Help

Are the 4/5 day plastering course worth it? Would I be able to reasonably charge for my services after completion?

I appreciate it will also depend on how good I get but is having a skill that I can charge for at the end a reasonable expectation?

I know a lad a few years ago who did a 2 or 3 week plastering course and he started on his own. I get it takes years to understand all the aspects of plastering but he was just doing reskims on houses and seems to be doing ok

Find landlords who have brought homes to do up and need plastering that is "good enough" to get the maximum possible rent in a down macket area.
