Thankyou for a top job kirk. The new kitchen is being fitted this coming week. As soon as it's in then we will be in touch for the dining room.
I just saw a video where you did the job free, we were wondering why you didn't do ours free 😂kidding, Great job, top lad.
Be in touch soon
Hope you enjoyed the video mate 😀👍
Just seeing Ur AD - normally I skip those but you presented Ur grooming materials in such a way that I was captivated!
Haha, I hate ads so I tried to make it as fun as possible mate
I'm a decorator and occasionally come across this. Great to get the expert advice.👍
Glad it was helpful!
Another job done by the big man. 👍🏻🏴
been in the trade as a general builder and joiner for 14 years now, and always having to patch plaster on jobs too small to call in a plasterer. ive never really got to grips with it despite trying and trying.
your videos have helped massively. really appreciate it 🤝
back in the day we were a 3/1 gang and we tested a lot of the plasters you use today. BG use to pay us for reports on their new products which included hardwall and multi finish. the multi was shocking on plasterboard and you couldn't trowel it up ( long before plastic trowels) The hard wall wouldn't bind to concrete lintels and sheered off. we used to use plaster mixing machines called "jodi mixers" which looked like a wheely bin but could mix continuously all day long. You just poured it in dry at the back and mechanical paddles mixed it with water and poured it on our mega spot board. We could put 80 bags through in a morning and turn round and skim it in the afternoon. we were proper price work bandits. we used to mix 4 bags of multi in a black bin with one bag of carlite finish to hold it back which gave you another hour on the troweling up. we had to keep an eye on the clerk of works (don't think they have them anymore) who would get you thrown off site if they caught you but back in the days of £2.90 float and skim it was needed to make money so guess we were path finders for you guys :)
Perfect as usual clippers look good too
Great job, Kirk 😊👍
Absolutely top lad genuine old school man
Always a pleasure to watch your videos buddy 🤗
Glad you like them!
Been watching loads of your older vids recently. its clear to see your filmography and story telling through video has improved massively. Enjoyed hearing the random conversations from your labourer and liked the video segments on preparing trowel/filling water etc. - almost hinting at ASMR. Good advice and explanation of method as always!
We're all here for your personality mainly though lets be honest.... watching you is like watching Santa clause (if he was a plasterer) before he got a big grey beard and ate all the pies🤣🤣. I mean that in the best way, you have a big heart! Great content 👌
I'm made up someone noticed.
I'm trying my best to get better at editing. It's not easy but I'm trying
@@Onthetrowel Yep storytelling is a skill in itself. Cutaway shots are priceless when you are editing afterwards.
The cut away shots is what I'm going to work alot morenon now mate
Nice work Kirk
You're the "Master"
Top quality ad for Manscaped 🔥
I stopped plastering 15 years ago still watch the channel and still working as something else, no internet when I started, this would have been a great source of info had there been
Fair dues ,always well explained why things need to be done and what to do if it's going wrong at certain stages. The tips and tricks is a nice touch to make the job go smoother. Would be interesting to get your dad on camera to talk about days gone by how he started and what he thinks of the modern way of doing things.
Very well explained. Great video on how its done properly 👍
Absolute masterpiece 👌🏼
Fantastic job, I've learned a lot from your videos that I never knew before 👍
What you dnt know about plastering isn't worth knowing mate your the best about
Top job as always 🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
another good job
Hey mate grate vid as always I'm back on the trowel feeling 💯 keep the vids coming mate
Great content my bedroom ceiling collapsed the other night slats the lot given me food for thought on how it can be repaired although it looks a little daunting ....the house is nearly 200 year's old . You've achieved a great finish on the job 👍.
Lovely job and a great video.
Thanks paul and tgankyou for supporting my channel for so long mate 🙏
Another banging video mate. Id love to see you do a video on internal float and set, and hear some of your invaluable and easy to understand commentary’s and tips and tricks regarding it.
Coming soon!
Top video kirk, glad to see the big brand sponsors coming in, well deserved mate great plasterer and a even better bloke.
Your a gentleman, cheers mate
Hi mate - brilliant video. Filmed and edited like a pro! It is timely too... I am just about to repair a hole in the lathe + plaster ceiling of my old bathroom - where a pipe came from above. It is only about 6 inches square. Is it the same technique or can I just whack in some Easifill?
Your just amazing mate!!
Class bud 👌💪🏻🔥
Fantastic video kirky top man 💙
Back in the day when i was a Apprentice, The Old Boys used to Call me (Spider Man) I left Holes in the corners for 🕷️ to set up home 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Haha somebody I know called his company 4corners because he could never get plaster in them lol
absolute craftsmanship, fantastic job again Kirk
Anthor good video and top work mate 🧱 👌
Class m8
Cheers J mate
Love the video s you did a story on my story a year ago now you have 54k subscribers can you do another on how much you own
Cheers
The plasterer who taught me said if you can patch to high standard that's harder than skimming a full wall, we would not do patches like on this video, but as long you can't tell when it's painted doesn't matter how's it done
Love the videos
Thankyou
LOL 17:17 is funny! Oh I wish you worked in London - so many dodgy plasterers down here, I don't know what to do :( recommendations welcome!
Sponsors now as well mate? Nice one
It really helps me out mate to make the videos
Kirk you do great work but surprised how little dust sheets or coverings you use.
A stiff brush dragged over bonding gives an adequate key without to much fuss.
Why bother whn he's just sed thrs no need 🤔
@@darrencarwardine3230 belt and braces. Seen delamination due to lack of key .
Quick question, what size hawk do you recommend using? Never seem to get much mention on plastering videos.
Kirk, ive been plastering for forty years. I always cover up any furniture, worktops, carpets and anywhere i walk. I didn't see a dust sheet on the cupboards. Dont you get your ear bent by the customer for not covering up?
Not if it's been damaged by the water and is being replaced mate no.
That said, most jobs I don't really drop much so it's quicker for me to wipe the odd plop up rather than sheet everything.
You usually find that sheets make more dust if they have been used.
So you end up thinking, do I buy new sheets every job and cost more.
Where can you shake them off that doesn't upset anyone. Who will wash them without breaking the wash mashine.
So it all depends on the job for me. If it's a carpet that's staying then I'll sheet it up but like I said I don't hardly drop anything mate
czcams.com/users/shortsZv5VBvNJKBE?feature=share
Sheet up and protect everything!
Any little dings or scrapes on that cooker hood will 💯 show up afterwards. Plastering should be mainly prep work and cleaning. You can do the best job in the world and leave a mess or cause damage and thats all the customer will remember.
Kitchen was being replaced
Fair comment. 👍
I wasn't knocking Kirk at all, he's one of the best you can get 👌 . I was just picking up on something that I spotted and speaking from previous experience.
Another top job 👌
Great guy, great plasterer. But interesting fact, gypsum was a byproduct from coal combustion processes. Instead of throwing it away they sold it as a material to put on your wall.
Yer need to come over from the dark side mate and use clay and lime plasters, gypsum is suited for ornamental work like a Pharaohs sarcophagus not a home that living people inhabit
Can you make a video on how to repair ceiling cracks where the plasterboards meet please.
Not every plasterer has the common sense and skill to do this.
Ive worked with some right numpties
I'm a DIY'er and just started learning to plaster. Would you recommend the Speedskim / Refina X-skim for skimming over Artex on an old ceiling to help with my inexperience. Do i need bonding before multi-finish over Artex?
Not necessarily, just depends how thick the artex is.
It might be easier to overboard it
@@Onthetrowel thanks for taking the time to reply Kirk
Hi Kirk, have you ever plastered a no fines concrete wall? The interior has never been rendered so it's just a load of bonded stones. :/
Given the ceiling is so old would you have preferred to remove the whole ceiling?
Would of been better but they didn't want it unfortunately
@@Onthetrowel reminded me of my first plasterer job where I virtually bullied the customer into having all the ceiling done as one of my colleagues said it was very old plaster and "not safe". Lady was a broke nurse so I said I'd do the whole thing for only a small percentage more! Unfortunately when I took the old (asbestos?) plaster away it revealed joists destroyed by woodworm! So three days extra work for a pittance!
Skimming over bonding (or hardwall) I seem to get lots of big bubbles in the multi finish. Am I leaving it too long to skim?
hi Kirk im starting out as a plasterer getting some private jobs in, was wondering if you have any tips on dealing with radiators. what do use to avoid plastering over the bracket holes? also any tips for plastering bull nose corners? i understand your very busy any tips would be very well appreciated, cheers Kirk keep going mate love the vids.
Hi buddy, you can use something called plaster spots. You peel them off like a sticker, put them where you need the mark and they will bleed through the top coat, showing you where the hole is. Some people break a match stick and skim over them, they dry out a bit and you can see roughly where they are. I use a tape , up from the floor and off of fixed point (architrave or whatever) and scribble the measured points down, always find the screw hole that way personally.
@@jonfred78those spots have disappeared online. I had a pack a couple of years until my van got stolen, haven’t been able to find them since
Did u finish your bathroom?
Where’s your dust sheets
Great job though
wonder how much something like this would cost ? labour only
What was that brush you wiped down your trowel with Kirky boy?
It'd a refina hybrid my mate
@@Onthetrowel nice1 I’ll look into it
Looks good
Are you sponsored by refina now? 🤣Full rig out from them. Marshaltown won't be happy 😉😉
Let's get the flock outta here lol .. remember that from someone else
I can’t believe you never covered the kitchen units & cooker,( 5 years serving my time as apprentice plasterer) now 72 years old, ,any plasterer that I new would never use that term skim coat ,
They obv did cover the hob and worktops as they're spotless near end of vid. And it's up to the owners to cover their own items and kitchen units
@@2icelollys1goat watch the video again, he is seen cutting down the old plaster over the uncovered units
Well, the homeowner leaving EVERYTHING where it was in the room, not even putting dust sheets over anything is just bone idleness. Was also waiting to see you manscape ya nuts! Oh well, life is full of disappointments Kirk.
No drop sheets on range.lazy.?
It's all coming out pal
Oh FFS! TAKE THE NIGHT OFF KIRK! THE FIGHTS ON!!
🤣🤣🤣 I'm not literally filming this now
Who u guys got tonight fury or usyk ?
Fury
@@Onthetrowel Good to know. Get the beers in.
Your tool belt is on backwards
