We at the Plasterers Forum believe in providing services free of charge to every single member. Not only do we provide a Find a Plasterer directory which potential customers use to find plasterers, we also provide free search engine optimisation services for any regular plasterers forum member.
What is search engine optimisation, and do I need it?
When you search the internet for a professional plasterer, you’ll use a search engine to carry out the task of finding one for you. Most likely Google, but also Bing, Yahoo, or one of many others. If you own a website, you need to consider Search Engine Optimisation as one of the key factors in marketing it. If you printed 10,000 leaflets, would you not deliver them? If you own a website and it isn’t listed on the first page of Google when you search for “plasterer in xxxxx” (xxxxx being your area) then you haven’t delivered your website to your potential customers!
Other internet forums for plasterers charge you for this service, we however, do not.
We think that that getting our forum members online, with business actually coming in from their website, is far too an important point to charge for. So yes, we do it all for free!
We will optimise your plastering website free of charge!
Can we do it?
Sure. We’ve done it for hundreds of tilers, plasterers, painters and decorators, electricians, plumbers, building contractors, and many other trades.
Why is it free?
If you’re a contributor to one of our many forums we’ll optimise your website free of charge (whether purchased from one of our approved suppliers that provide exclusive discount to our members, or some other firm), with no strings attached. We literately want you to gain business via us, so you stick with us. The busier our websites are, the better the deals are from our suppliers.
Join us, we think you’ll find it’s a refreshing change.
We’ve got friends! Oh yes, checkout the Talk ElectricianForum.

How to plaster a wall, with Ron the builder. A nice chap who likes his tea as much as the next man.
An interesting Plasterers video found on YouTube.
When considering whether to plaster walls after boarding out with plasterboard ready to be tiled, consider the weight issues involved, which is something many plasterers forget to consider.
A studded or dot-and-dabbed plasterboard wall can carry 32kg’s per square meter of tiles, tile adhesive, and grout (it all adds up, especially given the fact that tiles that are old and being replaced these days are more likely to be replaced by heavier large format tiles such as porcelain, stone, marble, etc.
Although 32kg’s sounds a lot, it isn’t. But although it isn’t a lot, what’s worse is the fact the skimmed plaster on top of plasterboard reduces the 32kg per square meter weight limit to just a measly 20kg’s per square meter!
As a plasterer, knowing the way the current market it going when it comes to tiles, and tiling onto plaster or plasterboard, this information is a must.

Thanks for visiting the Plasterers Forum blog. You may want to head straight over to the Plasterers Forum though for the time being while we slap up some content on this place for you to read.
