Need never apologise for going on in these videos. That is what makes your videos top notch. You explain everything very thoroughly. Thanks. 👍
Thank you. I appreciate that 🙏
Yours is the most watchable and reassuring DIY channel I’ve found. I like how you explain things, I like the way you come across and I just generally think this is a better channel than a lot of the others. Seems a shame you’re not on the telly.
Aw, thanks David. It can be a bit of an anxiety inducing thing this video malarky, so comments like yours are manna from heaven 👍 I'm working on the TV bit. No solid offers yet but here's hoping 🤣
Charlie DIYte You definitely feel like you belong on the box so I hope it works out. I don’t often comment on TH-cam so this is totally genuine. Thanks a lot for the videos - they’ve been a help to me and you’re much better at explaining this stuff than most. Best of luck!
@@DavidS-dw1wv Thanks, I massively appreciate that!!
Agreed!
Agree with David's point. Very informative and watchable, you should defo have a TV gig! thanks for putting these out there.
Of all the videos out there on this subject this is the best by miles and miles! Exactly all the info I needed plus more. You do NOT "go on and on" at all!? Your content is always to the point, incredibly well filmed with detailed close-ups and full of helpful tips. Thanks so, SO much, Charlie! xox 🙏
I've got loads of this sort of work to do, this video is so helpful and I will be watching it again to reinforce the techniques you explain.
Love the detail you go into! That extra bit of information helps me retain the tips and tricks
Great Video, first time some one has explained British Gypsum so i can understand the different products. Looking forward to seeing more, Thanks
Top bloke, all videos broken down and explained. Love the amount of detail you go in to. Ive found endless amounts of tips from your videos. Keep up the good work please
Absolutely what I needed, thanks Charlie for going to the time (as always) to explain things so thoroughly and so easily understandable too. Already have a bag of easy fill and I only have 1 small chase to fill after installing an outdoor light, so you doing this both with and without bonding has really helped me in feeling confident I can just use the easy fill for the whole chase and not worry about not using bonding (and having the cost of buying another material) thanks again
It's funny how many of your uploads coincide with what I bodged about two hours before :) oh well. My next jobs are painting the walls, new skirting/architrave, and a built in wardrobe too.
These videos have helped so much over the last couple of months. Thank you!
Fantastic video Charlie. It definitely gives me the confidence to tackle these tasks on my own. Very timely as well - bring on the mist coating video! Thank you.
Thanks for another great DIY masterclass Charlie. I will try to use the larger tools in the future, as I have used smaller trowels etc, hoping for a better finish (which never seems to work).
I absolutely love your videos and as a keen DIY enthusiast for many years I have to say I learn a lot from you, even if it’s one or two things I haven’t tried before. I think the way you present for complete novices to those more experienced, leads me to always think I didn’t know I didn’t know that. Keep up the great work mate.
My partner and I have just bought our first home and it needs a fair amount for repair as well fully redecorating so this is a great time to have found your channel! this was great info and I look forward to working through you other videos
This video is perfection! It’s answered every question I’ve had about wall repairs! I feel confident to get on at home now!
I always mix my filler the way you did mate. Impressed with you. The amount of people I see on site who waste easi fill is shocking. I've been plastering old school for 14 years
Thank you for your videos Charlie - really helpful and much appreciated. You have helped me do a few jobs which I would not have had the confidence to tackle. Best wishes, Keith
I feel confident enough now to go round my house and start plastering all the chasing left by the sparky! Having watched my sparky bonding the first few chasers WITHOUT using PVA glue to seal the brick dust to begin with , I can now do this myself and do a proper job!
Been looking all over the internet for a good how to. This video beats all of them. Broke it down brilliantly for me. Get yourself a TV gig!
Finally some decent uk handyman content. Keep up the good work
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen since I started my “rebuilding and redecorating” journey! Thank you!
You're welcome Marek 👍
Thanks for this video, I chose the EasiFill option to fill 10 chases in my kitchen and I'm so pleased with the result, I actually really enjoyed the whole process too, very satisfying. It can be a bit intimidating to get the supplies for a more advanced DIY project like this as a young woman, it might sound silly, but it really helped to have the information from this video when I went to the hardware shop.
So glad to hear that Rosie - fantastic work - bet you felt a bit epic completing that project and it's armed you with confidence for the next one. Thanks for getting in touch 👍
Did you use only the easifill? I’ve got the same job to do and I’m wondering if I use the first way he showed or use only easifill. Has it cracked or shrunk since? Does it show lighter after you paint it or is the new paint the same across the whole wall?
Thanks Charlie, always good to double check with your videos before starting a job
The best diy channel bar none. Charlie , you're a perfectionist and must inspire the " bodgers " to follow suit.
Hahah I’m of to do one today going to fill it with pound shop wall filler
Thanks as always - you’ve given me the confidence to tackle some gaps between windows and walls, although I did click through to purchase some of your recommendations but many are currently out of stock - we now know what the Great British public is up to.
I also have to tackle some uneven joins in my bedroom ceiling where plasterboard panels weren’t put up carefully as they were covered with polystyrene tiles (!) so will be applying some of your tips
And finally the internal, sticking inward , corners beneath my square bay window, which I will probably need some of those wire supports to get a clean edge, but I’m hoping your instructions will still apply to those !
This guy is just brilliant!! I'm almost there to finally redecorating my home DIY. Videos like this gives me that extra confidence.
100% Agree! Its the confidennce, not to mention the clear info too
Thank you thank you thank you! Excellent delivery, detail, and no faf. You are perfection ❤
Just the tutorial I was needing. Now feel more confident with the job I am about to start. Well worth subscribing to.
Thanks Charlie, used the Gyproc 60. Gave me enough time as I’m to much of a faffer and it was 27c indoors.
Explained with expertise, confidence and loads of common sense. Brilliant. Ta!
Thanks James 👍
I just wanted to say thanks ! Your video was very informative and straight forward. Been on TH-cam for a couple of days anxious to start fixing the wall but this video has given me so much info, I think I’m ready to tackle it. Thanks again 😊
That's great news! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, and good luck with the project. Drop me a line if you've got any questions. 👍
Perfect timing. Sparky just finished the chases yesterday!
We are renovating the whole house and I must say that your videos are a great help. Very informative and objective. Thank you 😊
Thanks Karolina. I'm very grateful for your support! 👍
Thanks so much Charlie. As always, a most informative and interesting video. Please be safe, i know you guys are havinghectic weather over there. Take care from South Africa
As always, The most thorough and properly explained and shown examples to help any DIYr
Just like school, many tutorials do not explain the why behind the how. You always do. And that is the key to understanding.
great stuff
many, many thanks
Can't thank you enough for this Darren. Whenever I find myself flagging a bit, wonderful people like you pop up and remind me why I'm doing this. Thanks so much. 👊
Thanks for this, I have landed on several of your videos in the past and they have taught me a lot! Much appreciated!
Just the tutorial I needed for a job - immensely useful Thanks !!
Thanks Charlie. This is exactly the help I needed. Recently had some new sockets fitted and the electrician has left me a real mess to sort out 🙄
This is my weekend sorted! Incredibly helpful video, in particular the discussion of the different products. Thank you.
Thanks David 👍🏻
Excellent and invaluable explanation of bonding materials and technique
Marvellous video. I have been using the Easifill 60 today ... great stuff.
Thanks for the great video. I've done a lot of this over the years and you've answered all the questions I'm usually asking myself .
You're welcome, Terry. Thanks for the comment 👍
Perfect timing, I'm about to start chasing into every wall of a new house! Really helpful vid Charlie, thankyou 😊
Same here!
I love the fact after receiving professional advice, you reign it in and give the average DIYer's perspective. Like you say, we haven't dailled in those skills like a professional or a master craftsman or have those sort of high end tool available. Thank you for a great channel.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that. Yes there's a lot of tool snobbery from the pro tradesman but there so much we DIYer's can do with a few basic tools and a bit of prep 👊🏻
You've given me the confidence to do jobs myself. Thank you!
As a beginner to this , you explained these to perfection well done
Really useful Charlie, found the range of product information just right. I do agree with Alan re grommets. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've done this before, but I'm about to revisit this exact job with one of the 5x1kg Easifill bags. This video has been super helpful in reminding me what to do, with plenty of extra hints and tips. Thank you! Excellent video!
Thanks David. Well done getting those 1kg bags. They're fantastic. Get yourself a plasterers hawk and possibly a plasterers trowel if you can. Makes the job so easy 😉
Why order 5x1kg instead of 1x5kg, am I correct that Easyfill will have an expiration time limit once it opens?
Another wonderful output and extremely informative video. Charlie there’s no need to apologise for the length of your videos at all.👍
Good video mate. Thanks for explaining the different use cases for the fillers/bondings.
Great videos charlie. Just the sort of thing I've been needing to know. Pulled all the wallpaper off in my hallway and tons of blown and cracked plaster that needs some love
Really glad you found it useful! Yes this stuff will be just the ticket for that 👍
I needed that video to give a boost of confidence and refresher on my DIY skills. A big thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment 👊
Great video - thanks for posting, I appreciate the effort you put into your channel. Your videos are always very informative and they have been a big help to a number my DIY projects.
Thanks David, and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍
The way you explain it, it’s amazing. Thanks man.
Aw, thanks mate. I really appreciate that 👍
You're a godsend. An excellent and informative tutorial . Thank u.
Great vid Charlie! I never understood the differences with the products but you explained it perfectly
Thanks - glad you found it useful 👍
20:44 Charlie says, "I can't thank you enough"
No Mate! Its us who can't thank you enough!!!! This is exactly what i was looking for. Given me enough confidence to tackle this job my self! I too am renovating a few rooms of my house
Thanks Garviel - and I massively appreciate all your support of the Channel 👍👏
Fantastic video. Thank you. I’m just about to start some electrical chasing and this video was perfect to help me with the finishing. 👍🏻
Thanks Kevin. Really glad you found it useful.
Just wanted to say thank you. I have the confidence to give this a go now.
very good presentation and full of useful guidance to the DIY person
Excellent Charlie. Gradually working through all your vids. I’m relatively new to diy having never picked up a hammer prior to lockdown. Now I can’t get enough. Your vids have been great either because they’ve taught me how to do something or they’ve validated something I’ve already had a go at (such as this video in fact). You, stuart at properdiy, Vikki, Keith and the diy guy are my go to channels these days with Netflix, prime and the rest all very much relegates :-)
Great to hear from you Chris - this is exactly why I set up this channel so it's humbling and rewarding to receive feedback like that. Keep up the good work and remember a DIYer embarking on a well researched project in their own home they care about stands to do a much better job than the average tradesman. 👊
Thank you so much for this video, Charlie. It helped me a lot. Its absolutely perfect. thank you
You answered pretty much every question I had on this! Best video on plastering I've seen thank you.
Really glad you found it useful. Thanks so much for the comment 👊
Brilliant video, very detailed and useful for beginners or improves. Only item to note is that the electrician did not install the rubber open grommets for the incoming 2.5mm electrical cable and need a blind grommet for the knockout which isn't being used on the first sockets filled with bonding
Thanks for the video Charlie, got some good tips there for me to tackle the mess the builders have left behind!
I'm a new subscriber, loving the videos very good indeed. Just used the 60min easifill. I used the ratio on the bag to make a good mix.
This was so informative!!! Thank you so much!!! I feel much more confident now!
Thanks Charlie, brilliant video and extremely helpful
Hi Charlie. Great video would love to see how you'd fill old lime plaster if you were able to do a video on that
Excellent, like the way you explain everything especially products and why to use them, i will say i use a Mirka sander to finish but size of Job will
determine this. Thanks.
What a legend. I was previously clueless about all things DIY, but thanks to this video I could help a sparky with second fix to speed things up.
Awesome. Well done mate 👌👍💪
Charlie, excelent video as usual. Went to buy some Easi-Fill 60 from my local Travis Perkins, their on-line catalog price (trade) was £38! the best they could do for me was £26. I told him that Toolstation, which Travis Perkins own, sell it for about £18 free next day delivery...... which is what I ended up doing.
Another great vid - thanks for sharing, Charlie👍
Thanks mate, very thorough and well explained video. Cheers

Great video, will be using this to fill my own chases. Also, what is the name of the funky music you used?
Love watching your videos, so instructional.
This was a good one Charlie, would never have considered these types of filler before but now I will give them a go. How to the other brands compare? Does screwfix do a no nonsense version etc. Can you do a comparison video?
I think, that easy fill is fantastic product to work with loved the video.
Great vid as always and a cracking tune to boot!
Hey Charlie ✌🏼 your video is helping me a lot , just rewired my house and now I have to repair the walls , just a question, how long did you let the PVA to dry ? Thanks ✌🏼
Nice video Charlie. I always mix small amounts powder first for the same reason. Never bother PVAing dry bonding coat, but do spray it with water and let that absorb if it's really dry. I'm gonna try the Easyfill. Been using Diall ready mixed for small areas, but found it too thick and difficult to smooth when skimming larger areas.
Just discovered your channel, really enjoying watching your work. Keep it up 👍👍
Thanks so much. Great to have you on board 👊
Spot on advice - I love your channel - thanks Charlie.
Thanks so much Mike 👍👍
Great video thanks as for the mixing I found making a measured amount up adding the water from a measuring jug then getting the amount of water to the amount of powder then revert to the first way of mixing knowing the quantities needed
Really good vid - thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Charlie!
Great timing for me, as I’ve chased out a wall, and was exploring options to fill it. This is the best video I’ve seen, as you’ve explained a range of options to consider for the job 👍🏻
Thanks Steve! That means a lot to me as for some reason this one seemed unusually laborious to put together but it doesn't matter when I get comments like that 👍
Charlie - thanks for the video, I have watched you for a while and your skirting and this video for easyfill 60 are things I am about to do in next few weeks.
Good to hear it, Colin. Many thanks for the comment and good luck with the skirting and filling! Let me know how you get on👍
Charlie DIYte thanks for the reply and will do.
Thank you for this video. It has helped with making the right choice for the job I had to do.
Really glad to hear that Richard. Thanks for the comment.
love watching your channel mate and great information keep it coming
Superb video, highly informative with great tips, thank you!
Brilliant. Plenty of helpful advice. Keep them coming! Thanks
Thanks Leo 👍
Thank you very much for this beautiful video. Really you are BOSS.
Thanks
This is, quite literally, the exact video I Was after. Brilliant thanks
Being in the autobody trade for over 40 years, I apply techniques from my trade to my home for those repairs as well. For small repairs, I use autobody filler. Although it's a little expensive, it's fast, sands easily, compatible with everything I've applied it to, and doesn't shrink. Good benefits! I also use fibreglass filler for repairs in damp areas and rotted wood repairs. Works great! I do use plaster and spackle for some minor repairs. Great channel, Charlie!
As always , a must watch when I get my subscribed alerts sent to me, 10/10. Cheers Charlie!
Thanks David, I really appreciate that 👍
Yet again a fantastic video. Thx Charlie
This has been so helpful. I've had nothing but bad experiences with trades people I've found on Rated People and MyBuilder. Almost all are cowboys and exploit people on standard of work and then price.
I'm going to by my own kit too.
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful. 👍
best video on TH-cam, very thorough and great tips too, thanks!!!!
Thanks 👍
Excellent and comprehensively explained vid - thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment 👊
Very helpful! Just what I’m looking for. Thank you!
I’ve done the job. The finish is very smooth. Thank you!
Great video Charlie. Question: do you have to apply PVA before painting the areas you just filled?
