A good tip is to do the plastering before the floor finish is installed, if this is not possible though that roll and stroll floor protector is good stuff I find.

Not really, if u are a good plasterer u don't splash loads of water about and the amount of pink on the floor is minimal.
Messy plasterers give us clean ones a bad name!

I thought I was a clean plasterer:lol:, water on a polythene surface tho Deri is slippy, don't matter how clean you work, there's always some kinda spillage.

For sure it is, but if it's damage limitation we are talking about anything that will have a chance of staining the floor ie gypsum and dirty water it won't go through polythene. I'm happy using it even on stilts doing ceilings

the best plasterer I've used made his apprentice put the roll and stoll type stuff all over the work and mixing areas. Came in Monday and found it absolutley spotless, even the window frames were washed

On the other foot, I did a slate floor and put the same stuff on the floor before the kitchen fitters came in. peeled it off after completion and looked the business
