We have a migration agent helping us out (John at asc migration in Joondalup). We are getting to the stage where our paperwork and evidence is getting ready to submit. I am just after a bit of info regarding work really and hope somebody can answer some questions. What us the average income of a plasterer in Perth? What's the difference between the products used over there compare to here in the UK?

ivanoo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 plastering is divided into two trades. solid wall and fibrous plastering. solid wall plasterers work mainly rendering and skimming and fiborous plasterers mostly fix ceiling boards and flush like dry lining in UK. I'm a plasterer and very rarely touch a ceiling as this is normally done by dry liners only. only skim the odd concrete ceiling maybe once a year. products out here are very old fashioned. 95% of internals are float and set. with cement and lime. no hardwall or multi finish out here mate. proper graft I'm afraid as lots of rendering etc. skim is lime putty and a ball ache.

plasterernick Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's spot on mate just what I needed to know I do a lot of renovation work here in England so have used alot of the lime based plaster and cement render so it sounds good to me. I can live with just doing walls and maybe the odd ceiling here and there haha Where shouts are you based ivanoo? Thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
