The Mick & Dave Show — With Voice from the Plastering Trade

The Plasterers Podcast — The Mick & Dave Show is the voices of the plastering trade, bringing together the people, stories, and skills that shape one of Britain’s oldest and most respected crafts. Hosted by experienced tradesmen David Winchester and Michael Hargreaves, the show goes beyond the surface of plastering to explore the real lives behind the trowel — from apprentices starting their journey to master plasterers preserving historic buildings. Each episode features honest conversations with industry leaders, heritage specialists, educators, and working plasterers, covering everything from traditional lime and fibrous plasterwork to modern site practices, training routes, business challenges, and the future of the trade. Whether you are an apprentice, seasoned plasterer, construction professional, or simply passionate about skilled craftsmanship, this podcast offers practical insight, trade knowledge, and genuine stories from those who live and breathe the craft every day. As part of the wider Lath & Plaster community, The Mick & Dave Show plays a central role in promoting skills, preserving traditional techniques, and giving a voice to the people who keep the plastering trade alive across the United Kingdom and beyond.
