Luckylad Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hello I'm in the process of doing a self build and this forum seems a great source of help and advice. I hope I can give out some advice, as well as receive it, because I've been a plasterer for 34 years so should know what I'm talking about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got quotes from about half a dozen, and Rationel were the cheapest (and almost the best for me) Others I tried were Internorm, Nordan, Katzbeck, Russel Timbertech and a couple of others I forget. Oh and welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Welcome @Luckylad Kinda remember that a plasterer used to be a plasterer and slater up here. Something to do with the weather and keeping busy all year. What about you...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've been plastering for 34 years, I assume you'll either have the shoulders of a god, or they'll be completely knackered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
