Nice to see a person thinking of the next man. Cleaning out the electric boxes. Bottom of the plaster. Cleaning up. A true tradesman
That was good to see :) I always wondered how the cables got covered in plaster 1:00 when stripping them back
He only did it because he knows the sparkles will go looking for their boxes with a hammer
I plastered 18 yrs, great great money, reputation beats ads, stay clean , mind you I’m 57 now and my shoulders are shot. Well done
My plasterer only works for 4 hours a day to keep his shoulders ok
As an office monkey for the past 20 years, I have the utmost respect for skilled tradesman👍
Do you , I think most of them are robbing bastards.
Yes, me too!
You might want to look again mate
They're glorified labourers
Try respect yourself
Im a cabinetmaker and I’d employ you any day of the week. First class work and liked how you stayed calm - too many plasterers are stressed out and racing - creates a stressful worksite. Lovely work.
Calm and smooth is fast
Its fantastic to see your attention to detail. Your videos are great and do reflect the real world
Great video's kirk. I've been plastering 35 years and you explain all aspects of plastering so well. 😊
I'm an artist/owner-builder on my 4th building. I like plastering, it's an incredibly satisfying thing to get the nice finish of a cool to the touch plastered wall. This video is amazing, so full of information, you need to watch it at least twice. And the professional attitude is second to none, a joy to watch.
As a painter and decorator, these kind of people are a god send
Plastering for nearly 40 years nice to see nice neat clean job with the sockets cleaned out I used to fix thinbead with gripfill adhesive it saves lots of problems just push bead on small brush to blend, oh and marshmallows corner trowel a godsend.
Mate just the fact your looking out for us joiners by running the trowel across the bottom, legend
F**king winds me up that does!
Even though I've been skimming for 17 years I still love watching another spread in action 👏🏻
Probably one if the best plastering videos i have watched on TH-cam. He is straight down the line very informative and points out the finest of details on what NOT to do and why. As another person mentioned it was very good to see him working along the bottom with the trowel making the job easier for the joiners and also to see him fill a hole in the wall which he did Not have to do, what a genuine and caring bloke top man, thanks for showing us your amazing work and giving newbies like me a better crack of the whip and making it easy to understand without waffling. Thanks very much Bristol Lad 😊👍💪
😂
Howdo kirk, i watch a lot of the plasterers on here, i can plaster, render and everything else to a good standard, but i still like to see how others do it to see if i can learn anything from anyone else. I noticed when you turned up and started saying about flexi trowels, all the others who post plastering vids changed their tune, lol, you are the most real of all of them, i have picked up a few things from you, nobody knows it all ! Keep up the good work.
Well done on a nice tidy job, cleaning out the sockets and taking the lip off the bottom for the skirting and cleaning up is what made the job.
Most honest scouser i seen, hope customers still got his car alloys and stereo! Only joking. Top work , top man!😊
Stokie not a scouser
@@Jack-lo1uc ellesmere port 💪🙌
Scousers hate that joke about them being thieves and I’m not surprised.
Best plastering channel by far mate be great to see some floating vids and tips keep up the good work 👏
Great job Kirk. Your video quality is on the next level!
I'm trying to get better mate
This is great, some real life advice. Man, you make it look so easy!
My old dad found plastering quite taxing on his body in the last 10 years of his work life, so he tried to specialise in doing the small jobs that no other plasterers really wanted.
He had ties with electricians, window fitters and plumbers and basically went around filling chases and small voids after the workmen and snagging. He said in the last years of working he made the most money ever for the least amount of work.
If he didn't opt to do this sort of work, he is convinced his body would be a wreck in his old age.
Great advice cheers bro food for thought been offered this type of work many time and turned it down
This
Brilliant
They were a different Breed back then. I have x4 Brothers. We all all Spreads. My old man is a spread. He was 76 Last week. And still got a trowel in his hand. He's slowed down now. Only smaller jobs. But up until 4/⁵ yrs ago. He would still be plastering Chimneys off roof ladders. Bringing down Gable ends on his own with a labourer 💪👊👏
God bless the TRADESMEN who WORK with their HANDS. GOD MADE A WAY WITH THESE HANDS AND MINDS👍🏼
GIVE GOD THE PRAISE🙏🏼.
YOUR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL
Great video tanx for the upload,if ever you decide to come of the tools you could open up a plastering school,you have a great in depth way of explaining things👍👌
As an Electrician I have never seen my socket boxes cleaned out of plaster. So this was a first and it's easy to do when wet.
Chinese can do the same job at half price and 2 hrs
That's because as a spread we don't get time to clean em. I worked on site for 40yrs as a plasterer and using sand/cement backing with carlite finish or lime. The speed went up over the years as new plasters came out, like toughcoat/hardwall and so on. With speed came cutbacks, socket boxes, ceiling rose holes and so forth were left as-is because trowelling over 80 metres in one go gave no time to stop, let alone clean boxes out. I have cleaned boxes out in households which I have not done many, as most of my work was on large stuff; schools, warehouses, gyms and hospitals.
If when you clean the boxes out sparks always broke the plaster.
Clean you boxed out between trowels standard procedure
Put your wires in the box they get cleaned out if you don't then they don't get cleaned it's that simple
Great video thank you as a Diy renovation my house learning from you,tried plastering many times i can do around sockets,small holes and a 12 inch square patching up is my limit,would give anything to have your amazing skills and patience,keep up the great work and fantastic channel ❤
Always a pleasure watching your work! Worth every penny for that graft. 👍🏽💪🏽
Another very informative great vid. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
I'm a chippy by trade and i was on site with the plastering guy one time and i said let me have a go it will be a doddle. Got the trowel about 30cm up and thought i best stick to woodwork. Lesson learnt! Plastering is an art and not for the DIY novice
Currently have a plaster in my house right now... chippy as well. I did all the plasterboard and bead work .. could never get the skim off the hawk 😅😅😅 so that's why he's in
A art really ??? Don’t be stupid and flat pack isnt carpentry
Some great advice nowt like watching an expert plasterer at work, nice job mate
On the internet, everyone has an opinion on the work of tradesman. You're the only channel I've seen with 0 negative comments, all praise💪🏼
As a chippy its nice to see a plasterer do the bottom right and not sticking out top job mate 😎
I've just signed up for a home DIY course having recently bought a project of a house. I've never plastered before and it's a little bit daunting but I'm really looking forward to having a go. These videos are brilliant. Thank you💪
Those courses are a waste of time and money they will only teach you what the guy in video will teach you for free. Just skimming is easy enough as long as you have sealed the wall properly you will have plenty of time to fanny around with it just start with a small wall like a chimney breast
@@colhughes3892agreed. Be careful Neil, the people who put out these courses are massive con men.
@@colhughes3892That's not the best advice! Some People have never never touched a tool in their lives let alone put a mix on! If they get shown how to knock up a proper mix and load and hold a towel properly that's worth its weight in gold! I've been to plenty of people's houses who have just "watched" a TH-cam video and it's ended up costing them thousands for me to put things right!
Never learn anything from those courses, I did a 4 year apprenticeship in plastering that taught me the basics and all the rest was just on the job, but the biggest tip is practice,practice,practice and don't use dirty water in a mix otherwise you end up wearing it as my mentor was a old school veteran from the days when they used to wear a shirt and tie to work lol
The most important method to take from this video is to apply two coats, 2nd coat little milker than the first make sure the skim coat does not have any little hard lumps in the bag when mixing 2nd coat, smooth first coat before you put on 2nd .
Subd after this fist video, im not in the trade but very interesting and great description /knowledge of the job . 👍🏽
Well done mate 👏 👍 excellent work
True artist! Bravo..Specially for plastering where the worktops go..Something only 1% of tradesmen would do and it's such a criterion of professionalism.
If you put a handful of cement in the bonding, it’ll send the bonding off quicker. The more cement you add the quicker it goes off 👌🏾
This is exactly what I did before starting to use bonding half time. 100% it’s easier to gauge how fast you want it to go off with cement. The darker the mix is the quicker it goes off 👌🏼
The 60minute bonding is good
And it will not shrink and crack .
Doping it my old boss would say
Cement and dirty water 😂😂🏃♂️
Ive been plastering for years but I love your videos and I also play mind games when doing reveals etc.
Great content BTW. 👍. The mark of a good plasterer, making sure the skirting line is flat so that we Joiners can put the wood flat on the wall. 👍👍👍
Love the videos! Especially the extra bits you do for the following tradesman.. as a decorator a lot of the time I see things left for the decorator to do. So nice touch on that. Keep up the good videos 👊
Great work Kirk I’ve just found your channel through suggestions on other videos and I’ve got to say your not one of these one skim Jim’s you see going viral doing ridiculous sets on board work. It’s nice to see normal tradesmen taking jobs seriously and getting a good finish even on a late start👍🏻 Im a joiner by trade but also a plasterer nailing timber together is a very hard job indeed 😉😂😂
This was me other day haha kitchen after first job. When your driving there your thinking of the plan. SBR straight on then prep and off you go. I can relate
Very good. It's a pity that there are so few tradesmen like this.
Why do you say this? How do you know?
Brilliant channel. Great watch. You are a credit to your trade. 😊
There are many worthy skills, plasterers sit on the pinnacle of them all. 🙌🏻
I stumbled across this & im not into diy or anything but I well enjoyed that. Therapeutic guy!
Stumbled on your channel by chance. Our family trade is stucco and plaster, its great to see your work
As a plasterer with 25 of experience use to do kitchen, bathroom and wc for councils for over 8 years and i used to do all in the same day, including the ceilings ceilings
Good professional work ethic my son AND nice ‘quiet’ hands on the trowel for a big guy 👏💪👍 If the customer doesn’t like the price for quality work - then let the ‘rough’ squad in!!
Thanks for the nice comment mate
I love watching people who have integrity 🙏
It’s nice when you get a decent wedge. You get paid properly, you do the job properly. Everyone’s happy.
Nice work,I alway's find your work evicts interesting and you're u tube post's amazing for hints and tips thanks..
I appreciate that!
Solid content pal... New sub earned.
I use lime to set the bond off quicker always keep a small amount in an old 10L paint bucket with lid on or 20min easy fill for the finish plaster 😁👊
A plasterer that clears the back boxes... that's as rare as hens teeth. Most of them don't bother and leave them full of gear.
You're good at you're work brother u and a guy called baine r my favourite to watch proper good keep up you're quality work 👍🏻
Blaine 😊
@@OGDadAverage that's the other guys name i spelt wrong sorry
As I approach my 65th birthday I have to say that these jobs are few and far between,,you simply cannot get them all the time,BUT this fella is a tradesman,clean work and is trying to help people so rock on and keep the videos coming
Good job. 👍 Every aspect considered. ⭐ My apparent award winning plasterer moaned about every room, took matters into his own hands after being given specific instructions, complained about and argued with other trades on site, set bent beads, stopped 3-5 inches from the floor, left gaps between the wall and ceiling, and covered all floors, cables, pipes, and windows in plaster and then left without cleaning. Just earned himself a new award from me... #1 worst plasterer ever. 🏆
Why did he seem to be an award winner? Did he make this claim? Plasterers are bound by codes and regulations to follow certain standards. It is not the plasterer's prerogative to leave a job incomplete or to spread plaster where it does not belong. If I were you, then I would seek recourse.
@@satchelsatchel Yes... he and others did make this "award winning" claim, and it was published online.
The main issue I had by the end is that he just wasn't as good as he thought he was. Maybe winning an award had gone to his head?
All I know is, the contractor who recommended him haven't used him again since his performance on my project.
I had too much on my plate to seek recourse, so I just settled his bill to get rid of him. My time was worth more to me than any amount I would have looked for in compensation.
Great to see a professional looking after other trades like me painter
Brave skimming around live light switches, do you not cut the power to those circuits before you start ?
A plasterer who cuts out the boxes and fills in-between the doubles 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
you sir are the G.O.A.T of plastering👌
Brilliant vid😊
Love it, but Reveals last, it’s thicker and takes to the bead better. Then some nice wet butter with first flat
Port lads killing it 💪
Hard work pays, well in Kirk
Hey Kirk, do you never add scrim to the corners? i was always told to scrim the corners! was someone pulling my leg or what!
I did a one-year's plastering course at college in 2014 and got a certificate so i skimmed my own living room walls and i felt so proud of myself because it looked pretty smooth i was showing pictures to my tutor he said well done but then it got a lick of emulsion paint and then all of the indentations started to appear so it put me off and i never picked up a trowel since
Always just put Matt on it as silk shows every thing up
Wow it’s nice to hear that think about the chiippys coming behind you. I do the same and think about the decorators coming next. If only everyone could think like this!
Top notch lads 👍
Excellent work
Nice job mate. I was wondering do you also trowel the corners with a corner trowel or just brush them in?
Superb video set up is spot on. Must take a bit time buddy.
This mans not a plasterer,hes an artist.just class
Your words have truth at heart
To plaster is an art
His work is art, his art is an
Artwork of an artisan
great video , I live in the north west and am looking to learn how to plaster, is there a reputable course nearby you could recommend? thanks.
As alway great content with a few tips thrown in...
Thanks mate
You make it look so easy 👍
No plaster would start a job in the afternoon!!! !!!!
You need to learn the word mañana …….
Great work love you r enthusiasm ,
I'm a plasterer with 25 years of experience and I can tell you that I can start skimming iven at 3 o clock in the morning 😂if good payment
Plastering is just about the only thing I can’t do to save my life. Love watching you guys do that as it looks so easy. Only one question is it normal to put two coats of finish plaster ? Cleaning out the socket boxes you are giving plasterers a bad name. I thought the idea was to hide them so we need to get the metal detector out
Painter & decorator 38yrs & i know a good one when i see one, my trade i follow the plasterer & a good plasterer is gold dust, it's hard bloody work I've tried it but im useless 👍 masks on fella when mixing as that shit is no good to breath in , im speaking from exp old skool tradesman who are affected by it 👍
Brilliant video.
Great video for new spreads coming into the trade. 1 question.....you said about using an extra hawk full of plaster to go down to the pipes under the window, why didn't you use another hawk full again to completely plaster the 1st wall with the radiator on? Like you said it looks good to the customer. Keep up the good with these educational videos
Hey kirk if them lazy sparks didnt tuck them cables in we didnt clean out the boxs, but if they cut and tucked the cables in, then fair enough we cleaned them out, most of them didnt
Had some lad I worked with years ago got so annoyed with sparks not leaving cables in boxes he’d cut the cables all same length and add an extra cable screwed to the stud so it would fuck them up😂😂 site manager was fuming with him though😂😂😂😂
what the fuck man. i'm plastering a wall right now and i've used 8 hours to get halfway on the first coat. i thought the tools you used was for a different type of construction. this stuff is alien here in Norway. I will get these tools and do it the right way going forward. thank you! and for this job i would happily pay 1000 pounds easy
Ever thought of using a speed skim to flatten out first 👍
Nice video kirk. I like those jobs a few bags of finish and you earn a decent amount of money. Hows kireran getting on learning when do you think he be ready to whack a set on unattended 👍
alot of panels in one set, respect.
Skimming hangs longer on sbr, thats why that gauge took longer than 3 hours. Should of put pva/sbr on walls before bonding chases then you wouldn't have had problem with sbr mixing in with skimming.
First thing for me is always get the walls primed. Then Bonding with a dash of cement. Skimming in half the time
True @@stayspicy9456
Fair play cracking job fair price and extremely considerate of other trades not many around like this .
I want some of the work done in my home can you do it.I admire your work !
-From the Uk
What product/bond did you use for filling the chasers and holes? What kind of mix was it? Thanks a mill unreal channel
It's just bonding coat mate
Do you scrim cloth over a re-skim if no cracks visible?
Great stuff. Clearly you’re a talented professional and all round nice guy. What would a labourer make a day?
All depends mate, anywhere from 50 - 150 depending on how much the plasterer earns and how good his oppo is
Oh man. I was a plasterer for 10yrs. It was torture 😂 earnt 1k a week site plastering. But I lost my mind. Retrained as a bricklayer. Similar earnings. Wasn't as hard...I mean...hard but not as testing as plastering. Now...I'm a construction project manager. University as a mature student was difficult. But it was worth it. More money less work...physically of course.
Fair play getting off the tools 👍🏼 work smart not hard
looked rubbish to start with but your work is great well done boys keep up the good work
Dont forget the floor layers that have to scrape yer plaster off the floor b4 fitting 😂.Nice job pal.
As my job was a tiler for many years, not all plasters care about the tiler coming in after them. Yes they plaster and cover the walls, but how many plasters, make sure that the plastering they have done is straight and flat for the tiler ,answer none ,they don't care as long as they have their money. This guy is a nice guy, he got 600 pounds to plaster this kitchen, then the unites draws and everything else is fitted, that will cost around between 1,500 to 2000 pounds, then the tiler goes in and prices his jobs ,and the number of times ,i had people say how much, when i was asking around 200 to 250 pounds to tiler it. well you have to explain most of the time that ,the plaster has covered the wall ,but it is not straight, so it is not a case of just throwing them up. I bet thee is a lot of tilers out there who will tell you the same. But saying that in the end i went on a 6 week course ,and did the plastering as well myself and the walls were straight.
Mate it's a massive issue for tilers for sure.
Very good video and job
Hi mate, I laboured for a plasterer for a couple of months and he never worked with wet corners noticed you did. Does it make a difference or not? Cheers boy
I gave a lot of work to plasterer in greater Manchester area… I had to clean up all the time because they didn’t use masking tape , I was told they didn’t want to spend the money, so I started to tape everything of myself
Use SBR if you want ripples and lumps in your finished skim where it’s not gripped, I’m not a fan of it personally, £600 for an afternoons work I don’t know any spreads round my way who are getting those prices.
Was thinking exactly the same thing £600 wow only used three bags of board finish there is no way in a million years I would like to see inside that envelope
@@user-tw9is4it8e Only ways he gets a price like that the clients been let down and they have no choice but to accept his price, they’re stupid and can’t count or they are generally used to having their pants pulled down when they pay for work.
Round my way at the moment there’s a real shortage of work even sites have cut back on building houses and privately there isn’t a lot and what there is everyone’s chasing it and under cutting.
There are too many bullshitters out there and not enough guys telling the truth.
@user-tw9is4it8e click the link in the description, I'll show you how to earn alot more than that every day mate 😀👍
@@Onthetrowel on them type of rates you must be close to being a millionaire 😂😂😂
@@user-tw9is4it8ehe did have a 35 k tax bill last year I think 😢
im a sparky who does a little bit of plastering, mainly I started out doing it to learn how to fix my own fuckups but its really quite handy to know. I've found its hard to find a good plasterer or good tiler here in Australia, but fuck doing tiling I'll leave that for the tilers
Great work what make of sbr do you use please.
Any decent sparkie will use the correct back boxes and joining lugs so you dont have to worry about the space between the boxes.
This is the world we live in my mate
I've been a sparks for 25 years, I was trained to always think of the next man...etc etc...
Now then, DIY plasterer here. I've got a house full of rooms with gloss paint on that doesn't seem very well bonded to the substrate. Do I need to scrape it all off (nightmare...) or can I just bang some bluegrit on it and plaster on top? I'm worried that the bond between the gloss paint and the wall underneath will fail with the added weight of the plaster causing the whole job to go tits up a few months later, but I'm lazy so it's a catch 22
