    Wooden corner bead / modern alternatives

    Think this is being over thought. You can walk into b an q an search for wood dowling. Its not far off the original sizes they used on lath an plaster. Doesn’t matter what material you use.. the plaster will hairline crack down the connection.

    Best way to get into plastering?

    Everything you said bud is correct! Look for helping other plasterers an find your own feet that way. Courses is a option but limited in situations etc. All good plastering is experience really. Don’t be bought into the qualification side of it. I’ve seen plenty level 3 plasteres work an it’s...

    Idiots everywhere.

    Think your right.. price your worth. Too many ones scrapping for the cheap price an never getting any further. Just because the guy is super busy doesn’t mean he’s making more than you. Anyone can be stacked with work when your pricing £120 a day. Or is the guy who’s pricing high an only getting...

    The funniest part.. the joiner who passed my details on said the man of the house asked if I was good at my job as he thought I looked young. 33 ffs! How old you ment to look to be a good plasterer? Dina half get them.

    ha! Done a woman’s kitchen the other week. After I was done she said “ just to let you know I like a wee bargain so if I pay you cash I’d appreciate it “ while standing in her big fancy house. Looked at her an thought you miserable git. That’s how people like you have houses like this.

    Sounds like your timing is off.. can happen from time to time.. especially if you use a super flexy dingy thing

    NHS private medical records grab

    Just England from what I heard a few weeks ago. There’s a lot of s**t going on behind closed doors but people are too busy putting a mask on to walk outside to a deadly virus that McDonald’s managed to stay open through the whole thing! Stay save an keep your head buried in the gullible sand pit

    Trowels getting to sharp!

    The illusion you need mega pressure to plaster a wall! False an a bad habit. Trowel does the work so you don’t have to. Carbon all day everyday.

    Could be a combination of timing an trowel angle. Both play a vital part in this corona virus pandemic an we MUST protect ourself at ALL costs.

    Interesting. There no point worrying as oils running out in 9years an other fossils taking it to 2050. Oil won’t run out like turning a water supply off. It will be a decrease motion,,, barrels will sky rocket in price an the world will collapse like never before. We currently have no...

    Show me the money.

    Maybe so but as domestic work goes.. can’t see much changing for the spreads. Costumers have leaned a lot more into plastering again rather taping! Only pleb joiners still doing taping the greedy c**ts. Amount of joiners ask me to do something but they tape. f**k off. Fell out with loads.

    End of year returns

    Ah right ok. So if you’ve been in business for 5 years or so..hmrc expect you to be making the same as the business who’s say been established for 10 plus years? Most guys are starting business run for 3/5 years an closing down an start up again.

    End of year returns

    I know of people who took mega bounce back loads an are not intending on paying them back! £30/50K I’m sure hmrc will have there hands full chasing these guys before they look into a local plasterer who earns under 30k a year. Grant wise, was it £7500 capped.. how they going to prove you never...

    End of year returns

    I noticed when the 4th grant came available an when applying it said something about checking bank accounts etc an that never happened on the first 3. I believe it’s a fear tactic but I’m terrified of Covid an just can’t chance working in anyone’s homes. It’s just far to scary. My minds been all...

    Ppplasterers

    I hardly ever work on new builds. Sprit level or sometimes the trust worthy eye levels do better when other things are off. Cant use sprit levels all the time. Just google them, I can’t remember where I last got mine. Was a local shop but plenty online. The pin ones are good but sometimes you...

    Plastic pinned hammer fixings. All day every day! Anything else is slow an a pain in the arse. Get the sds out an batter on! Best fixing an no f**k**g about. Dabbing on is cowboy stuff.

    How much you say is fair

    Yeah back in the day.. now everyone wants top dollar an work half days ha! An that’s just the labs. I get what your saying though.
  32. S

    How much you say is fair

    Way too many old plasterers told me not to go down this route. Stick to yourself an a lab maybe two labs. Any more isn’t worth it unless you go big. So I’ve stayed away from this issue myself.

    Evening!

    I’m booked in at the Scottish lime centre trust. On a lime rendering course. Yeah i know it’s a different game altogether but find myself more interested in traditional building an so forth. The course is a start an I already have a company taking me on in 2022 to give me experience in the lime...

    Hand balling mono

    8 sqm handball is piss easy.. do a scratch coat of your not confidant.. if you are.. first coat.. flatten best you can.. let it take up a bit. Second coat..flatten/ fill hollows etc. Go back scratch it. Hand ball is more graft but you have no worries on 8 sqm man. I’ve done gables with hand...

    HMRC and what they can find.

    Listen I’ve watched 100s of documentaries about all sorts an let me tell ya.. these massive corporations will go to great lengths to cover the truth even bribing officials an scientists an the list goes on. The footage alone is enough on that particular doc is enough to see it’s inhuman what we...

    HMRC and what they can find.

Australia news were on about how the politic sector have been found out giving themselves massive bonuses through this whole pandemic an that’s the reason they don’t want it to end. Actually sickening how...

    Render over Pebbledash

    I do cast overs all the time.. products designed to go over in a one coat system then dashed with stones. Giving the original is sound of course. I don’t however go over it with a smooth finish as this needs more then one coat an could put to much strain on the original scratch coat unless you...

    Totally agree here.. it’s not like you don’t have kids. My girlfriend does beauty an when she talks to girls who have 3 kids etc they feel they have to keep going as the thought of not having any more baby’s gives them a sense of panic/anxiety of some sort. I don’t know could be something worth...
