Developed in 2018, the BeadMaster^™ family of products for electricians and plasterers was introduced to make installation of switches, sockets and spotlights easier and more efficient, saving on time and cost, whilst improving trade relationships and providing a superior finish.

Having started as a trade professional in plastering and transferring his skills to become an electrician, Pete Carter, the inventor of the BeadMaster^™ range, is fully aware of the challenges and implications both trades face including:

• Plaster getting inside sockets, switches and spotlights.
• Other trades moving or disturbing cable positions making them difficult to find and potentially damaging them.
• Plastering over cables causing friction with the electrician.
• Cutting random holes in plasterboard or through freshly applied plaster to find missing cables.
• Making good damaged plaster around sockets, switches and spotlights requiring return visits with availability implications.
• Safety issues due to live wires and lack of awareness of cable positions.

As trades jostle over one another to complete work, these problems often lead to conflict, particularly between electricians and plasterers. This is why Pete decided to do something about it, inventing a solution to calm the way and bridge gaps.
