Course Information for Students

This five-week introduction is ideal for those who do not have the time or money to work towards a qualification but wish to learn the key principles of plastering without the burden of exams.

You will be taught by plastering specialists who will provide in-time demonstrations and specialist tips on how to get started.
 

All adults are welcome, aged 19+.

There are no formal entry requirements for this experience – you just need a keen interest in home DIY and saving money!

Working within a warm and relaxed group environment, we will cover everything from the importance of health and safety to the correct use of materials and tools for application and finishing.

You will explore a variety of plastering activities, such as:

– Fixing plasterboard to stud work

– Professional flat skimming techniques for walls and ceilings

– Dry lining with plasterboard and adhesive

– Re-skimming techniques

– Feather-in for patch repairs

You will learn on-site, within our plastering workshop.

While we make every endeavour to run programmes as advertised, we reserve the right to cancel those which do not enrol sufficient numbers to make them viable.

All materials will be included in the cost you pay.

Please note that you are likely to get messy, so consider wearing appropriate clothing.  You will be working within a practical environment so safety shoes must be worn in the workshop at all times.  

There are no assessment criteria – just observe, have a go and enjoy!
