For a big scary looking guy your heart is made of gold
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 !
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 😊
Can't stop watching you. I cannot decided which your strongest ability is, skill level, entertainment value or compassion. Great job.
Big man , bigger heart
Love the channel 😘
I like your approach to old school problems
Hey kirk grate to see u on fine form
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
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
Very helpful video Kirk. We're very similar in experience and methods but I never knew about the diagonal application method.❤
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 job Kirk, hope all is well with the family 👍
Well done. In the US that ceiling is called a popcorn ceiling.
Another great vid quick tip I think the fast set additive works for dry wall adhesive also😎 cheers
Great video for patching up holes. You are such a great role model and a true Gentleman.
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
‘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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Hope you are coming back to paint it 😂😂. Bloody useful stuff that drywall adhesive, sticks go everything and doesn’t shrink much
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 👍
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.
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 🙂
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
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
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 🙂👍👍
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 🙏
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 👍 🏴🍻
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
Proper genuine guy kirk you wear your heart on your sleeve not many people like that in this world now
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.
well done Kirk
In my house i take the whole thing down, everything and then put plasterboard on the joists and plaster on top.
Great invoice !! Nice one brother !
Kirk - quick question - I see for mixing exterior render it’s good to add hydrated lime. Is there any specific brand or specific stores you get it from? Struggling to find it!
Thanks so much!
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👍🏻
You're an absolute gentleman. The world needs more people like you.
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 👍🏼
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
I'd paint it with a textured paint
Nice to see someone who genuinely cares as most contractors these days don’t, top notch sir 👍👍👍
Top man Kirk great to look after people who have looked after your family ♥️♥️
Your enthusiasm and craftsmanship is infectious mate!
Top man ,personality heart & workmanship
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
As Bran Stark said to Theon Greyjoy : ... *_"You're a Good Man..."_*
Nice plaster job, shame about the ceiling light 😂😂😂😂
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.
What a lovely touch. Top man.
I’ve learnt something new watching this video today, thanks big man! 🙏🏻
Do you think a sponge float would’ve been better?
Well done big man, you were tearing up , I feel it 👍🏻
I’ll need to get into your mentorship thing soon 👍🏻
I assume the finish on the ceiling was applied with a yard brush originally.
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!
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 ❤.
People from Merseyside are so pure of heart
you had me in tears there Kirk in the end, what a lovely gesture, all the best to you mate.😭
Another excellent video, I learn something everytime i watch them. Thanks.
Looks like a dabbed corse sponge or fluffy roller to get the finish…no idea
Great stuff Kirk! Never thought to use adhesive on laths before! On an unrelated note what sort of paddle mixer is that you are using? Mine’s on its last legs I reckon. Cheers!
Hope everything is well mate
Again, top man Kirk, much respect pal 👍
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.
What goes around comes around!!! You made me cry Kirk!!.... Twice!!!
I Appreciate your comment. 🙏
Kindness is love in action ❤
Safety Glasses and dust mask :D loving the videos perfect ending.
Fantastic gesture Kirk yet again you have brought me to tears, I really hope this channel grows and brings you everything you deserve mate 👏👏👏
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
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.
Brought tears to my eyes this your such a nice man
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
Nice job mate, and I knew you would do that!
Cheers nick, your getting to know me 😉
Good to see you back Kirk. Trust all’s well! 💪🏽👍🏽
We're getting there mate. Thanks for asking 🙏
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.
As an amateur, twice now I have done an overboard.
I used strips of ¾" ply as firring because the lumberyards try to sell me garbage.
Excellent instruction. Thanks.
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
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 ???🤔
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
Your are an alright guy Kirk 👍🏻
Beautiful mate 👌
Top man. Wish I had the time and could afford to do more jobs like that for people.
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 that job for Lynn ye mum's mate is a credit to you pal and was one from the heart, well done 👍
You’re Quality all round ! 👍
Top man....god bless ya
Its nice to be nice mate i was all about the money but jobs like this mean the world to me😢
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 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
Top top bloke 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Great video ❤
You brought a tear t'mi eye at the end🥲 ❤
Best to wear goggles 🤓🥸 when pulling down old plaster ceilings! 😂
someone cutting onions around here :)
Nice 1 may God bless you
What a great person you are bud
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 👍
Top fella Kirk, love watching your videos.
top man i always learn something! keep em coming chief
