Renovation work that involves creating or repairing walls and ceilings, or applying finishes such as paint or wallpaper, typically requires the skills of a professional plasterer.
A plasterer must have a range of skills, including the ability to prepare surfaces, mix and apply plaster, create smooth and level finishes, work efficiently and safely with tools and equipment, and have a good eye for detail and aesthetics.
In the UK, plasterers can get trained through apprenticeships or vocational courses. Apprenticeships typically involve a combination of on-the-job training and classroom instruction, while vocational courses can range from short-term courses to longer, more comprehensive training programs. Some plasterers may also get certified by professional organizations to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in the field.
In the UK, plasterers can receive training from various institutes, including trade schools, vocational colleges, and apprenticeship programs offered by professional organizations such as City & Guilds or the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).
