[@lukesaunders9321]

Great work and I think £300 would be a reasonable charge due to repeat visits and the value you saved them. As a potential customer I'd be very happy with 10% of the cost

[@Actuallytbh]

£500 is easily justified for the quality and experience you bring. Not mentioning the amount he would have had to pay otherwise…

[@GeorgeMcG90]

200 i reckon. 2 hours work, save the landscaper, customer happy. Everyone wins

[@lewishumphries2893]

Helping out a fellow tradesman like that was great to see. You didn't have to but you did it anyway. Top pro

[@davidlenton8627]

Nice job Kirky. £200-250 seems fair to me, but I’m sure the Landscape Guy would happily pay £500, rather than the £3,000 quoted by Monocouche Man. David (from that there London)

[@benrutherford7471]

You're a true gentleman and legend Kirk. You got this bloke out of the shit here, and the patch repair turned out great, mate!

[@hugoboss5979]

Top bloke! 👍🏻.. Not only giving us free tips and advice from your years of knowledge but helping people get out the s#&t on the way. If only there were more like you. You give me hope!!!.. Good on you Kirk.

[@steveblanco8812]

Made a cracking job of patching that in. Considering took you 2 trips to complete the work and you needed a bag of material £250-300 would've been very reasonable. Served my time with my old man as well. 40 years later can still hear his voice in the back of my head. You're a top tradesman Kirk, all the best mate

[@romystumpy1197]

Kirk is my go to ,I'm a female on my own and I need to learn these things to keep my home in good repair

[@lazylad8544]

I would of thought 100 quid was reasonable for doing that job. But being a better man you charged him nothing. Your a legend kirk. Fair play to you. Hope the landscaper passed on the good deed. 👍👍

[@zaxmaxlax]

100 bucks seems fair, since you need at least to come back the next day to scrap even tho its a few minutes job

[@Terrybikesandmusic]

I did a similar repair a while ago, not as meticulous as you, but I found that applying that stuff to the wall was easier using a small scraper than a pointing trowel 🤔

[@MrMatador29]

gets more dough in clicks on here, fair play to kirk though, gave me plenty of confidence on jobs i wasnt too sure on, a great teacher, the trade needs men like this to train the bet lot

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

100 pounds? Even at a minimum of a call out charge @£75x2 visits plus materials, you’d be looking at around £200. Can’t work for pittance in this day and age

[@Ryannic25]

Not worth driving to a job for £100. £250. Paying for expertise not how long it took.

[@paulbruce4014]

Remember you had to see the job, 2 visits, fetch the materials. Then you returned to check it. £100. But well done you did a favour 👍. It will come back to repay you in other ways. I do the same here in Spain, am a retired engineer & get all sorts of small jobs which I charge crazy cheap for, as it is my experience that fixes things. I have so much return work that I just can’t cope with it all 😂

[@mrblobby754]

What a good bloke you are!! Love watching your videos, your a real role model as a tradesman .

[@stevegrimwood5109]

Exactly the person you’d want working on your house, knowledgable, professional, tidy and a top bloke - keep up the smooth work 👍

[@markhannan4712]

What a guy helping the landscaper out . Great job as you always do

[@barryl.2688]

Nice one Kirk , what a diamond you are sir, helping out a fellow tradesman. My old mum use to say what goes round comes round a good deed helps someone out if one day you need a favour from the landscaper he will remember this.

[@WombleUK]

That was an impressive patching job. Very nicely done Kirk.

[@petemoring67]

KIRK!! ... That was a Masterclass in getting over a VERY EXPENSIVE Repair .... You could JUST! Have saved the Nation Millions£££'s ... Most DIYers could copy Your Method WITHOUT! having to call in the Experts ... A Very Nice CHUNK Of KARMA😇 Heading Your Way MeThinks 👍🤠

[@JokerB1789]

Looks easy but they won't have his experience so they got no chance

[@NS_RC]

Absolute legend. Cannot thank you enough for being the guy you are. The trades need more people who are in it for the love and passion. 👏

[@GerryAD]

We need more people like you in this world. Top man! 👍🏾

[@jimm3379]

Beautiful job, perfect match! Every time I watch your channel Kirk, my faith in humanity is restored. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@riptiz]

Knowing you Kirk you probably only charged for materials. You really are a hero.😊

[@stuartwhelan393]

So kind of you to do that and sharing your knowledge by videoing it. You’re a very generous guy, thank you Kirk.

[@gregarrell6132]

Terrific job Kirk. You are a true tradesman.

[@tonyjamesr116]

That’s really good, I’ve done quite a few mono and silicone repairs in my time, there both difficult to blend completely.

[@moebadat3383]

Awesome work Kirk you never fail. Top man.

[@JT-si6bl]

Brother of tools, I thank you for your experience and communicating it so well. You are also preserving someone's job (very honourable) and exposing weaknesses, and strengths. Excellent teaching. Also, your dissolving fears of 'eco' products, which Iv met some tradesfolk don't touch - they have no idea what they're missing. That mounting the post is on will make damage again :(

[@sky37blue]

I hope the home owner is clever enough to realise how lucky he is to have a connection to you now and uses you for everything in the future. Especially since the guys who put it up didnt even suggest trying a fix and went straight to £3k

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Brutal that the gate post can't come off because of the risk that putting the gate post back on will crack the render. Blimey. And if I was near your area I'd book you for work because of how helpful you are. You do a lot of good.

[@baldyslapnut.]

If its that shoddily fitted the first time the gate slams in the wind the render will blow anyway.

[@neilparry6923]

What a gesture kirk, could easily have charged £100-200, considering the time, fuel etc, great to see not everyone is out to make money from everything, hope karma comes your way soon 👌

[@stevenclark1973]

A great job, and a cracking bloke. 👍

[@theferreira8632]

Would love to see more future videos using Ecorender products...

[@JokerB1789]

I would just make sure materials are covered and hopefully around £50 would cover them as that materials quite expensive.. it all depends on your relationship with the guy who asked for your help.. the nightmare is it is your time and labour but as a spread myself you feel so guilty charging for it, I have been there and haven't charged.. your a nice guy doing the same

[@mickl8212]

You're a true gent mate. I did a job for someone and they wanted to pay me for it. I refused and said the fact they'd thanked me was payment enough.

[@paulfarley8023]

Top job Kirk! Top man with your good deed 👍

[@andyb3331]

Good man Kirk - `what goes around comes around` always play the long game, doing a favour like that could lead to loads of recommendations and as we all know 9 times out of 10 with a recommendation your pretty much guaranteed to get the work👌

[@Andy-zl1rp]

As always Kirk excellent job lucky landscaper you deserve a few beers.

[@garyreid4026]

Great work and attention to detail mate. 👍🏻

[@petergedd9330]

Talk about skill and perfection, what a good job.

[@garrywalker8714]

Looks great Kirk, well done mate, such a nice thing to do.

[@damiandangerous8853]

This vid is absolute class mate. Production is great, the commentary is informative and direct - no messing. Subscribing straight away. Can’t wait to explore your channel :)

[@mattl5846]

In terms of cost, forget the 3k, that's here nor there, it's for your time, I would charge 150 per visit, excellent patch up job btw

[@paulmurphy5396]

I agree £150 per visit is fair 👍

[@mrjh8467]

Great job! Plus to gove it at that price (no spoilers). Hats off to you. You will get something in mind someday when you need it.

[@b-wopraye280]

youre a top bloke mate, dont usually comment on things, recently have started getting my foot into the door with plastering and your videos are a blessing 👍

[@therushden]

You could have charged for your time, materials and diesel to get there but you didn't. Got the old boy out the sh1t well and truly. You're a top fella 👊

[@joytotheworld9109]

Sometimes 1 detail kills a job stone dead, turns a decent profit to a loss and a repeat customer into a litigant. It has killed companies not to mention sole traders. 2 visits is 2 visits. Unless it's next door or next door to a site you're working on you gotta hit him for travelling. Skill level is pretty high and the consumables aren't cheap. Ignore the 3K, this is a 3 figure job, I'd say £250 but I'd be guessing at your costs. You gotta take £150+ for the time and fuel. BTW legend for helping the landscaper out. Proper job, hopefully they sing your praises and know who to call when they need a quality job!

[@SEANPOL203]

That worked a treat, very decent of you too 👍👍

[@user-ym1ff1vg8c]

Hello Kirk You're the Master Plasterer I've said this before I've followed your progress and plastered myself for money The answer I'd give is not about money, it's more than that it's your time Your repair is perfect as always, however small it is. You have remember you could be on another job for the same about of time earning a full days wage I'd charge a full day here, regardless of the size of the job. You've made two visits and two trips in the van as well

[@RichardDowd]

Brilliant result that Kirk!

[@craig5320]

Top work always, that guy won’t forget it either. Reputation is king

[@IrishKingzz]

Great job Kirk 👍

[@tommyhall7043]

What a gent, well done you👏🏻

[@rogerlavictoire]

Great work and way to go paying it forward 👍🏼

[@markdale1038]

Hey Kirk Mark the plasterer here . Answer to your question . It's not a huge job and you'll probably get sn amazing name for helping a fellow trade out if it was me I'd charge the price of the krend and get a great name for myself . Cheers bud 😊

[@PaintNDecorate]

What a true gent, nice to see someone with the same ethos.

[@bastardohorribilis949]

Unreal mate. 🤌🤌🤌

[@WAROVART]

This made my day, you are a true gent

[@twelveightyone]

Wow, that is an absolutely unbelievable patch mate, you would never know anything had happened! Pure skill and experience that.

[@Dcreedondecorator]

What brand of tape is that please? And another cracking job you are a true professional and a gentleman 👏

[@TheLondonForever00]

Kirk, you have heart of gold mate and you probably did just save that landscaper from going under. They don't make many like you anymore. A trade helping another tradd is what it's all about. That original plasterer needs a slap for that the greedy cnut, not even telling him what K-Rend it was - he's probably the fella you always get down the pub bigging himself up for how much dough he makes... The type everyone can't stand. Plus his original work didn't look that great tbh. Well done Kirk, you're a lifesaver. 👍

[@astonman4]

What a gent you are Kirk. A rarity in some tradespersons, but you are great.

[@funkeybikemonkey]

Depends if its a job on the way in or from somewhere.... Also, when this landscape gardner recomends you to all of his customers that is worth these little jobs all day long. Bet he gets loads of walls that need render.

[@russellholloway7465]

I think that's pretty bad of original renderers to not tell the customer what product they used on their property

[@man1cs171]

they wanted a quick 3 grand

[@hoog111]

I recon you’ll be getting your garden landscaped in the near future. Nice one mate.

[@comedychannelmartinconnolly]

Fairplay Kirk....That was a kind gesture.

[@nezbit8989]

Pulled him right out of the shit there, I think he probably loves you now! Excellent job very well done 👏

[@jackinnes8599]

top man loving the content Kirk

[@taxximaxxi]

❌ plastic surgeon ✅ plaster surgeon

[@craigmala]

Fantastic guy! fixing that patch worth £150 all day long, knowledge and your skill is price less.

[@anemone9895]

Fair play Kirk. Life saver 😊

[@EMEL-hr4ut]

Genius ! No two words about it

[@martincraig-je4vo]

You've got a heart of gold kirk, the guy must be over the moon 👍👍

[@iwerkalone]

$250. Amazing, your work is fantastic.

[@Jagerbug74]

i knew you'd do that! the world needs more people like you!

[@Ulukai-gb6dh]

Good video. A fair amount will be whatever your daily rate is times 1.2 (assuming the return visit is a quick one).

[@thesmithsfamily1901]

Ah, you’re a good egg Kirk! Cracking job too pal.

[@Deepthought-42]

👍What goes around comes around.

[@timp8019]

Those other plasterers were mean spirited not to tell anybody what product they used. Nice job and a kind heart, that landscaper must have been delighted.

[@baldyslapnut.]

Kudos to you Kirk. Hopefully, the landscaper has learned next time: pilot-drill the render and background first; clean every hole properly; resin fix some stud and then pull the timber onto the wall, preferably by hand and not bladder every fixing with an impact. If you use cheap, sub-standard, expanding plugs with inappropriately sized structural screws/coach bolts, they will expand behind the render and pull out of the hole 'dinner-plating' the render just like here. For the original trowels to suggest it all needs to be redone rather than just a patch job is criminal. Rendering before groundworks is asking for trouble anyway imo. Easier to render-proof a driveway than groundwork-proof fresh white render🙄. Ffs couldn't whoever fitted the mail box space it evenly off the wall with some plastic pipe or stainless washers/nuts?

[@stevenbarnard1958]

Hope you don’t mind me asking I’ve retired a year ago and I’m in the process of moving to a 1900 semi detached house that is a wood framed building and then sand and cement render do you know if they need lots of maintenance it’s not listed building but I’m worried about the cost of maintenance. Once I’ve done what needs to be done are they just like any other house or high maintenance and for insurance do they come under timber frame walls and plastered board or timber frame and brick walls. The plaster boards walls double in insurance price many thanks

[@m5-networks]

Lovely gesture. I'm sure it will be returned in double to you 👏

[@Roger-u5t]

That looks like an awesome fix.

[@kelly182237]

Top tip leave it for 1 hour and if you have a gas blow torch go over it with a light flame that will dry it out gradually and give it a scratch after 30 minutes the same day

[@racingpigeons-tips]

yes that works use a blow torch a very light flame to dry it out take your time when doing this

[@iceman77-t6q]

Great job, you're definitely a good man..

[@dolphhandcreme]

Would be a lot easier and nicer if you'd remove the post first. Shouldn't be that many screws but gives you great access AND be sure that, if ever in the future, the homeowner wants to remove the post, the repair isn't as visible as now.

[@tomdexter6925]

Well done kirk👏

[@diablosdilemmas5743]

Well done kirk

[@mgleeds3834]

£120 for something like this i would say. I usually leave the tape on while scratching back. Great job

[@vincentwilliams4732]

Good on you its not all about the money

[@israeladesanya4596]

Yes it is😂

[@staffh3815]

Kirk keep passing it on mate ❤

[@SS-vz9iv]

Question Kirk. Were you happy doing the patching as you did or would it have helped with the post taken back off for you, and a dowel of some some sort shoved in the bolt hole?

[@DarrenClark-n4u]

Well done mate. Nightmare to patch that stuff. Top bloke not charging him

[@JohnGodwin]

They wouldn't tell him what product they'd used. That's just so disgusting. To be so insecure about your business that you have to try and strongarm money out of people is embarrassing. Beautiful patch work

[@MalcDavison]

Cost of material (full bag of stucco) and tape plus your hours/travelling..Whatever that works out at is the charge...The fact that you saved the dude 3k is irrelevant. Saludos desde España mi amigo.

[@Ireland-bc2gx]

Well done lads,the landscaper will give your name to everyone 👍

[@ryanking9127]

Class that bud love ya content can’t believe a missed your giver way yesterday on the brushes how do you turn the notifications on lol 😂

[@bneskylights1152]

In australia we have trouble taking gift or charity work. The work around is a 24 pack of beer. The carton gets you places here

[@lovenottheworld5723]

People get too mean. Things like that happen. You'd have to be a real bastard to insist on on redoing the whole wall.

[@dfar2303]

I agree with you on this. Why didn't the original person that did the render, offer to run round and fix it?. I bet they charged enough for the original job. Tight ar5es. Shows what a decent bloke Kirk is, to do it and not even charge.

[@johndavies9624]

Great video 😊❤

[@davidpickard9393]

An honest tradesmans man would charge what it cost not what it is worth. I used to enjoy getting people out of trouble but very few ever returned the favour.

[@andyb7813]

Top job sir

[@johnmckay1423]

Question, not criticism: Would it have been worth removing the post to make it easier to fill behind it? You could bolt the post back on while the render is wet to avoid the risk of repeating the problem.

[@paulhiggins9492]

About 30 quid, you’ll get rewarded ten times over. Good for you pal. Not many of us left .

[@Shayne340]

3/4 visits. Look at the job and get a match. Doin the job and comin back the next day to scrape it off. Then coming back again to see it dried. So unless it’s real close to your house it’s taken you about 4/5 hours plus costs. Good job your making millions off KZbin 😂😂👍👌🏻

[@briankelly6114]

Lovely neat work! I'm surprised you didn't use SBR to prime instead of water?

[@Onthetrowel]

Where the patch joins on the surface would show the sbr mate
