Cavity closer? To prevent the plasterboard being cold on the back side where the cavity is....and causing a cold spot on the inside, leading to condensation and mould growth from the heat in the house. A thermal bridge via the open cavity.
OMG, Bodge-it & Run window fitters have been at it again! Kango'd inner blockwork given a good old shake to loosen all the mortar. Inadequate lintol bearing on broken blockwork with no padstones. No cavity closure. No vertical DPC. No insulation at closure. Used inappropriate lintol, with no built-in insulation, and which seems to be leaning over more than the sloping sides would normally as well as not being square in opening.
That's going to suffer all manner of cold bridging, with interstitial damp soaking into the plasterboard causing it to soften & fail. Plus bonding doesn't like damp areas. And the plaster at the top corners is likely to crack if the end bearings fail under load. But I guess the window fitters will be long gone before the householder realises it.
Anyway, in the circumstances, it's remarkable to have worked round all those problems & hidden all the window fitters' bodges with a nice finish in only 3½ hrs!
Another superb video, loads of information and relaxing to watch. That too wide inner opening is the result of not being able to use an angle grinder in an occupied house. There are dust catchers for angle grinders but nobody has made an affordable tool that will cut an opening in an 11 inch wall from the outside. I had a diamond chain saw that would do it but the chains were £200 so I am back to chain drilling down the wall to keep it on the line.

Festool do a nice 125mm angle grinder with a very good dust catching attachment. It's more suited for chasing but it will cut a nice straight reference edge and you could drill and chip the remaining brick or block. They only release a tiny amount of dust on the initial part of the plunge, thereafter no dust escapes.
You are a plethora of information. Techniques, mindset and dedication to work is first class. As a site manager and carpenter, having worked with an amazing amount of tradesperson over the years, I have picked up so much from watching and listen to you. Great work
Great work and the foam is a good idea but really the cavity needs closing with insulated cavity closers. The builders who constructed my house didn't use these and I have cold spots on EVERY window reveal, resulting in mould/ wallpaper curling off. Having to cut back plaster on all reveals in every room to remedy this - something I wish I knew before I decorated! Still, nice plastering - great of you to share.
Crazy!! This guy finished in few hours where Im already on my 3rd weekend!
As someone who does this day in day out it’s nice to see someone showing real life work for once. Nice vid mate
Thanks 👍
Board edge bead very handy for stuff like that just screw it onto the window frame slot your boards into it and stick the inside edge...
Top tip omar
Great channel, love your work, can I just add ,, if you added a couple of handfuls of cement into the adhesive mix it would of gone off in literally a quarter off the time, that way negates the need for the Bonding coat because your actually able to get a more than acceptable finish ready to plaster with the application of adhesive!
Cheers for the tip mate, I'll give that a go
As always, I'm in awe watching you work. Thank you for sharing!
I was working in a house this holiday and I saw something beautiful. instead of doing straight trim around the windows, the client did it on the sides at a 45-degree angle. Thanks to this, the window sill is longer more sunlight coming in and the whole thing looks nice.
Been a dryliner for 30 + years
Nice to see a proper plasterer giving
Helpful and the proper advice for people to watch
And gain the tips of the trade
Nice clean tidy work mate
Cheers Andy mate
That lintle is doing naff all 50mm purchase madness they would have had the 100 needed had they not butchered the blocks ha. Fair play tho defo polished a turd 👌
Attention to detail Spot on 👍
This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching all that. Great job and finish.
We tend to plaster full wall rather than spend time blending in. But great work big fella

Great videos! As an ex plasterer (now Operations Manager) I like the way you work. I would be a little worried about the baring on that internal lintel mind (not your issue I know).
I can't believe you managed to sort out that massive gap in one day. Incredible. Looking at that finish you would never guess what it looked like a few hours before. Really impressive job, thanks for sharing 👍🏿👍🏿
Another great video Kirk. Full of advice and tips in a real work setting. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Very welcome
Another great video. Everything is explained. Absolutely loving these videos!
Glad you like them!
Lovely stuff
Thanks for recommending the correct trowel for the job.
Absolute gold again mate. These real world vids are extremely helpful!
Glad you liked that mate, I've got tons more in the pipeline
My best channel at the min I'm a domestic plasterer of around 8 years and learning alot from you keep them coming
Great job!!!
Excellent job!!!!!!!
Fantastic tutorial 👍
Good to see how it works to fill up the gaps. I waiting 5 weeks for the guy who make the new windows one with my walls for my house in Hungary... he don't come, so I have to do it myself. Thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks Kirk, been watching this video a lot to help me do my first window boxing out, get yourself a Easter egg pal! Great videos and content. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you very much 🙏
For that job I used xps or plasterboard with xps and after that u don't have wet wall in winter
Excellent video. It's really nice to see a master at work, I simply love it, I raise my hat off to you , absolutely stunning work. Kind regards Danny
Super job.
Is that cavity around the window not getting filled out with insulation then? That will make the heat from the house escaping through there?
Wow fantastic work, great workmen ship.
Another great video mate. I don’t think there is anything wrong with reminding people to subscribe to your channel and give a thumbs up after all they are informative and some of them are funny.
Great job 👍
Very professional and well thought out cracking demonstration as always you make it look easy thanks for your time buddy 👍🏻👌James
What a great video, fantastic guy.wish everyone was this precise in there work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video!
great video kirk ! as a novice plasterer its good to see how we get past problems we will face !
Absolutely
Best plasterer on CZcams by far. Very clean work my friend 👌
Thankyou mate
Love these types of videos, not just your normal straight forward job, as a young plasterer new to the trade I find that it’s never a straight forward job like you see in plastering tutorials so please keep these coming, thanks mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Great video, I feel for you making good somebody else's shoddy work. I used to paint new houses and we were forever clearing up after plasterers 🤣🤣🤣
Favourite video so far. This was great, you never know what youre going to get in domestic situations, far more varied and complex compared to site. You not only showed the problems you need to overcome but gave a step by step guide. Thanks and I hope you do more of these!
I will mate cheers jeff
You have done a great job mate. I fitted windows for many years and can tell you your standard is great. Nice,nice workmanship. Make sure you charge enough for your workmanship.
Great video , what a finish in no time , hope the builder gave you a brucie bonus , sorting that mess out 👍
🤞
A bit of cement in your adhesive will make it set much quicker depending on the amount of cement used, I use this method to get the boards set before I start skimming
Great video, well explained 👏
Nice masterclass with top tips, beautiful!
Glad you liked it!
Really enjoyed that tutorial, brilliant explanation, thanks for sharing your knowledge, years of expertise in a short video. Top, top man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great content yet again kirk absolutely spot on with your advice 👌 keep them coming 👍
Thanks, will do!
Nice to see a plasterer taking time to get the reveals square, I’m the bloke who’d fit the sills! I’ve had reveals that have been anything up to 10mm out of square which means scribing, more time etc.Earned yourself a sub mate👍🏻
Great job
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on plastering, lots of excellent tips which are things you would only normally learn from experience.
I’m doing a garage conversion for myself after Easter so well chuffed to have watched this.
Sound job mate
Absolutely fantastic buddy. Lovely to see such real world examples like this.
Marcus is back, I was starting to wory about you pal
@@Onthetrowel Haha cheers buddy! I’m off for 2 weeks now, so I’ve been trying to get my sleep pattern in order. So sadly I got behind on my CZcams watching 😅
Great job.. thank..❤
Beautiful job mate
Still using inches your a man after my own heart 👍🏻
Brilliant Kirk, keep em coming👌You won't be the only one feeling a bit groggy this Friday morning🤣🍻
Hahaha got to wash down the dust 🙂
Used to work for a window company, we could of done with someone like yourself, great job, brilliant finish, I wouldn’t have thought this much building out was possible in that amount of time, I’ve learnt a lot from this vid, thank you 👍
Great work by you but the cut out of the new window opening was so poor and the bearing of the lintel to the wall doesn't comply with standard building practices.
Good job
Great job ! Some great tips as usual.
Glad you like them!
Last time I was doing that around my patio doors. I removed wood and sticked plasterboard instead, but I used only expanding foam as adhesive and blocked all boards with pieces of timber for time of seting.
I always pack the cavity with rockwool if u can't get a cavity closure in..... just helps stop cold spots.
Good shout Bill. Its something that I've mentioned in the past but you know how it goes. All they want me to do is get the plastering done nice but I do agree with you
@On the trowel 100% agree mate.... People ain't stumping up cash for things they'll never see...... another good vid by the way
Great tips true pro 👍
So happy i stumbled across your channel
Nice to have you on board mate
Great Job. I'm in a similar predicament so this video dropped at the perfect time ;)
Glad it was helpful!
I use edge beads around plasterboard where it meets the frame and it prevents any cracks around the reveals great video again
Nice Video, great detail thoroughly enjoyed.👍
Glad it was helpful!
I always prefer the grey bonding over the pink as it's much better to work with and cleans up easier as well 👍 For the more experienced plasterers you can always use some renderlite finish when mixing the bonding and it sets in about 10-15mins 😊
Top job👌👌
Great stuff Kirk.
Thanks 👍
As a ex plasterer (retired to go travelling around the world) you make me miss it. Really enjoy watching this mate.
One tip for you as a big guy is screw a piece of wood on your create so your foot doesn't go through.
Cheers mate and take care
I`m a window Installer that does this often. Sometimes I do the lot, sometimes I get a plasterer in, depending how busy I am. The only things I would suggest.... ?.Have a few oddments of skip dived kingspan on the van an wedge that in as a thermal break /cavity closer which also gives you more to foam /dab the board to. Also , if the lintel is flat and down level with the window, I would use a couple of self drilling drywall screws to fix board to the head. I know technically you shouldn`t drill lintels but hey! I normally skim the whole wall if it`s a small wall but to be fair , that`s because I`m not overly confident at blending, might give blending a go next time. Great tradesman though, loving these vids!
Enjoyed this one 👍
Glad to hear!
Putting yourself out there for criticism and or praise . Sharing knowledge . Fair play more strength to ya mate 👍.
Lovely job
Thank you! Cheers!
Good vid Kirk you’re lad must literally be amazed by your talent as am I👌
Thanks for the nice comment Steve
😂great double act and love watching you guys
Cheers Andy
Great vid as always and there's always some tips learned 👌
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it
There’s so many videos showing people plastering full walls with all the fittings removed and no holes. As a DIYer, I never get that opportunity and it’s all patching work so this video is great!!!
Glad it was helpful Neil
Nice one kirk, do quite a bit of patching myself. Well explained again and another quality video
Glad you enjoyed it Dale mate
Fantastic video as always.
What I like is that you cover real world scenarios, other CZcamsrs do tutorials on plastering a new wall….but everything is perfect, the prep is done and usually there are no sockets, rad brackets etc.
One point to make: there should be a DPC fitted - which goes vertically, it’s tucked into the cavity and comes across a bit of the window frame. Then when your plasterboard goes in, it can’t touch the external brickwork. Any DPC poking out by the window frame can later be trimmed. Cavity closures could’ve been used.
Any plasterboard or bonding touching the external skin is very likely to track damp and eventually the window company will get a recall from the customer.
However correct damp arrangements are the responsibility of the window company…..it’s good that as a plasterer you are thinking about this…but really it shouldn’t be a consideration.
Top comment. I can't say everything I want to say on a video because obviously it's not good practice to pull faults with what the builder has done when he's giving you work
GOOD JOB
thanks for that super fast response one of my favourite youtubers i do like like the as it is plastering in the real world cause houses arent perfect 3 beers from me or what ever you put it to keep up the good work👍👍👍👍
Legend thankyou mate
Could have a condensation problem on revale with cold air circulation in cavity
I'm with you mate, fortunately cavity was insulated
What a job ma man good stuff 👍
Glad you enjoyed
I like the job your doing I use bonding because you can build up a lot of it behind the board.
Thanks!
It's a pleasure mate
Nice video again handsome and a good plasterer
Hand board no aways a hawk great vid😂
Loving your channel brother. Lots of love from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Love your contenrs
Cheers Barry
I noticed the sides of the windows have no DPC to stop dampness striking through being an x brickie we always put DPC in and has you pointed out the lintel is to near the edge of the plaster
Thanks
Thank you mate 🙏
Amazing content 👌
Thank you 🙌
Kirk i didn't see any insulation in-between that walls ,is that normal. By the way love the vids mate. Very informative.👍
