Plastering Skills Required

Although I've been involved in the trade for many years now, I still have the same passion and enthusiasm for plastering as when I first picked up a trowel. The question I am asked by clients and apprentices alike is "what skills are required to be a top-class plasterer?". Well here's the answer:

• have good co-ordination and practical ability
• be physically fit
• be able to work quickly and as part of a team
• have numeracy skills for calculating surface areas to be covered and volume of materials needed
• be aware of health & safety issues
