Some photos from our first joinery course. I was too busy to get some action photos!

This course included:

Fitting the door frame

Fitting the door including the hinges, latch and handles

Measuring, cutting and fitting the architraves

Fitting skirting boards including scribing the internal joint, scribing the skirting boards to the uneven floor and bisecting the angle on the external mitre and cutting the angles.

That’s a lot of content for a two day course!!

On top of that I did a short tutorial on how to do a dado (groove if you’re not being fancy) cut with a router for one of the course goers.

More courses, more people, same result.I don’t really need to say much, the photos speak for themselves!!

Sorry for the lack of updates, we’ve been very busy over the last few weeks!

As you can see from the photos we are getting some very good results and to date we haven’t had anybody who has not been able to produce an acceptable finish (as a minimum) by the end of their second day! As for those who have completed the four day course, everybody has been able to produce a finish which is paintable without the need for any filling or sanding.

We don’t just teach you how to get a good finish to your walls and ceilings we teach you how to do it right! First and foremost we teach you how to get your walls and ceilings flat, nice neat flat corners and flat neat bottoms to your walls.

Our courses are very much tailored to the individual, we don’t just run the same course every week, everybody learns at different speeds so we will make sure you are challenged without struggling, whether that be by gaining confidence on basic flat walls and ceilings or moving on to larger walls or smaller more intricate areas to test your trowel control and technique.

If you are hesitant to book a course because you think you may find it too difficult, we will make sure you don’t. If you already have some plastering skills and think the courses may be too easy? We always have something up our sleeve that will challenge you and progress your skills!

Halloween is over, that means Christmas is on the horizon! And we've got just the gift for the avid DIY-er in your life.

With the cost of living crisis looming, cost of materials reaching all time highs and tradespeople harder than ever to locate now is the PERFECT time to learn how to Do It Yourself.

Suitable for absolute beginners to those who have dabbled, our very experienced tradesmen can adapt the course to suit all abilities. You might not be single handedly plastering the Sistine ceiling just yet, but by the time we've finished with you you'll be able to hold your own at home!

Upgrade to two and four day courses also available for a more in-depth introduction to boarding, skimming and all it entails.

PRICES
One day course: £100
Two day course: £190
Four day course: £360
