    “You don’t apply to be a Master Plasterer — you prove it.”

    Send us Fan Mail This week on The Plasterers Podcast — The Mick & Dave Show, we’re talking about the Master Plasterers Award and what it really means to earn it. This isn’t about certificates handed out for turning up — this is about recognition that’s built over years on the tools. Mick and Dave break down what the award represents, the standards behind it, and the level of skill, consistency, and experience needed to reach that level in the trade. They share their own journeys, what separates a good plasterer from a master, and why respect in this game is earned — not given. There’s real talk about graft, pride in your work, and the responsibility that comes with being recognised at the top of your trade. No shortcuts. No handouts. Just proper plastering at the highest level. Support the show This Podcast is brought to you from Lath and Plaster – A Trade Magazine for The Plastering Industry Run by Plasterers for Plasterers
