Watching this is calmingly therapeutic. Which is what's needed right now. Great job too. Hope you're back to work soon enough.

[@noseyfuker]

im just happy to see the foam make an appearance

[@PaintingandDecorating]

The good old foam..

[@MrSmid888]

Decades off bums hitting that plaster above the bulge is how it was created. Folks lifting furniture up and down pushing the wall has eased it out over time. You always seen those kinda bulges on places of heavy traffic or a turning point/ doorway. Great filling that, tidy 👌🏻

[@mikedavies3361]

Always enjoy watching your videos chilled, informative and professional. I’m a plasterer / painter . Great work .

[@michaelstojsavljevic8453]

Painting and Decorating gotta keep busy mate! Where you guys based?

[@content-mu8bo]

Doing repair work myself at moment, one of the best video ever found. Very useful indeed! Best bit is it showed very similar wall construction to ours with all sort of different material...wall liner, brown ”sand”, plastr bits, timber strip....For better knowledge, pls can you tell me if it a ” drywall ” or ”hardwall? Thanks

[@nigelmiller5860]

Lovely repair you have taught me a lot thanks keep videos coming.

[@samcallister1553]

Brilliant, thanks for the video, I know how to tackle a couple of jobs on my walls now.

[@rowanlee4823]

I never thought to angle the filling compound at the edge, I've always just stopped it into a gap and faught the bubbles great tip.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks.

Go to college if you can and see if you can get some hands on experience at companies... work for friends get your name past about... cheap prices and a perfect job...

[@kevind7150]

Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised there wasn't a crack along the wall also. Given the fact there is wood so close to the surface.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Your welcome, yes thought that myself.

[@Ralphs-House]

Done it this way, and now and again an initial layer of cement (depending where it is) after sealing. True enough about bonding plaster staining although you could use stain blocker.

[@musakavalci9470]

True pro! Well done sir it looks flawless

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.

[@orbitalforest]

Decent repair that mate.👍

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.

[@markrowland5393]

Lovely job. Why do you use Polyfilla top coats? Is it because it's easier to sand than the Diall?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks, it dries slower gives you more time and is better to sand.

[@markrowland5393]

@@PaintingandDecorating Thanks - yes, the slower setting time and easy sanding are both good on the top coats.

great video, very informative

[@korgscrew2000]

Had a guy come around yesterday to quote for a spare room. Asked him how he would fill the cracks and holes in. He said, I'll just caulk em. Going to try myself now I have some time over the holidays. Not going to book him.

[@jonthrustle4920]

Your good buddy, thanks for the videos 👍

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.

[@yoshii793]

when did you apply the polyfilla, the second bit of filler?

[@classicalcarpenter4297]

Love your work, but couldn’t help grimacing at the stair to skirting board joint. They should have cut both stairs and skirt at 18.5 degrees to get a good interface. Remedy; cut two fillets with a plumb cut and a 18.5 degree cut on each fillet. Cut back skirt and stair to fit. This will get rid of the hideous joint at the stair and skirt interface. Keep up the good work

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you, not sure if the skirting has been replaced over time.

[@mazzamac21]

Hi. Can I ask why you used two types of filler? Could you not just have used the dial but mix it thinner? Thanks, I really enjoy your videos

[@PaintingandDecorating]

You could have just used one, but I wanted to show a different brand.

[@mazzamac21]

Painting and Decorating ah cool! Thanks mate.

Are you still out working if so keep safe you are both insporational and to precous to lose regards and all the best stephen

[@ttsstt1000]

Yes good and mine and a freinds but ive got some emrgency work to do as i do locks and emergencey repairs lucky i did one customer as her garage door was being proped up by the gas meter lol she nearly freaked when i told her

[@Bsweeney8t3]

Great job. What areas do u work?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you, but sorry no details.

[@mandyg.3004]

Wont you need to paint the whole section of that wall to combine the newer paint with whats on or was that painted not too long back?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

No, it depends on what paint has been used. But best to touch up first and then see if you have to do a full coat.

[@mandyg.3004]

Ok Thank You

Did it have woodchip wallpaper on the walll ?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes it did in the past, hate the stuff so had to go.

[@martinjp1]

Important to use a quick drying filler or else the filler will take days to dry because the repair was so deep.

[@explorewithant]

I’ve got a problem with an inch gap between the staircase timber and the wall,,,,I’m not sure what to fill it with,,, there’s a chunk of what ever was used to fill the gap in has fell in and gone down under the stairs,,,it looks like some sort of old plasterboard,,,what’s best for filling it in buddy because I can see a hole that goes straight down under the stairs,,,,have you got an email of anything on social media that I can send you a picture so you would have a better idea,,👍👍

[@chrisward9745]

I would think foam is a good starting point, as in this video, then same steps to get filler finish.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

I can do better this video will help.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5rRn32ua92ngJo

[@chrisward9745]

@@PaintingandDecorating looks like same staircase as the one you've just done the horizontal crack?

[@explorewithant]

Painting and Decorating yes cheers mate but your hole is mainly in the wall plaster where’s mine is next to the staircase timber,,,,my staircase is about an inch and half away from the wall so my hole is a straight drop down between the stairs and wall,,,if I put expanding expanding form in mine then it will probably just drop straight down,,I think who ever plastered the wall has just plastered the gap and and it’s a chunk of old plaster that’s fell out the gap,,not sure what to do now mate

[@markrowland5393]

@@explorewithant Maybe try to get something solid in the hole to start with e.g. bit of tile, bit of brick, semi set plaster. Then use foam and filler.

French filling knifes, I have a stainless steal set of 5 they don't rust.

[@nobbystyles4807]

car body filler. massive tub £25. mix and forget. use it for back filling holes, sealing showers..... everything.

[@acropolisnow9466]

Also, just try out some Toupret TX110 filler, another massive time saver. Stuff is amazing. No depth limitation, can just bang it straight in and then feather it over the top with the same gear. Trust!

[@orbitalforest]

That's what i use as well , great filler , i find it far better than Polyfilla or Easyfill . Doesn't tend to flash as much either.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Will defo get round to testing it, always open to a better product.

[@acropolisnow9466]

@@orbitalforest It's a top product, one of those rare things that is worth every penny spent. The fact that it has no depth limitations is probably one of the biggest selling points for me. Strong as anything too. To be able to do nasty ceiling repairs and suchlike then paint on the same day is fantastic.

[@mrbtboydify]

I'm decorating bedroom, would have finnished before dinner time tomorrow but no she wants two different colours. Two walls white two grey. So gotta keep waiting for one colour to dry. So annoying plus moving every thing around each wall. So looks a late one tomorrow. Grrrrr

multi-tool would save a lot of time

[@acropolisnow9466]

@@PaintingandDecorating Yeah I hear that, keep my manual tools that I'm using with me in a pouch too. A decent electric multi-tool is a good investement tho, can cut with speed and accuracy on stuff like this, neaten things up swiftly and so on. Good at altering small areas of wood with accuracy too.

@@PaintingandDecorating No different from owning an electric jigsaw to be fair.

@@acropolisnow9466 Not saying they may have uses, but not for me, just something more expensive that will break at some point. My tools need no electric no batteries...

[@acropolisnow9466]

@@PaintingandDecorating Surely most blokes will by default have a mix of tools, fairly safe to assume you've got battery driver drills, jigsaw etc... One thing I will grant is that the multi-tool blades can be expensive.
