British Gypsum is calling on experienced plasterers across the UK to join its Certified Plasterers Scheme, which helps put homeowners in contact with reputable plasterers, following a successful trial in Nottinghamshire.
To qualify, applicants must have experience in domestic plastering, excellent customer service skills, and must be able to demonstrate their skills on site and with references. British Gypsum will assess all applications before accepting plasterers onto the Scheme.
Certified Plasterers will be able to use the British Gypsum logo on their marketing materials and their details will be added to the Find a Plasterer database. The database matches plasterers with homeowners looking for reputable tradespeople and offers customers peace of mind through a British Gypsum two year workmanship guarantee.
To celebrate launching the scheme nationally, British Gypsum is offering free membership for a year to the first 100 plasterers that join up.
Paul Cassidy, Product Marketing Manager at British Gypsum, explained: “We know that reputation is really important for tradespeople when it comes to finding work. That’s why we’ve launched the Certified Plasterers Scheme, to give plasterers a way of demonstrating their expertise through a certification that homeowners can recognise and trust.”
If you are interested in being part of the Scheme, please contact British Gypsum on 0115 784 2354.

The Dry Lining & Plastering Training Forum (DLPTF) support this scheme and hope it becomes an industry standard requirement for the sector.
Its what the industry needs for sure
I’m Tony From TPS. Plastering services in West Mersea in Colchester https://m.facebook.com/TPS.plastering4U/.
Can we join for free ?
Give them a call 😀
This is all well and good providing potential plasterers hold a minimum nvq at level 2 as this is the standard to which you can apply for a blue skilled worker cscs card.my gut feeling is this is another way of taking more “membership”money from a tradesmen and women.
You don’t need CSCS for domestic ,work ,mike british gypsum certified ,NVQ 3
Another money making scheme after serving a 5 year apprentiship in the 1960s had to pay £800.00 to get a nvq level 2 to get Cscs card at the age of 60 on site accessment
That everybody passes all these company’s are making a fortune
bang on another scheme to erode your wages
Maybe it’s time to quit plastering and start one of these Get-rich-quick schemes
Great idea it will keep the price of jobs were they should be, not the price of a cowboy. How do I register?
What about taping and jointing
Domestic houses don’t have tape and jointing usually ,that’s why it’s call certified plasterers scheme
