How To Block Up And Plaster Chimney

[@sharonallen1668]

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!!!

[@danielm965]

What are the things you are hitting into the sheet rock to secure to brick the name ? The Big round nail like things ??

[@specialtrowelservice]

Av done lots of places , at my employer, av got to brick up bond skim and put on a vent so the cavity can breathe, av been sent to job's were plasterboard is used, and instructed to rip off plasterboard and brick, plasterer board will go mouldy in time ,

[@Surgenorplastering]

It shouldent go mouldy if there is a vent fitted the airflow wicks away moisture. I dont fit a vent to this one because to the left hand side is a 1 foot wide vent were the gas fire pipes come out. Is there anywere you use i could info about the plasterboarding molding?

Good video, Do a video on your van set up👍

[@Surgenorplastering]

I will indeed joe thanks for watching.

Hello. Why did you add cement to mix?

[@Surgenorplastering]

It makes it set a little faster but i would rather use dirty water. There are a lot of people will say dont do it but i have been doing it 20 years now with no problems

[@snappynapster]

Thats not gypsum is it? I know you threw in a few handfuls of cement for support but whats the skim that you use? Cheers, steve

[@Surgenorplastering]

It is a gypsum based plaster but no its not British gypsum. Its called Carlite ultra finish from a Irish company call gyprock. It sets in around 2 hours giod stuff.

You can get them in a few diffrent sizes but thats the size i used in that video.

[@gillianwoodall222]

Our plasterer used the rough render under plaster 😮and 2 weeks later its still wet through! at the bottom, didn't dry render before plastering!

[@richardbood1063]

Good video mate👍🏻.I have severe anxiety how long you leave your van unlocked and left open.! 🫣🫣😂

[@Surgenorplastering]

I know i am deadley for doing that i need ti start locking it lol cheers for watching.

[@silage2000]

Do you not need a vent in the wall for circulation??

[@Surgenorplastering]

Its already vented on the right hand side buddy.

[@redsresearch]

wont heat from chimney melt or crack the plaster?

[@mrlazli]

the chimney will not be used,hence the breast opening is covered up

[@willandelfie]

There is no air vent?

[@Surgenorplastering]

At the side of the fire yes there is

[@willandelfie]

Thanks for the reply missed that bit apologies

[@caramel1712]

How much does blocking up a chimney cost roughly

[@Surgenorplastering]

Depends hiw you want it done but this cost £390

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

@@Surgenorplasteringnice. I was gonna say 3-350. £250 labour plus materials and a bit on top incase anything went wrong

[@davidfoster1055]

Why would you want to block a fireplace up when you can put a log burner in it?

[@Surgenorplastering]

Not sure tbh i have a woodburner in mine.

[@davidfoster1055]

[@davidfoster1055]

[@Surgenorplastering]

@davidfoster1055 thanks foe watching buddy.

[@ede2543]

Don’t you need Ventilation to the breast?

[@Surgenorplastering]

There is a side pannel with a vent in it so no need for 1 in the plasterboard. But i would put 1 in if there were none. Tbanks for watching.
