Usually you would lightly stipple ceiling before doing a circular pattern.
Artex and other textured coatings can contain small amounts of asbestos, but the fibres are well bonded and not easily released. As artex is often found on ceilings it is not easily damaged in building occupation, and providing the artex is not damaged you are not at risk.
always remove artex using water and wear a mask.. don't breath the dust..
In the nick of time - your video, that is! Three days ago my dining room ceiling leaked leaving a hole . Ive decided to try and repair it myself after watching your (as always) precise explanation (but no Artex required thank goodness). A woman's job is never done - thank goodness for your oh so helpful videos! PS Yes, I did get a plumber to source the leak but have a rather large insurance excess so will try the diy. .
Thank you. Hope it goes well..
That was amazing
You both take such pride in your work
thanks for all the tips and knowledge your passing on
Thank you..
Fantastic repair, I am surprised that you got the new artex to match the existing without fail. Also good of you to seal around the edges with expanding foam too as that really does help minimise potential movement but for belt and braces I advise to use scrim tape to stop any future cracks but other then that I am really pleased with how satisfying the result turned out, gotta show us when you have painted it!
Thank you.. and will be doing a video on painting new artex..
Outstanding! Not always easy blending to the original artex pattern! Well done mate
Thank you..
Not sure I like the idea of some of the ceiling containing asbestos and the rest not. What if someone in future tests it in the new area and concludes the whole lot is asbestos-free?
I enjoy watching your videos.. you make it look so easy for the rest of us.👍🏼
Thank you.
Absolutely top class work!
Thank you. just about to upload a video..
Nicely done my friend.
Thank you.
Thanks for video I was used Gyproc Easifill 60 Filler good result !
Very well done 😃👍🏾
Thank you.
I was waiting @ the end for the ceiling to pop down on the corner again!, 😱😂 good repair though 👍🏻
Lol.. yep.. that's one reason I foamed around the edge.. thanks for watching.. 👍
Nice Job!
I come across these type of jobs quite often and usually try to avoid them, as they are a bit of a hassle, but actually, they can end up being quite satisfying!
That's a great job you did there and I look forward to seeing it painted! 👍
Thank you... yes totally agree can be very difficult matching up artex...
WOW! that is a fantastic match!! cant believe how much maintenance/repairs there is to your trade, you defo have to be skilled in many trades for your profession.... I kept expecting more of the ceiling to fall away when you were chipping away at the square!!! but thats what makes you the true craftsman expert & me the enthusiastic diyer!! BUT am learning sooooo much from you like cleaning the tube of the foam out after using so can use again (Love that foam been repairing my skirting boards with it at the mo as per your advice/video) Looking forward to your next video TFS stay safe
Thank you.. its great we can help.. nice to have a crack free house. Stay safe..
I used easyfill for patching. Sets quick and don't shrink back like artex showing background bumps. I would follow pattern line around edge smoothing off with blade. S shape. Then sponge clean following original pattern line. New mix to pattern onto original pattern ceiling and sponge around swirls cleansing off. Can't see pattern edge join especially with patterns like swirl as there is a something to follow. Shame there is no call for work like this now.. After 25 years artexing work disappeared.
Spot on match.
Thank you.
Lovely job.
Thank you..
A good informative presentation , lucky it was not a lath and plaster ceiling , it may have been a different story , maybe you could let us know how you would carry this out-if you had the time
Thank you.. if its lath and plaster then you need to plaster first then finish with artex.. this ceiling had plasterboard put over the old lath and plaster to speed up a job.. I had to fix what had already beeb done..
Top job again mate 👍
Thank you..
Thank you
Your welcome..
Asbestos?
Not too bad at all that 👍
Thank you..
Nice job, them edges need scrimmin in though or they will just crack in the very near future, also needs a scrim down that board joint
Thanks. Foam does not crack scrim can tear overtime if movement in the boards..
@@PaintingandDecorating scrim won't tear if it's put on the joints properly, I meant scrim where the new board meets the 2 original boards on the ceiling not the ceiling edge up to the wall, and the new board joints. Really nice job though. As a plasterer I have done a few repairs but usually just price to scrape pva and overskim them or even overboard and skim. Artex and artex repairs are definately a Dying art.
@@danielmills4898 thanks.. just have found foam to be better for what we do. Some cracks we come across .. scrim has been used and movement overtime has made it tear.. do agree no movement and scrim is perfectly fine..
Not an easy task at all trying to patch artex my friend , I’m sure you’ll have had a nice cool beer later on in the evening after that ... Great job as usual 👏🏻
Thanks.
top work happy Easter man
Thanks.. Happy Easter.. 😊
Brilliant Job!, Thanks for sharing buddy. Looking forward to the painting.
Any advice for doing the Stipple effect ?? cheers
Thank you. Thin even coat of artex and load the stippler with artex before you start.. otherwise you can just pull the artex off..
hello sir, I do not understand English but I watch your videos, the pva I notice you put it often but what is it? thank you for your sharing and knowledge of the know-how that happiness in your life
Brilliant geezer! This is the exact job I have to do, any tips for holding up big plasterboard by myself while screwin into joists welcome
Thank you... usually they use a lift type apparatus.. like a jack.. but never put up large pieces on my own..
Thanks, that was what i was thinking. Probably cut it into small sections I can fit single handed
Nooice!!
Thanks.
Thanks, you mentioned earlier in the video that do not use waterproof (SBR?) PVA for decorating, I happen to have just SBR pva now, do I have to buy a different one for decorating task, what would happen if I use the SBR instead, would it fail?
Hi I’m just starting out in my own business, can you give me some help on how you charge, do you break down the jobs and quote for each, or per room. Or do you charge by the day or hour.
Thanks, my work is estimated.... generally I know how long it takes to paint different things... so add it all together and also being very quick at what you do.... you can put a fair price in... and always win..
👍👍👍
Thanks
Did you forget that your supposed to tape the joins ?Those joins into the existing will crack for sure 🤦🏼♂️
No need using foam . All in one
i realise this is 2 years old, but im new to this, and have a ceiling with this problem. how did you find the studs in the ceiling? i need to cut out a square, not sure how to cut it so it fits the joists.
Just wondered why you never scrim taped joints. to avoid future cracking especially if it's a bedroom as if some one stands in the loft it will crack
Foam is very strong and acts like a shock absorber.. tape is not flexible and can crack over time if any movement.
Can’t believe you guys not got a hand stapler 😀
We do... just bloody forgot to stipple first but you still use a sponge left in the bag.. have stippled ceilings using my stippler...
Just wondering does the expanding foam eliminate the need for Skrim tape
Yes the foam gives it structure... thanks
Thanks a lot
Is that a drill in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me 🤔
Did you get the old artex tested for asbestos? I really hate artex, both the look of it and doing it but you made a brilliant job of the repair.
Thanks.. never heard of artex having asbestos in it.. its not on building forums and no mention of it in the wider building industry... if it has it will be white and not blue... blue is the dangerous one...
@@PaintingandDecorating I'm surprised you are not aware that until the mid 1980s artex had white asbestos added to it to add strength. When I have done asbestos awareness courses it is always been taught that any pre 1980s to assume it may well contain asbestos.
@@PaintingandDecorating all asbestos is deemed harmful and contributes to potentially developing asbestosis
@@PaintingandDecorating in the early 80s when I started , artex definitely had asbestos in it , it’s just that it wasn’t common knowledge . Then in the 90s , artex introduced there artex ax product with the words “asbestos free” in big letters on the front of the 25kg packs. . I always wondered what the little silver shiny bits were in it when mixing it up!. The times I’ve walked into a house and the customer is hacking away or trying to sand down the old artex is unbelievable . I warn them not to disturb it and just get it plaster skimmed . I often wonder if my breathing difficulties is a result of using the stuff.
@@marcuschambers62 blue asbestos is the bad one... my uncle died with asbestosis... from cutting pipe lagging... if it was on people's ceilings that would be highly dangerous and a public outrage ... but you never here it mentioned on the news. At college was never warned and have never heard of it in the industry.. not sure where you get this information from.
So would you pva to seal this before painting? Or a mist coat?
You need one of those electrical multi tools
May be but if you have a POWER CUT.... then you need to know how to do it... slow and steady not cut through wires before you know it or pipes.. do admit them multi tool jobbies... not bad for extremely difficult jobs..
@@PaintingandDecorating fair enough I see what you're saying
cant make my mind up whos vids I enjoy the most you are your fella, lollll. good stuff. can I ask where can I buy online the same drop sheets as you brothers I keep ordering crap?
Thanks... not sure as we get them from the Dulux center.. they may sell them online.. Cotton twill... best after they have been washed..
have to say I spent extra on the heavy canvas type my problem with these is they are very heavy and a struggle to get them where you want!! without even talking bloody doors.@@PaintingandDecorating
I suppose I'm looking for something lighter that doesn't look like a fisherman's net and will give me confidence it can be trusted
@@2010gtoner I do have some water proof canvas ones.. I use them on top where I mix paint or filler.. the ones that look like nets... they need to be washed which tightens them up.. plus we always double sheet.. if you spill paint you have time to rap the top sheet up.. thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating yep I know my friend I double up to. I guess my frustration is that you cant get good beny sheets that will stay so you don't end up on your arse? when they slip ect.
Is there a link for the white overalls.im a painter
Sorry no.. these are from the Dulux center.. Good overalls..
@@mrg2384 need the pouch me.. can not fit enough tools in pants.. I like to have everything at had when I'm working.. less time spent going looking for your tools. Would rather get the job done quicker... plus a painter and decorator does not look the part in pants..
Nice work as usual. Any reason you didn't scrim the new board joints?
Thank you... I just find the foam does the job..
@@PaintingandDecorating It is magic isn't it? 😉 So many uses.
Didn't have time to watch the whole vid but did you not put scrim tape over the joins ?
That will crack in no time if so.
Foamed around the edge so won't be a problem.. the reason I don't use scrim.. is because I come across it a lot cracked if any movement in the boards.. so it does not last.. thanks
Did you paint the plasterboard for a reason or was it just some spare painted plasterboard?
The plasterboard was sealed first just to stop the absorption. Thanks
Little tip for you, wet the area around the patch your working on so the artex that your applying doesn’t stick to the old artex on the ceiling. Blends in a lot better to 👌
Lol.. the jobs fine mate..
@@PaintingandDecorating Lol.. He didn’t say the job wasn’t fine? Bit ignorant.
@@joshell2857 the reason I said its fine.. is because I belive he was wrong with what he said about wetting around the edge.. that will just makes the artex skid about... just goes as far as you need then wipe back if necessary
Do you guys do any fence or decking painting or is it all indoor work?
We will paint almost anything.. indoor and outdoor... work is work... thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating be good to see how you approach painting fence panels and sheds. Treatment or just slap on the paint
@@justintemp thanks will see what we can do..
If you don't me asking' how much would l pay for that if l was the customer
Sorry no prices.
Why do you not use a gun for the foam
So much cheaper
Good vids
Thanks.. just find these so useful.
Not being funny m8 but thats a hard way of doin it.. use a multi tool
One of the best repairs I've seen, as for all the coms blue is the danger one and it's not as if he wasn't wearing a mask plus he don't do it day in day out, real world guys who is going to tell customer hold on luv I have to send this chip off to get tested just take a few weeks and oh by the way it's going to cost ya big time, they tell u to fuk off
Thanks.. Artex and other textured coatings can contain small amounts of asbestos, but the fibres are well bonded and not easily released. As artex is often found on ceilings it is not easily damaged in building occupation, and providing the artex is not damaged you are not at risk. We remove artex wearing a mask and using water.. like you say no problem... thanks
