Music 🎶 at the end was spot on 😂
When is the next live stream?

Love watching your videos,my dad was a spread, and you work and sound just like him, brilliant 😀
Mate your videos are the best. Even the way you break down the steps in your vids makes it so simple to understand and learn. Great content
Im a plasterer but im still always amazed by how the old plasterers used to do things, the amount of time an labour that used to go into a house and no power tools.
The timing of this upload is impeccable. I've been watching a few woodburner surround videos on youtube and not been satisfied that I wanted to do cement board. I think this or straight up lyme is the way I'll be going forward. Thanks.
How come you weren't satisfied with using cement board?
Must say your a absolute natural on camera 👌
Limes my thing baby!
I always flick a thin coat on a very well damped wall.
Nothing but sharp sand and a lime with a slow initial set.
The top coat is sieved sharp sand and I finish it by applying news paper to dry the excess water off,this allows me to finish quicker with less risk of cracking.
I like the fibre glass fibres and they seem to work well with NHL lime.
Brilliant video Kirk.
I am glad you said that fire proof plaster is a pain to apply. I used it and found it a nightmare to apply , but cheating with one skim of finish plaster is still okay 4 years on
Hi Kirk don’t know if you have ever watched the TH-cam channel TheCarpenter’s Daughter , she has a massive following and I follower her also , she is fitting a wood burner and as she’s not confident on doing a good finish rendering she lined her fireplace with cement boards which also included a large brick wall above the opening , I’m sure she has mentioned your channel in the past , I have to take my hat off to her she would show most none DIY fellas up , love the channel Kirk watched it from the beginning, you don’t half make me laugh such a nice chap , the tips you give out to people is amazing , it’s a 👍🏻from me
Literally doing our fireplace now and this is a massive help …. Thanks 🙏
Impressive job, Kirk. Well done mate 😊👍🏴
What a pleasure to watch Kirk 🤩
Impressive video my man, and a very tidy job !
His TV is gonna love a 200°+ stove below it... 😂
like an episode of 24 this dude. impressive product going to totally give it a go on my next builders opening.
Thank you for the video Kirk lovely watching you work proper craftsman!!
Top job Kirk especially angle above fire ! I once used victas I was there till 11 pm never again !
Great to see a plasterer not using pink board. Top man
Love the 80s action movie suspense music 😂😂
LOL the dramatic music. 🥁🥁🥁🥁
🤣🤣🤣 I just enjoy playing around with it when I'm editing
I did mine in cement board fided on woth tile sdhesive and i used the smooth side on show ( normally other way around to tile), and it was such a perfect surface that i just painted it, and i didn't even need to do that.
Brilliant jobs , what you do mate is great and for the plastering trade. Keep up the good work.
Interesting video, like it when you Mix it up, I've done lime window reveals slow , but Smashing finishing ( restoration job) Never worked with the Product before some learning involved once Mastered lovey material to work with, very forgiving 😉
Really good video mate, not sure why the customer didn't want cement board. I've recently done our log burner and it's brilliant stuff.
Always find the grey area is the face of the chimney breast with what you can and cannot use as the inside reveals are very clear cut.
That was absolutely flawless!
Nice to see it up and running at the end.
Great job! Advice on the ACL. Once you heal it up, look up exercises to strengthen all the muscles that connect around the knees. It will balance your knees and helps take the loads off the acl/mcl muscles.
I'm currently booked to meet with a surgeon on the 30th of this month mate, so hopefully it will be getting re attached
There’s a fella I see in Liverpool Holistic realignment Marcus might be able to help you ? Check em out
Having surgery on mine to mate! Knee realignment and I have no mcl at all so having a part of my hamstring taken out to replace it 😢 hope all goes well for you!
I used that vitcas finishing plaster the other day. I'm not a plasterer by trade though but Kirk was right, it's a right pain to use and really could do with practicing with. That said its not cheap either.
I've used it im a plastering contractor if it does crack they won't stand over the product there cement board cracked in half on job I did id to fix it at my own expense
my dad use to tell me cut a small piece of External Render Stop (Bell Cast bead and snip the edges that you would normally
cover with plaster so you have small teeth sticking out didnt think about it then but it was a good hack for a scratcher
Impressive freehand on quite a challenging job.
Ours was sand and cement rendered and then painted. Been done 2 years with no problems. 👍
Broken brickwork for future generations to deal with. Well done
@@744shinryu Why ? It's a fireplace that's been there since 1950 and there were no broken bricks from the previous 70 odd years.
A house is likely to outlive you. Before it would have been plastered with something soft, easily removed by hand if necessary, now it is plastered with something hard, will require a power tool to remove. You might say, well why would it need to be removed, let’s revert back to the house outliving you, and the world not revolving around you. There was a solution that could achieve both things, you chose one that ticked one of two boxes, it’s ok, but it’s not the best, and for whatever reason in the future someone may want to remove the chimney etc, they now have to deal with very hard cement, making a naked brick feature is now also very difficult.
@@744shinryu Chill out mate, jeez
@@744shinryuI don’t give a flying f*ck for something that may never happen in the future. It’s my house. What’s on earth is wrong with you ?
Great job mate !!!
Used a similar product and sponging definitely works better than trying to just use a trowel
I've used the cement based plaster as you say it's a swine to use cement based board is the best method
Great video Kirk as always 👏🏼
Forming that top angle by hand separating the pro from the amateur 😊
Nice work Kirk, it's good to see a good understanding of construction, generally I usually mix in chopped ends of fibreglass, it's hard getting horse hair now, and I usually rake out the morter between 5 and 10 mm, let us know how you get on cheers
This product has fibers pre mixed in with it mate, it's great stuff
@@Onthetrowel ideal, sweet. Good to know, thanks Kirk
i’ll keep this stuff in mind, i’ve been using lime this last few weeks, and the product i’m using u cant even do the two coats of top plaster the same day, i put last coat on Thursday morning and troweled it up fri dinner. pain in the arse
Great work once again , Kirk .
Beautiful job Kirk!
Love your vids mate!
Prefer when you skip the music tho and the dramatic drums. I like it raw!!
Cracking job that bud. Well done
Brilliant job! I took a burner out of my old fire place opened it up and got it plastered. The old fireplace brickwork leaves the plaster a nightmare to paint think it’s soot is coming through even through wooden skirting. Do I need to line the brickwork with something before getting it re plastered??
Awesome stuff pal..... gotta be ours next surely!!
Most of the premixed lime products have fibres mixed in. Careful handling it with your hands, it can burn. You could really make a different Kirk learning lime work, the north is severely lacking in the skillet and so many of the homes could stand to be renovated using lime plaster
Andy, have you tried plaster of Paris? They stick the tiles in cast iron surrounds with it.
Brilliant video lad but a back braking job I hate doing the inside of them big time I never done one to that was having a log burner in but ye now am on it well in lad sound big time
Intense music lol makes it well more dramatic!
Lovely job mate
Thanks again
Have you done a vid on plastering under a staircase ? I did a diy job using wire netting etc what a nightmare.
Good job / material
Don’t you run the angle trial
Great tips
Looks like you’re enjoying yourself’ fair play!
Same as !!
So is there much of a grit to it ? Is it a really fine sand in it and trowelling brings the lime to the surface to fill and smooth is that the kinda theory? ... As always top job Kirk pro job every time 👍
Very nice
Great vid kirk, looks ace. Gewin
If going onto cementboard would you still do a scratch coat or just treat it like multifinish and do 2 coats for a skim?
Great video, as with others I’d like to know about the heat board, that’s what I have and it has been slimed with multi finish, is this going to fail and if so can I skim over it with this product or will it need to be taken back to the heat board and then use this product re skim? The exterior is original that’s been skimmed over, I’m worried that could also fail crack.
TV above a wood burner 😮
Am
Sure you thought of it but why not sand and cement?
Im wondering whats the maximum temperature for the tv above a wood stove 😮😊 O ya the music is brilliant
To be fair, I thought that and it wasn't getting hot at all which I thought strange
@@Onthetrowel i would still be worried about the electronics in side.
Great vid Kirk
theyre lucky they got you in because most other plasterers would have cocked this right up
Is the finishing plaster on the rest of the breast multifinish rather than lime?
Legend👍
Great video and very interesting, love the danger music too! 😂 good job!👍
Was it one bag of that stuff you used mate ?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it!
Brilliant bud
proper job
I’ve used that vitcas twice for log burners fecking hate the stuff the last couple of log burners I’ve told the customer to get it tiled inside looks much better lol and they have agreed thank fuck
Top bloke
Are you going to get your ACL repaired?
With the surgeon on the 30th this month
I feel your pain dude
Wow!
Good stuff to use when it's not cold outside
Love the videos but not the over dramatic music effects
Could you rub it up with a sponge float ?
Yes mate definitely
Why not put the TV under the fire 🔥🔥🔥?
Could you not have just used fired boards Kirk dabbed on then used that stuff to plaster it there for you could have done it all in same day ?
Metal beads expand slightly under heat. Don't mean to be a prick but Id use rules.
The breathaplaster actually looks better sponged up. Don’t try the skim coat it’s wank!
Good to see you like Trump loool 😊
Sorry mate I've unsubscribed. Unfortunately now you've started adding music while your talking it becomes a problem for me. The sort of people who watch you dont really need any music during the vid.
@Onthetrowel
hello. Question:
in the presence of heat stoves, fireplaces, do you use a special plaster or different procedures, or no difference? thanks
Don't over trowel it or it will bubble
Hi mate top job as always 🧱🔥👊👊👊👊👊
