Mate we ran out of money doing the Appartment, so we ended up doing this stuff ourselves. So guys like you have being apsolutly amazing, thank very much!
Really glad the vids have helped you out. Good luck with the apartment and thanks for watching!
Hi, I'm a site plasterer.I personally think it's a good DIY video.It's clear & informative for most DIY enthusiasts to follow.Personally I always bed my beads with plaster which I'm using & on very large areas I'll staple the bead.Remember every1 is different, and people alter techniques so it works for them .I see people on site constantly with different techniques but obtaining the same goal.Again being different, that area could have been taped & jointed & probably easier for most DIYers to achieve a good finish,however it's a plastering video for DIY enthusiasts and everyone needs a starting point.
Hi Nicholas, thanks for the feedback. As you say it is intended as a beginners video not to showcase master plastering (which I couldn't anyway!).I think people often get het up on how plaster is applied, but there are different methods so each to their own I say. The important thing is that 2 good coats of plaster go on which will be durable and finished to the required standard. Good luck and thanks for watching!
As a DIYer, I found this really helpful and you explain it in a way that makes it easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback James. Really pleased the video helped. Good luck with your projects and thanks for watching!
I've got to say thanks. I followed your video the first time I plastered a wall about 3 years ago and got great results. Since then, I've always popped back for a refresher when ever I've been tasked with this daunting job, and always get the same great results. Either I'm a master plasterer and I just never found my calling, or more likely, your instruction is really on point and very clear. Thanks Pouse.
Glad the video was useful 👍
Thank you for your professional advice.
1st time plastering after seeing you video . Full walls came out spot on . Thanks again 👍🏼
My plasterer let me down, didnt bother answering my texts. So after watching the vids i gave it a go. Bit tricky to get used to at first but i did 4 walls in a day and have a really nice smooth finish. Doing the other wall and ceiling tomorrow. Saved myself £350 by doing it myself thanks to your video and happy ive done it myself and gained experience and it looks good
Marc, that's great news. 4 walls is really good going, nice work! Good luck with the rest of it and while you're arms are aching, just think of the money you're saving. Thanks for watching!
Good man!
For a DIYer like myself I find the videos on this channel brilliant. The presenter is easy to follow and makes it sound simple to do. This in turn makes something that might be daunting to something that is achievable.
Thank you very much for your kind words and thanks for watching.
Possibly my new fave channel. Top work mate. 👍🏾
Really appreciate your great feedback. Thanks for watching.
get that architrave off ffs
Not always possible on site when other trades have been in. Client would of had the chippies round first putting the frames in. Didn't want them to come back after so they put the architraves and skirting in. Nothing difficult for a decent plasterer to sort out. Better than the cowboys who go straight over the door frame with skim and leave you the task of knocking it off and pulling finished plaster off the walls after
Cant for the life of me work out why they do it!
I grew up in in a house with one-piece metal door frames that were held on with sliding brackets that nailed into the framing, so you had to plaster around them. The plastering was usually neat enough that they looked fine, but it tended to crack if you slammed the door. I think they stopped using frames like that (at least in the USA) in the 1960s.
Excellent video mate; very clear, and you explain the techniques in detail especially the movements - brilliant.
My old man was the best plasterer ive ever come across, no longer around to ask his advice but everything you said and did on this was exactly how he used to do it. Spot on mate, thanks heaps.
Sorry to hear about your dad. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Excellent video, haven't plastered in years and could not remember the work flow of skimming.
Some of the newer videos seem to be professionals showing off, the ones I watched 5 years ago when I first skimmed a room seem to be far more clear.
The most inspirational one was the guy with his little girl bringing him tea between coats, alas no where to be found now.
Thanks for a good instructional video
I'll have to train my daughter to do the same! Thanks for watching and best of luck with the plastering.
This is one of the best videos yet for basic plastering, straight to the point. love it, thanks
Thanks for the feedback. A link to my plastering playlist is here if you want more - th-cam.com/play/PL2-FHRIF3qm9ej6TMNeBO6mgAWv5aCB1F.html
Been struggling to find a plasterer to skim the bathroom, but now having watched this, I'm pretty confident I can give it a go! You make it look so easy
Best of luck with it Lee and thanks for watching.
Best plastering a wall video I’ve seen, very helpful, now I’ve got to take the plunge and do one myself 😬 Thank you for the great explanation!
Very clear instructions and steps and agree it is an art form. Thank you.
Thank you for this. I've plastered a lot of our walls with lime plaster, which is very different. I've a plasterboard internal wall to do now and this has helped me understand the gear I need and the plaster product to use, not to mention differences in technique. Excellent :D
Glad to have helped. Best of luck with it!
Excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing. I’m gonna make a start in the airing cupboard, see how that goes.
Ace videos Pouse - thanks. I have followed your instructions for a few jobs I am currently undertaking on a conservatory I have put together - the plastering is next. The explanations in these videos is an excellent help. Cheers
Thanks for the feedback Neil. Be sure to check out my other plastering vids as you may find they help. But by all means watch all my videos! Best of luck with the project.
Thank you..... I plastered my own wall and ir looks fab xxx
i am in the middle of doing my loft up,making a recreation room, now i know how to do a proper plastering job after i put up my plasterboards.,great vids Bud.
Great news, good luck with it all. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Beautiful! This is exactly what I needed. Perfect video. Straight to the point with no nonsense. Love it. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words!
Superb instructions. About to do my first plastering job! Many thanks.
Just got our next house that me and Mrs are going to need to renovate. These vids are brilliant help, subbed.
This is the best explanation I've seen for complete beginners. Nice and clear and a logical progression . Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the pace and style of the video. Good luck with the plastering and thanks or watching!
Excellent! I was scared off by the idea that it's easy to overwork the plaster... but by building up in layers... cool 😎
Nice one Matt. Thanks for watching!
excellent tutorial thank you. 50 years I worked in the construction industry and never managed to master plastering when it came to small repairs and making good. Now I know why ...!
Thanks for the feedback John and thanks for watching!
Great job of explaining the process in simple terms. Really informative for a DIY renovator like myself.
Thank for the feedback Clive.
Excellent. Thank you for explaining the dark of art of plastering.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for caring and sharing ❤️
Actaully a good video other ones i watch they dont tell you how much to mix or anything. Good vid very informative cheers
Excellent ! Just what I needed to learn for the holidays... thanks, love your informative guides :)
No problem 👍
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Fantastic simple straightforward plastering for beginners. No glossy crap to make the video longer. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work.. and best of luck
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Excellent video, exactly what I needed having built a new partition wall in the house - thanks mate.
No problem. If you check my plastering playlist there are more useful videos there that may be of help. Best of luck!
A Welsh plasterer that actually works? I'm doing up a gaff in The 'Port but every plasterer was always' about to go on holiday ' so I gave up and am doing it myself. Your videos are the best- and I think I've watched them all, but the American woman' seejanedrill' explained the trowel movements and angles and hawk techniques the best. You do a better job explaining in this video than your others though. So huge thanks! It's been going really well and I finally have flat walls in the kitchen area. I'm dead chuffed and really enjoying it, not to mention saving a bomb, but I won't be giving up the day job yet. Had a tricky spot but the tongue and gurning tip saved the day!
Hi again, glad to hear the videos are helping you out. It's not my day job either but like you has saved me a lot of money over the years. When you say the port, you mean Newport? Good luck with the property, appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching. Good luck and keep it up!
POUSE around the HOUSE
Yeah, the Newport invasion begins! Goldie Looking Chain now owe me a fiver... 😉 Trading the New Forest for Brecon Beacons and Gower. And a house that's half the price of a beach hut down here.... Oh, and friendly neighbours. Not used to that one!
Thanks for your time making this and your other videos, they’ve all helped me out with my DIY. 👍🏻
No problem 👍
Great tutorial, thank you. I haven't plastererd wall for years so a recap is very important for someone with the memory of a goldfish;)
Hope it went well 👍
Thank you, easy to follow guide for my home DIY project.
I’ll be having a go of plastering a false chimney breast that I’ve built and I’ll be having you by my side at every step. Great video 👍🏻
You can watch all of my plastering vids here if that helps - th-cam.com/video/3f90vww8Dzs/w-d-xo.html. Best of luck!
Thanks Pouse, I'm working on my property which needs some skimming every now and then. I watch this video each time :)
Glad to help. Plenty of other plastering videos under my plastering playlists if you need them. Thanks for watching Andrew.
Thank you so much! I managed to plaster the walls and ceiling in my gym I now understand why they charge so much! Looks quite smooth anyway thanks
Well done, great news, glad to have helped. Thanks for watching!
Clear and concise. Thank you
Love your videos, they have helped me so much in renovating my new apartment. Cheers!
Glad to help!
Great tutorial. Will put this to practice sealing over a recently bricked up door way. Good tips should help me get the job done well.
Thanks for watching 👍
Good lad! A clear and encouraging video. Just what I needed to have a go myself.
Best of luck with it!
I'm on the third video on this now and it's so very well explained, the right pace, etc.

Nice one, just had a go myself following this guide step by step and looks amazing. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. Well done on having a go, good luck with it and thanks for watching!
I always come back to your videos for tips and wot not, Thanks for taking the time to impart your knowledge, they are helpful.
No problem. I am by know means an expert so always take a look at other channels to get a broad range of advice, but I will always do my best to simplify things for someone starting out. Thanks for the kind words Jim and thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Yep i have watched a lot of them..a lot of yanks calling it "mud"...thing is i have done enough plastering now to be good at it but my finish can be hit and miss..so go back to basics and ty and find out where in the process i'm going wrong...loading the towel too much...pissing about with the first coat too much and not mixing to the right consistency which is crucial are the culprits ...It really is an art and really satisfying when done to a nice finishl...your vids are to the point,so again cheers...I'm doing my house at the moment...Not near plymouth are you Pouse? i could do with a hand. 😂
Just about to satrt my first go at plastering, your video came up and it was perfect help. Thanks mate.
No problem 👍
You always have great videos mate. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Thank you for your time and help.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Hi
I'll do just about any sort of DIY apart from electrics (nasty, scary stuff). However, I've never done plastering before and I was a bit worried about it but your video has made it very clear so I'm going to have a go.
Thank you very much.
Best of luck with it!
Best video for plastering a wall.
Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the plastering!
You're 5 star and thank you for well demo and well explained
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Superb tuition, iv'e watched quite a few video's on plastering now and yours is by far the most informative, i certainly feel more confident about making a good job myself, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback Deryk, plenty more to come. Thanks for watching!
From Ireland, great job
Explained this very well and thanks
Love watching your videos they are really helpful thanks
Glad you like them!
Great video! You make it look so easy!
We'll see what I end up making of my own walls... 😬🙄😏
I intend to do an apprenticeship doing plastering and you've boosted my confidence a lot. The tips for beginners are great! Good work! Hopefully I'll be where you are one day! :)
That's great, glad the video helped. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, thanks.
Great video mate. Clear and simple!
Hi Gordon, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Thanks, going to be using your vids when I do my new house up!
Great stuff, best of luck with the house and thanks for watching!
Dude you're awesome! Very entertaining and informative top marks matey!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
👍🏻 Looks absolutely fine to me. My plasterer only did half the wall in two bathrooms (don't ask), and I'll be buggered if I'm having him back.
Going to have a bash myself after watching this. Doesn't need to be a mirror finish, as I'll be putting wetwall over much of the area. Just need a reasonably flat & level wall to crack on with my plans.
Great video. Thanks 👍
That's lush that is. Great teaching style. 👍👊
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Yep, really nice, well set out and easy to follow. I'm going to try it on a small area under the windows first. Ta!
peter worma
Great stuff, very clear and concise 👍
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Interesting and not in any way dull! I gotta plaster a small wall later and am going to give it a go on the strength of this vid, which I have watched three times now. Cheers mate :-)
No problem Andy, hope it works out for you. Check out my other plastering videos (I have done a plastering playlist) which may also help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the lessons you have demonstrated, as well as free ?
No problem, glad to help.
Thanks mate.......after watching your vid, even a numpty like me should be able to make a decent go of it.....all the best
Excellent. Thanks for all the details that many other video makers just assume we should know.
No problem Colin, glad the video helped. I always try to cover everything in my videos no matter how basic or advanced, although I sometimes forget. I always welcome a reminder from viewers if I leave something out! Best of luck with your project and thanks for watching!
well made simple to follow video, practice makes perfect thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
I personally think these video are great. Like others have said, no bs & very step by step. My only 1 wee caveat is when we're doing a back to frame refurbed, the guys that do our plastering always prefer that they get in and bang the job out before we do our skirting and facings. Quicker, easier & less fiddly. Other than that great vids mate.
Great job lad
Thanks You Pause, your videos are so helpful, I've learned a great deal from you so far. I'm a decorator by trade but have found your videos have helped me out in different areas in many occasions. Much appreciated 👍
Thanks you for the feedback. I'm always happy to help and it's so rewarding when people like you tell me that me videos have helped them out. Good luck with your projects and thanks for watching!
POUSE around the HOUSE No worries mate, credit where credit is due 👍
Thank you for this great video
No problem!
Great video and great explanations. You've helped convince me that I can actually do this...
Hi Kent, that's great news, go for it. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks going to put it to practice tomorrow
Good luck with it Steven, thanks for watching!
thank you for this very helpful!!!
No problem, thanks for watching.
Many many thanks.... I’ll get stuck in ...😊
A good video for beginners and DIYers. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video Peter. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. Good luck with your project!
love a video that's to the point, good info!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
I'v always done my own DIY, but always avoided plastering as it looks like one of them tricky jobs there's a knack too.... I fancy I'd bodge too many walls practising before I got to a good enough standard. I'll just a stick to bodging everything else for now. Nice job.
Steve I have been a builder all my life and would only attempt plastering in dire circumstances . THEN I found the secret which makes it simple , it tells you on the bag. Start with small walls . Say you have a wall 2m2 you will need 6 litres of plaster to plaster it 3mm thick . Do it in three coats . For each coat you will 1 litre of water, mix in plaster until the right consistency , just concentrate on getting it to cover the wall . You will think there is not enough plaster ,so put it on very thin . Then wash all your tools off and do it again , 1 litre of water plaster to suit and just cover the wall again . This time it will be a lot easier and you may even have a bit left , but start to flatten out and use all the plaster . Then do the third coat exactly the same way , and trowel up . I always put far too much plaster on the walls and it was a nightmare . Nobody ever tells you how much you need .Give it a go , measure area of wall , halve it and call it litres ,three coats with that amount of water in each mix . Then when you have done that your confidence will grow , but don't tell anyone the secret .
thank you for making it so clear and easy to follow.
Hi Khalid, no problem. I'm glad you you found it clear. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Lush video. I need to plaster a small alcove in an old house and a bit of my stairs. Your video is proper helpful. Appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
No worries Lewis, glad to have helped. Good luck with it and thanks for watching!
Fair enough keep them coming!
Will do!
Thanks for these videos, I plastered a wall earlier looks good considering its my first time, the only thing I struggled with was flipping lines, even when on the polishing bit I still get lines, took me ages to get the lines out doesn't help that I'm heavey handed and probaby pressing to hard, I suppose it's practice makes perfect, I got another wall too tomorrow, so I'll copy this video.
Thanks for the comment. Sometimes it can be due to a new trowel with sharp edges. If you use an older trowel or buy a 'part worn' trowel, it will help as the sharp edges will have been worn down. Hope that helps. Good luck!
see you have been to Thailand, i do six months in the UK and six months over there , good vid
Actually, I haven't, it was a tacky gift and I love it!
Great tutorial! Gonna give it a go
Best of luck!
Excellent vid, I learnt a lot. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
love it very good , it really helped me out thanks mate
No problem, thanks for watching!
