Job Description
Phone Direct is actively seeking a skilled and reliable Plasterer for a major, ongoing project in the heart of London W1. Our client, a respected building services maintenance and construction firm, requires experienced trade professionals to deliver high-quality internal plastering and finishing work across a portfolio of commercial refurbishments and high-end residential developments. This role represents an excellent opportunity to secure immediate, well-paid work with a company that values quality craftsmanship and professionalism. Phone Direct acts as the bridge between top-tier talent like yourself and London's busiest construction employers. We pride ourselves on understanding the local market, much like we do when connecting businesses with Our Services for their operational needs.
The successful candidate will be joining a dynamic site team, working on projects that require precision, speed, and an eye for detail. From preparing substrates and applying undercoats to creating flawless finishing coats, this role demands a comprehensive skill set. Whether you're a specialist in traditional solid plastering or an expert in modern dry lining systems, if you have proven experience and your own tools, we want to hear from you. This position is perfect for a Plasterer looking for flexible shifts, consistent weekly pay, and the potential for longer-term employment. At Phone Direct, we believe in matching the right person with the right role, a principle we apply across all sectors, from Customer Support roles to skilled trades.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare wall and ceiling surfaces by removing old plaster, applying bonding agents, and installing necessary beads and mesh for a perfect base.
- Mix plastering materials to the correct consistency and apply base coats (browning, bonding) and finishing coats (multi-finish, skim) to achieve smooth, level surfaces ready for decoration.
- Execute dry lining work, including installing plasterboard, taping, and jointing to a high standard.
- Work to technical drawings and specifications, ensuring all work meets building regulations and site-specific quality standards.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area, adhering to all site health and safety protocols, including proper use of PPE.
What We're Looking For
- Proven, hands-on experience as a Plasterer, with a portfolio or references demonstrating high-quality workmanship.
- Own full set of plastering tools (hawk, trowels, floats, mixing equipment) and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Strong understanding of different plastering materials, mixes, and application techniques for various substrates.
- A valid CSCS card (or willingness to obtain one immediately) and a proactive, reliable attitude with excellent timekeeping.
Salary & Benefits
At Phone Direct, we negotiate strongly on behalf of our candidates to ensure you receive a pay package that reflects your skill and experience. For this Plasterer role in London W1, we offer a highly competitive hourly rate, paid weekly directly into your bank account. The exact rate is dependent on your level of experience, specialist skills, and the specific demands of the shift, but we guarantee it will be at or above the industry average for central London. In addition to your pay, you will benefit from:
- Weekly Pay: No waiting for monthly payrolls. Get paid every Friday for the work you've completed.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is calculated and added to your earnings.
- Ongoing Work & Variety: This is not a one-off assignment. We have a pipeline of projects in London W1 and surrounding postcodes, offering the potential for continuous work for reliable plasterers.
- Temp-to-Perm Pathway: Exceptional performance often leads to a direct offer from our client, providing long-term job security.
- Dedicated Consultant: You’ll have a single point of contact at Phone Direct who will manage your placements, timesheets, and any queries, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience.
We understand that a great role is about more than just pay. It's about being part of a professional operation where your skills are valued. Just as we provide Business Calls Answering Services to help companies run smoothly, we provide the support structure to help your career run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start after applying for this Plasterer job?
We pride ourselves on speed. For candidates with the right experience and documents (CSCS, references) ready, we can often arrange a same-day or next-day site induction and start. The process involves a quick phone screening with one of our consultants, much like the efficient service we provide through our Answer Calls solution for businesses.
Do I need my own tools for this London W1 plastering role?
Yes. This is a key requirement. You are expected to provide your own basic plastering toolkit, including hawk, trowels, floats, mixing equipment, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The client will supply all bulk materials like plaster, beads, and plasterboard.
What kind of projects will I be working on in London W1?
Our client's portfolio is diverse, covering high-end residential apartments, boutique hotel refurbishments, office fit-outs, and restaurant developments in the W1 postcode. The work typically involves creating perfect internal walls and ceilings in premium properties, demanding a high standard of finish.
Is there the potential for permanent work after the temporary assignment?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary placements, especially for skilled trades like plastering, are temp-to-perm. If you demonstrate reliability, skill, and a good fit with the team, our client is very likely to offer a direct, permanent contract. We facilitate this transition smoothly, just as we help businesses find permanent talent through our broader recruitment services.
What support does Phone Direct offer once I'm on site?
Your dedicated consultant is your main point of contact. They will handle your weekly timesheet approvals, answer any pay queries, and be available to resolve any issues that may arise. We ensure you are paid correctly and on time, every week, and act as your advocate with the client.
Can I apply if I have plastering experience but no formal CSCS card?
A valid CSCS card is a mandatory requirement for most London construction sites, including this one. However, if you have the experience, we can often advise you on the quickest route to obtain one. In some urgent cases, we may be able to place you on a site that accepts a temporary card or specific alternative certification, but the CSCS is the industry standard.
