I'm a grown 42 year old bloke, plastering now 24 years and this brought a tear to my eye, this is brilliant, u are a legend, love your videos, true gent.
Videos are brilliant 😊
Kirk mate. I'm not going to say you've had a hard life as I don't know you. But you've definitely lived and learnt who's important to you. A man after my own heart. God bless fella 👍
It's been interesting mate, that's for sure 🤣
What a lovely man You are God bless you . 🙏
@@Onthetrowelyour a bloody great guy 👍
Lynn will have a smile on her face when she sees that bill, nice one !
The difference between kirk and other tradesmen on youtube is, kirk has an aura and an attitude that just draws you in, hes what we would call a "propper sound guy" where im from, he's more than a plasterer because ive learnt more than just plastering from his videos such a humble great guy
Can't stop watching you. I cannot decided which your strongest ability is, skill level, entertainment value or compassion. Great job.
For a big scary looking guy your heart is made of gold
Bring a tear to a grown man's eye... Guys like you deserve their channels to have every success, rather than tik tok bimbos. Keep up the good work.
Big guy with bigger heart!
My dad was a 'brickie', and in common with many in his trade back in the sixties and seventies, he spent most of his free time (and money) in the pub.
He never physically mis-treated my mum, but gave her the bare minimum to bring up four kids.
My biggest regret though, was watching other kids dads playing football and other games with them, while he was in the boozer.
Similar situation mate 🙂
I’m watching this whilst on holiday in the far east and it fills me mate. You’ll never really know how much this gesture will ever mean to people but I know you have a good heart and a bloody good work ethic. I’ve said it before Kirk and I’m saying it again you’re an inspiration. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍🍺🍺🍺
Good on you sir , and I’m sure the lovely lady appreciated the gesture , and good on her for being there for your mum , it was called community then and I don’t think it will ever return, mostly it man mind thy self nowadays,
Thank you for your kind deeds to others 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes, thank you 🙏
Big man , bigger heart
Love the channel 😘
My dad did all the ceilings in the house by roller extra thick and then went dabbing the roller up and down. I had to patch in an airing cupboard when it was removed and a polystyrene ceiling rose that started to break up due to the weight of Hoover and iron flexes being dangled from the fitting had pulled the plaster away from the lats. I came along and tried to remove the polystyrene and a 2 ft ballon-shaped section came down. I made a right mess of the ceiling and it resembles an early pregnant stomach, but the bloody thing is rock hard. The paint effect I managed to somewhat recreate with a stipple/basil brush, but that ruined the expensive brush. 30 years on I still have the hairy bump in the ceiling. :) The airing cupboard turned out a bit better and even managed to match the fall of the eves, still not a great job. Sometimes when you haven't the money to get someone in, you have two choices, leave it or have a go. I wish I had left the ceiling rose until better times, but it is a feature :) Great video and I will try your tech next time.
Did a x2 year course in plastering at the Deptford skill centre now the Lewisham college South East London , I learnt enough to crack on but in 1988/1989 The Acid House kicked right in and I missed a few classes here and there as I would be still coming down and felt a bit Digital 🕊 💊 I still do a bit of plastering here and there but now at 54 I suffer with rotator cuff muscle damage to the left shoulder … BUT Watching these uploads is a pleasure and he knows his onions and really does explain all situations and graft in layman’s turns and it’s really easy to absorb .. YEAH I’m in with both feet … Brother you would be a fantastic tutor PURE TEACHING MATERIAL especially for the younger teens as this would give them that much needed guidance And I say that with the upmost RESPECT ..
Keep up the good work ( GRAFT AND UPLOADS as your supporters are out here … HAPPY DAYS …. London Bermondsey calling..
This is one of the best comments I've read.
Cheers fella
I like your approach to old school problems
Im a plasterer myself kirk. 33 and being watching you for a a few years now we've a similar background a dad with heavy hands and a strong mother , you give me belief life will get better
Hey Kirk...just to say how much I enjoyed this video...took my mind off our own problems property wise ( and age wise..) and when energy comes back I may have a go at some....that lath ceiling could have been a nightmare but you sorted it (even using ‘modern’ materials) ..... Glad to say that the old lime stuff is now very available..but somewhat upgraded for more time conscious use..I.e. NHL limes ..but I would have had to think carefully about which strength to use..1/ or 2 or 3 grade..could be useful to research as there is surprisingly Many houses still with lots o lath in situ..The Old lime putty very available and very light but slow drying..so I guess when you said ‘maybe a touch of gypsum in the original lime plaster’ they used that to get a bit of a set ?..Not sure that’s a good combo, but hey, the ‘old tradesman’ knew a bit most of the time through donkeys of handed down tricks..Found it fascinating to see as I have done some traditional lime work...but main thing is you did it anyway ! The lady must have been so pleased..Many thanks..
It's a tricky repair that one Kirk. Enjoying seeing the difference over there. It's so hard blending texture. Good work mate
Cheers mate, appreciate it
Love your videos (retired builder 15 years). I have not read all the other comments but I I thought only qualified electricians were allowed to do work in kitchens and bathrooms so I would keep quiet about that small job to switch in case someone dobs you in. Plastering tip - I have just done EWI render system on my sons new house - the 1.5mm silicone render finish
has devastated 3 sets of working clothes so wear disposable overalls!! Keep up the good work.
Love this TH-cam channel … great tutor!
Very helpful video Kirk. We're very similar in experience and methods but I never knew about the diagonal application method.❤
Just watched this video .
Absolutely love ❤️ your videos.
I think the thing that really got me was the invoice .
She's going to be made up so much over that .
Especially the writing .
I absolutely love yr work ethic
top tip on Monocouche render scratching the final coat if you are doing this in winter you can do it the same day just get a small gas bottle and a touch gun this is what flat roofers use for touch on felt let it go off for 1 or 2 hours then lightly put the flame all over it do 2 meters at a time that will get the moisture out of the top coat and should be ok to do a scratch the same day saves you going back the following day i done this method years ago you only need a light flame from the gun just comes with practice get the balance right hope you like this tip
‘Salt of the earth’ that’s what I would describe you as. We use to ‘bag it’ to get a similar stippled effect. Scrunch up a plaggy bag until it was a tightish fist size ball, then just touch and pull off, or twist and pull for a swirl and central stipple.
You're an absolute gentleman. The world needs more people like you.
Watched a few of your videos now. There brilliant, I have learnt a lot from them and its great to see kindness helping others out.
What a nice gesture for Lynn. I could see it coming but all the same a great thing to do.
At 22.00 though "whoever did this was a lunatic" 😂😂😂
Glad your voice has returned Kirk.
Another A1 video.
this bathroom Im doing has lath and plaster, lime plaster as you say and cedar laths ! Smells wonderful when tyou trim it off with an angle grinder. Whole ceiling had to come down, thousands of little tacks and hundreds of clout nails driven into the hardest ceiling joists Ive ever seen. Probably hardened with age, but very close grained, no pine smell when cut. Lime plaster on the walls too, still not rock hard after 100 years but stuck like shite on a shovel to the brickwork. Impressive stuff.
You are a cracking plasterer kirk and a first class human being. Your family and friends must be very proud of you. From big John 💪
Cheers mate appreciate that
Well done. In the US that ceiling is called a popcorn ceiling.
Great explanation and a lovely story of friendship. Thank you Kirk.
Hi kirk
It's been a while as I now have a voice like yours 😂
My old man was a linesman , so out in all weather up poles. His thing was go to the pub have 6 pints of tenant supper Every night other than Sunday. If he was upset by a nut job in the pub that didn't know him look out. But consequently it would have a knock on effect back home with mum.😢. But like you I wouldn't change nothing. As this gave me the right life skills and the discipline For me to be where I'm at today. sadly he's no longer with us he was the life and sole of all parties and a complete nut job as a dad he was a strong gentleman always in a shirt and lived life to the full. I some times I wounder if this what's up with our snow flakes of today.
Cheers dave 👍 🏴🍻
It was horse hair mixed into the lime plaster. It was still available when my house was renovated. If the synthetic hair is acceptable for listed buildings and works the same thats good.
The SBR would also help stop water absorbing into the wood, so limiting shrinking as it drys out, you did a perfect job there mate. I would of just used bonding for both coats, but would of put cement in the mix to make it set quicker, also I find the cement makes the plaster set harder, for the texture finish, I might of made a slurry/watery mix of setting plaster and dabbed it on with a brush. I see you are using a stainless steel trowel now.
It's just a new carbon mate, hasn't started to rust yet
Ur useing a ice brush for sealing lol😅 u must be doin well
Always a brilliant job keep it up I always learn somthing new with ur vids 👍
I knew you wouldn't charge for that kirk.
She sounds a lovely lady, who was an absolute star for your mum, which is a very special thing.
My life as a young lad was a little bit of the opposite, my mum was a bit keen. Sometimes she was lovely, then other times id get the wooden spoon or the pallet knife on my legs, or sometimes the strap. But nothing off my dad.
I was a good lad, i was never in trouble, but i still got a good hiding.
Your a lovely guy kirk, all the best to you, love your little films.
Who would have thought a happy man going round in his van plastering walls and ceilings could be among the best channels on TH-cam 👍 mental
So true...I was thinking the same thing...came here for technical questions about rendering and ended up watching more videos because of his persona. Some people are so smart with their content...
Kirk, do you do all this alone or do you have professional help with the editing and the overall setting of the videos? ( french speaker here sorry )
Hi Kirk mate, watch you for a bit now, I’m a decorator for an insurance company and I urge you get a azzy test, especially for lath and plaster, In my job even tho I’m a decorator I also have to rip ceilings down because of leaks ect, and I won’t touch them until they’ve been tested in multiple places in the ceiling
What's an azzy test tom?
Asbestos test is what he means mate
0.001 % of white asbestos is the least of your worries when u see what chemicals are in ur food & drinks 😂 eating too much bacon is more dangerous than all asbestos
@@Onthetrowel Thought it might have been Artex, which can have asbestos in it.
Hey Kirk, I'll be plastering a couple of bedrooms at home soon, both have cracks behind the rads (2-3mm wide. Internal render, 70's build). I'm almost certain they'll come through after a skim, do you think a wide scrim is enough, I have some render mesh if not. Cheers, Stu 👍🏼
Check if the plaster is solid, It might need to come off, also see if it's cracked the brickwork, if so just install a brick stitching kit first mate
@@Onthetrowelyeah it's split through to the block too, not really sure what's cause that. Cool, I'll take a look at the stitching kit. Failing that, dot & dabbing that wall could be good, that way the area's bridged? Thanks pal. Hope all is well with ya 👍🏼
Good job Kirk, hope all is well with the family 👍
For one min i thought you were about to say the famous Lynn was Dame Vera 🤣.....you should get yourself on ' Loose Women'...the story was so heart warming😉...and the ending brought a tear to my glass eye, u old softy😂
What a sound lad you are, Kirk.
Im sure you're loved very dearly by your family.
What a fantastic channel you have and thanks to your advice i have enhanced my novice plastering techniques ❤
Spot on advice. Always a pleasure to watch your vids . 👍🏻 also my misses likes you. That is saying a lot . Little more than i care to admit that 🤣 👍🏻💪👍🏻 . . I get your being sponsored so all good there with the van more miles per pennies 👍🏻. Working wet there 👍🏻 love a customer that truly apprieciates your madness 😂👍🏻
Top man, you made me laugh. Cheers rich 🙂👍👍
Hope you are coming back to paint it 😂😂. Bloody useful stuff that drywall adhesive, sticks go everything and doesn’t shrink much
Nice to see someone who genuinely cares as most contractors these days don’t, top notch sir 👍👍👍
Kirk, try a sponge inside a co-op bag, wet the bag and dab up and down on the ceiling, does the trick for me pal
Great guy👍🏻. Well done you.....i found that if you get a dodgy pull switch that doesn't click off on on.... squirt a little WD 40 in the switch and it should be ok👍🏻
Never going to do plastering in my life, just here for the good vibes - and you certainly deliver. Another excellent job done.
Glad you enjoyed it
You would never make an insurance contractor. Lathe and plaster? Cant patch, rip it all down! Textured coating? Cant match, rip it all down! You must be the best plasterer in the country. Great work 👍
It could be argued it's like the difference between a mechanic and a part's fitter.
Good improvising on the ceiling, that finish is usually done with a roller with plaster on, different rollers different finish. mostly done on houses in 1940's.
Another great vid quick tip I think the fast set additive works for dry wall adhesive also😎 cheers
I think the original finish is known as the apocalypse finish
🤣🤣
Absolutely ridiculous
@@xARESEEx those who know..
.
Your work is always spot on top man
Watched a few of your vids recently. I’ve not picked up a trowel in anger for 25 years. You guys have it so easy. Does anyone remember these. Fit all your tools in one bag. Spirit level, what’s one of them?😅
Hi Kirk just tried my hand at re skimming a alcove wall ready to paint but it has dried leaving a couple of air line crack is this normal and how can you rectify this
Sisel the synthetic hair is called mate (dartboards are made from them aswell) sisel comes from a cactus plant , I used to use a lot of sisel when making ceiling roses , dado rails , panels etc for strength , I used hessian for coving and bigger plaster products but yet sisel would be used for the smaller products , not the nicest material to use either 😂 gets everywhere man …. Big up lynne , don’t make those loving generational women much nowadays do they
Hey kirk grate to see u on fine form
Great video for patching up holes. You are such a great role model and a true Gentleman.
Wow Kirk wot a man you are ,you clearly haven't forgotten your early life and family ,i love watchi g your videos just because of the man you are ,you are doing your family proud, lovely to see there a still genuine guys around like yourself, respectto you Kirk ❤.
The original plaster would have had horse hair reienforcing plaster doesn't have that making it more prone to cracking i cut out the shape of the hole to put a piece of plaster board then used fibre glass tape in the gap to reinforce the join.
In N Z as we don't have the mixes available in the UK.
You have to be careful with french plaster or plaster of paris joining yo modern gypsum board so i paint the edge of the old surface doesn't react turning the modern filler to powder over time.
Love this... Kirk you're a good man - a big soft teddy bear the world needs! Giving her an invoice for £0.00 is the icing on the cake. Kudos to you.
brilliant idea useing board adhesive. will be in the future
Maybe vacuuming between the last boards might get some of that dust?
Proper genuine guy kirk you wear your heart on your sleeve not many people like that in this world now
What goes around comes around!!! You made me cry Kirk!!.... Twice!!!
I Appreciate your comment. 🙏
Awesome detail covering a problem I've come across on occasion. Your flick finish looked really first class, i use a hand flicker machine to help limit the mess. Hope all is OK mate and looking forward to the next one 👍
Years ago there was a polycell product that came straight out of the tub and applied it with a roller. It was sold as a cheats artex. The result was similar to this ceiling finish.
Polytex and polyripple
Kirk buddy , I've had to try and match textured ceilings , they are a nightmare,. I've used a plastic bag wrapped to a paint roller to get a similar affect, top video buddy
Kirk, please put some eye protection on, you're too awesome, got to protect those eyes ! Great video, thank you.
And please stop putting on that Jeremy Kyle sort of music.
You Can get the point across without that soppy crap!
If you ever stay in Caerphilly South Wales for work, please let me know on here or via my website. Would love to take you out for a meal and to some local places for free. Such a nice man and deserves it all for sure. You can also meet my best friend from PRD who loves your channel.
Very kind of you to say that thankyou
Your enthusiasm and craftsmanship is infectious mate!
What a good man I'm new to your channel and I've learnt quite a lot I always wondered how that got that texture in old ceilings haha
Big man - big heart. Another cracking video Kirk
That was a really nice thing to do for your mums friend and I’m sure she will be made up with it , good things happen to good people
Kirk is one of the most respectful and kind hearted person I know and if he could help you he would
Nice one Wez. How you keeping mate, not seen you for ages.
I think the last time I saw you was when you had been on a night out and took that truck for a drive 🤣🤣 hope your well mate
That box gives you more torque, meaning you don't need to rev it out like normal to get the power. You'll be able to shift at lower RPMs now meaning you will essentially save some fuel.
Even before I saw this video I just knew you were a good person Kirk,there’s just something about your personality that says I’m a good guy without you boasting.
You are incredible mate, got a bit choked on this one, god bless you. You must do a follow up, when Lynn gets back.
Did you have the old Artex checked for asbestos? Interested because I couldn't find any mention in the vid about it. It would be a good thing in any videos like this to at least do a brief PSA and spread awareness of the potential risks, even if the job you're on is tested and safe. Good job with what you had to work with though.
Good to see you back Kirk. Trust all’s well! 💪🏽👍🏽
We're getting there mate. Thanks for asking 🙏
As Bran Stark said to Theon Greyjoy : ... *_"You're a Good Man..."_*
you had me in tears there Kirk in the end, what a lovely gesture, all the best to you mate.😭
Kirk that job for Lynn ye mum's mate is a credit to you pal and was one from the heart, well done 👍
Top man Kirk great to look after people who have looked after your family ♥️♥️
Kirk im a paramedic looking for a change of career thinking plumbing or plastering how can i make the switch effectively... 20 years as a paramedic has been looking enough
Kirk with the tuning box fill the tank reset the trip meter then when empty refill divide liters to gallons and divide the mileage, the mpg readouts on the dash are only a guide, I had a box on a subaru and the dash showed high MPG but the reality of refill/per mile the car was no more efficient, they generally fool the fuel rail pressure sensor to add fuel , hence more power.
here's hoping it is more fuel efficient for you anyhow.
Hi Kirk your brilliant mate. Look after your lounges mate, I’m 59 and wish I had. ❤️👍🏻
I think that pattern was originally obtained by putting a plastic carrier bag over the trowel and sort of dabbling the plaster
The carrier bag was best used for the broken leather effect, when done correctly looked classy compared to the different stipple effects when artex was in its prime.
Sound video, got todo one of these this month and also didn’t want to go board route, will use the drywall then bond then multi route! Cheers mate for video
I assume the finish on the ceiling was applied with a yard brush originally.
Great video ❤
You brought a tear t'mi eye at the end🥲 ❤
Best to wear goggles 🤓🥸 when pulling down old plaster ceilings! 😂
Out of curiosity as somebody learning the trade, how did you identify that lime wash paint was used under the artex kirk?
In my house i take the whole thing down, everything and then put plasterboard on the joists and plaster on top.
Big lad strikes again.. May your kindness come back to you ten-fold!
Kirk, i've alway wondered, if you knew nothing about Plastering but as a youngster if you was offered to either to start out as a labourer, then down the line becoming a contractor or try learning how to becme a plasterer, without knowing anything about plastering ???🤔
Safety Glasses and dust mask :D loving the videos perfect ending.
Top man ,personality heart & workmanship
Fantastic gesture Kirk yet again you have brought me to tears, I really hope this channel grows and brings you everything you deserve mate 👏👏👏
I’ve learnt something new watching this video today, thanks big man! 🙏🏻
Do you think a sponge float would’ve been better?
You reminded me and hopefully others that in this life, friendship, love and family are more important than any other aspect of our being. Ultimately that is what we will remember and probably all that matters.
Kirk that box just tricks the ecu to say it’s cold and injects more fuel don’t be tricked mate
I said it another video post. It'll dump uncontrolled fuel and turbo pressures . And tell the dash it's better. Keep stock or install a proper remap it'll be far cheaper in the short to long term . A d change the oil .
Another excellent video, I learn something everytime i watch them. Thanks.
You probably know by now but the artex tool you were looking for was a stipple brush like a float with rubber bristles bout an inch long and just dab it 👍
Its nice to be nice mate i was all about the money but jobs like this mean the world to me😢
