Re-Plastering BAD Plasterwork | WORST Plastering I’ve Come Across

This video shows us going over bad plastering that was done by a ‘plasterer’ previous.
First we prepped the ceiling and walls with bostik plasterers stabiliser. Then we applied multi finish. (This was some of the worst plastering I have ever come across. The guy worked on the farm and claimed he had plastering qualifications!). Never the less we sorted it out and now looks how it should have first time round.
If this video was helpful or entertaining a subscribe would mean a lot to me. It gives me an indication that I am building an audience and that I am creating enjoyable content and also encourages me to make more videos.
Thanks
Keith & Ryan

Funny thing is that's actually quite an easy job for the less experienced given how its all broken down into nice small sections.

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Yeah exactly that mate I think he must’ve put the whole ceiling on in one hit by himself and lost it hahaha. Should’ve just done it a few sections at a time

[@petemoring67]

THAT!! - Was a HIT!! .... You'll have all the other Plasterer KZbinrs Quaking in their boots - Nice One :-)

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Hahaha this was two separate hits I just didn’t include the trowelling up. So we done half the ceiling first hot then the other half with the square panels second hit. Or should I just play along with it and pretend it was one hit ;)

[@CompetitiveEllisy]

Great video mate, do you ever cover the wood so the plaster doesn’t stain it?

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Thanks mate. Ok this job we didn’t because it’s being sanded down then stained after we’re done but of it was like oak we’d definitely be taping it all up because it would stain oak real bad if we got any plaster on it

[@johnny6722]

Lovely job Ryan & pops just a quick question how long before you can go over the green grit please.

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Thanks mate:) in the winter days the green will hang wet so usually have to skim next day but summertime you’d be fine to skim within the next hour 👍🏻

Well done for putting that mess right. But honestly mate you don't need to pt the grit on that thick should spread it a bit more easier to cover .

Yeah I don’t usually put it on that thick hahaha just wanted to have a good seal because I knew it would suck in fast

[@werdna21]

That looked like a decent job to do. How much did they get ripped off by originally ?

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Yeah I like plastering in between the wooden features it looks so nice once it skimmed in. I’m not sure what he got paid or whether he got paid at all but it was terrible the state he left it in

[@jeffreybresnahan]

Did you just flatten it off, or give it a good wet polishing off, with it be being a rustic property?

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

No the customer wanted it to be normally plastered and finished but I think it would look good either way. Probably look better smooth finished. Personal preference I suppose

[@The-Carpenter88]

You should have seen the plasters who tried to do my house!

[@RyanClarke-photography]

I think some of these guys aren’t ‘plasterers’ hahaha

[@ashleyhorgan105]

Can I ask a question did you green grit this to stop the suction ? Because plastering over new plaster is a fucking headache as I found out yesterday it pulled in like a mothers and was chasing my tail for 2 hours .. roll on a few years when I know this stuff already . Is this the best option when going over new plaster like if your doing what your doing trying to rectify some other divs work ?

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Yes mate exactly that. Was to prevent suction. I’m not saying this is howwww to do it but it’s how we done it. We applied a coat of pva first then we greened over that just to fully maximise our chances of it not completely going on us. Like you said tho this still went off fast on us but the best we could do

[@ashleyhorgan105]

@@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering yeah I thought so . Honestly is the worst when it just pulls in so quick . Also I just want to say thank you for always replying mate helps out a lot . You and kirk from on the trowel are my saving graces atm plastering a hard game but I’m getting there soon I’ll be a Jedi like you both 🤙🏻 and your dad 👌🏻

@@ashleyhorgan105 yeah anytime mate I’m always happy to help we’re always learning in life no one knows absolutely everythin. But yeah overskimming fresh plaster is always a nightmare and always will be just gotta do what you can to prevent it going off on you. If you’re by yaself it’s probably just worth doing a smaller set

[@ashleyhorgan105]

@@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering that’s it mate I’m out on my own most days sometimes I have an experienced plasterer with me he’s cool and really good at his job . But I like to get information from loads of directions so I get a good knowledge of it all as they say “different strokes for different folks” I’m determined to become one of the best plasterers in my area I’m just under a year in and I’m doing ok just stuff like backgrounds/pulling in what to do in these situations but you don’t know till you come up against it all about learning on the job but a few little inside tips help my brother so I appreciate you for that . 🤙🏻

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

@@ashleyhorgan105 yeah exactly that mate everyone always has different ways of doing things don’t they. Keep grafting mate you’ll get there eventually I’ve been skimming 7 years now and still feel like I have more to learn. Always things you’re gunna come across that are gunna challenge your knowledge but that’s how we learn ain’t it

[@21agdmnm]

after stabilising primer you used just 1 coat? Im in a similar boat :(

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

We used one coat of pva then one coat of green grit. Then two coats of plaster👍🏻

[@alistairbooth5509]

What’s the primer..is that same as sbr etc or is that better??

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

It’s bostik. It’s known as green grit it’s good for sealing high suction backgrounds we find it more reliable than pva but it’s a lot more expensive

[@iainwestwood7379]

I bet the skimmer who done that originally fuckin loves you for blasting that all over KZbin....hero👌👍🏻

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Hahaha I bet he’s sweating watching it🤣could’ve been worse I could’ve revealed who he was hahaha

[@iainwestwood7379]

@Ryan Clarke Plastering Alot of chancers out their Ryan 👍🏻

[@davepangolin4996]

Is SBR an option over the grit ?

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Yeah definitely but I don’t think you’d be able to get as much plaster on with sbr as you would with grit as it would go off a bit quicker

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

I did a job last week going over old render and bare grey plaster and multi finish patches, gave it one coat of sbr, and plastered it the next day, there was literally no suction, the hit took just over 4 hours and that was second coating with the same mix (I do this in smaller areas). That green grit is good, I just hate applying it and it’s a pain to go over sometimes. Ryan’s got the rolling of it down to a fine art though!

[@paultweedley2026]

Could you not have just rollered on pva water mix ?

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Yeah you could have but it would’ve gone off stupidly fast so we pva’d it and then greened it. To be honest it still went off fast so I’m glad I pva’d it aswel as greened it

[@stephbhoy1]

Wouldn’t touch that with a barge pole

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

Yeah a lot of spreads wouldnt he’s lucky we covered it up

[@johno2487]

Have to say mate, don't think a spread did the original work, he would be done under the trades discription act. 😅

[@Pinkpanter.plastering]

What a easy job how did it get done so badly and pva would be so much better easier than Thistle bondit and there’s a much better at hardly any cost to that expensive green that has been known to come away from plaster surfaces especially with a glossy paint surface as green wasn’t invented till reslently but I’ve been plastering over 45 years

[@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering]

We pva the fresh plaster then greened over that so it had key and stopped the suction so green didn’t come away

[@Pinkpanter.plastering]

@@Ryan_Clarke_Plastering that’s a idea I’ve not considered well done chap you’re still got age on your side Ryan. I would consider green if bonding was required a old fashioned way is waterie cement and sand and if ur more comfortable with some pva add put on with a roller or brush very good if reskim over plaster will shiny painted surface and left to dry a day and will be just like sandpaper but you gain section we’re green you don’t get that control and your get more sets in and cover more meters try a patch under stairwell first test will help you out one day mate once you tried it you save money to best regards Ryan 🤞👍
