Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Perfect Plastering Finish
Q: What would Andy call the perfect finish to work with?
Andy Hamilton prefers a clean, matte, not overly polished surface. He expects to fill small dents or hairline cracks, and says minor imperfections can often be handled through preparation.
The Perfect Plastering Finish
Q: From a Tiler's perspective, what is the ideal finish?
Chris White prefers a completely level ceiling and, where plaster will be tiled, a flat surface that is slightly rough enough to provide a mechanical key. Flatness matters more than a smooth-looking finish.
How to Become an Award-Winning Tradesperson
Q: What would be your advice to anyone wanting to enter and not sure how to put together an award-winning entry?
Mahoney recommends consistently putting in hard work and showing it over time, since sustained effort is more memorable than one standout week.
How to Become an Award-Winning Tradesperson
Q: Todd, how do you know when you're ready to enter for awards?
Glister says confidence builds through consistently good work, satisfied customers and positive recognition from other tradespeople, including on social media.
Handling Callbacks, Snags, Disputes and Difficult Customers
Q: How should a plasterer handle a difficult customer who will not accept an explanation?
Ashley Johnson says to assess the issue carefully, stay firm when the work is sound, and be willing to decline the job if no reasonable agreement is possible. Photos and videos can help show the preparation involved.
