[Jgreenplastering]

the break up of plastering started with screeders, plasterers just did not like screeding. hard work laying screed and labourers knocking up 10 tonne of screed every day by hand .
the next part to separate was tacking, the price that was offered for tacking was impossible.
a plasterers labourer worked hard mixing course stuff by hand with a couple of plasterers wanting to float a house a day.
british gypsum started courses for dot and dab in the 60s which was the end for floating.
along came pre mixed plaster multi finish which took over from sirapite which was mixed with lime and board finish plaster or mirite plaster.
plastering today is easy money

Skimming today is easy money don't you mean?

Skimming today is easy money don't you mean?

on site work the best money that a plasterer would earn was on the floating coat.that was the only thing that the QS. could not work out your days work, what they wanted from you was piece work action for day work money.
the work is a lot lighter today but you need to cover larger areas on site work to earn your money. if you can sell yourself better it is financially better to keep well away from builders/ developers.
