Lottie Durrant is a talented female plasterer who, at just 20 years old, runs her own highly successful plastering business. Her journey into the world of plastering began unexpectedly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Back in 2002, after leaving school, I started a part-time college course in sports therapy, health, and fitness. My dream was to become a personal trainer because of my love for exercise. However, my parents insisted that I find a job on my days off. So, I began labouring for the building firm where my dad worked.
My passion for plastering began five years ago when I learned the trade from my dad. From the moment I picked up a trowel, I knew this was more than just a job—it was a craft. There’s something incredibly rewarding about transforming walls, achieving flawless finishes, and knowing my work will stand the test of time.
If you’d asked me three years ago where id like to be when I’m eighteen, I would never have said being a builder; but here I am!
Mary works along with her father and brother at the family business Plaster Mouldings Direct, their journey spans over three decades of passionate work producing and installing top-quality plaster, stone, and specialty mouldings.
