i have never been unemployed, seen upteen recesions, so why do i need to join your list?
