Shocking Plastering After New Patio Doors

[@carguyuk7525]

Excellent work. Thanks for showing what can be done with skill and care.

[@nigelwilliams7403]

Here is a craftsman at work. Kirk takes care and skill to complete a tricky job, and keeps his customer happy. Well done mate

[@StevoGreen-bv2gf]

Im 37 and am new to plastering.. ive been installing resin floors for my entire working life and just always fancied trying plastering!! The friend i woek with is a fantastic plasterer and is and has learnt me so much all ready but also youre videos really do give me a great insight into the trade and the little tips ALL work amazingly well. Thanks so much for youre time and effort in making these videos brother they really do go along way!!!!

[@michael-james1970]

I've never done any plastering in my life and I doubt I ever will but I really enjoy watching these videos. Always good to learn somebody else's trade.

[@gregc7699]

I have couple times I'm awful it's definitely an art

[@volksy-vh5sl]

Been plastering 34 years myself come across hundreds of plasterers in my time some very good some very poor gotta say Kirk is a great plasterer I’ve picked up some great tips from his videos myself his technique on hand cove ceilings is brilliant keep up the good work mate 👍👍👍

[@buaan]

This is excellent, just amazing work. No bloody cleaning up to do as a client, no scraping back plaster off your PVC, no splashes all over already plastered/painted walls or skirtings. Proper job.

[@Stewart_Bell]

Never mind the chit-chat (or not) it's really interesting to hear the sound of the work. The sound of tools is really important and it's missed on a lot of KZbinrs content. Great stuff as always.

[@GeoffAnderson-l5d]

I agree with this. Sometimes, depends on what's actually being done, it's better for people learning to 'hear what the trowel is doing' more than it being talked over.🙂

[@anthonywood7844]

Obviously this is a bloke who takes pride in his work and showing how it should be done.

[@peterbutler256]

I remember years ago a friend of mine was learning his trade as a carpenter. He told me about an older man who worked around the sites whom he met. A lot of young trainees didn't like working with him because he was a perfectionist in his work whereas they just wanted to quickly throw something up and move on. One example he heard of was when working in an attic space a young trainee said we can just throw in a quick fix and get out and the older man said no. The apprentice argued that the owner won't see it and won't even know it's there. The qualified guy's reply was "I'll know it's there" - nothing else needs to be said really.

[@qualitykez]

Attention to detail is second to none Kirk 👏🏻 lovely job

[@twelveightyone]

Love it, love just watching a master at work with no commentary or music. Very therapeutic.

[@tropicalreeman]

Being a floor heating technician i am proud of my own skills and the high quality work i deliver, but i can also truly appreciate and enjoy the craftsmanship of other professionals. This guy knows how to do it right and that in itself is increasingly harder and harder to find. New technicians that want to learn the trade and want to deliver quality work are very very hard to find nowadays. Good sir i salute you.

[@nitro76622]

Both styles work, this is more relaxing, i wouldn't say you need to be completely silent as the sporadic instruction is very useful. Banter or no banter, you're the best. I used to plaster about 10 years ago, now just enjoy watching someone else do the hard work. I never liked doing wet corner on wet corner, but you make it look easy

[@SidneySmith-b8i]

Good to see you removing excess overspill plaster from upvc frames etc. as a painter and decorator, I always have to remove it to get a clean line our else it looks terrible, in fact I’m painting a newly plastered bedroom next week and I can bet I’ll have to clean the areas where the plaster has been left on the upvc etc.

[@nitro76622]

What sort of cloth was he using or do you use to clean?

[@utube1818]

Plasterers are usually the dirtiest b*****ds on any building site, leaving plaster over the floors, the windows, window sills. I even had a plasterer hold an alarm wire to the glass with a lump of plaster. Its nice and rare to see one that cleans up after themselves.

It’s not a case of want but I case of being unable. Wages haven’t had a meaningful increase in decades don’t forget.

[@HHHHHH99999]

Asking for 300quid a day is being underpaid?

[@Onthetrowel]

300 minimum 😅

[@GeoffAnderson-l5d]

@@Onthetrowel I have to agree as well. Let's assume we are talking about a GOOD plasterer. Look at what a customer gets for their money. Look at the knowledge involved to do a GOOD job. Look at the physical effort involved. Look at the cost of tools required....I could go on. Compare that, say, to the 'computer man' I had round last year, just to give my computer a 'tidy up' and general check-up. £70 PER HOUR. Of course, he has knowledge and the skills required but who is to judge who's worth what? As for Kirk as an individual, look at how much he does in a day to earn his £300 (minimum)! 🙂

[@Playoutsquadfan]

Its not about experience its about the size of his willy .. thats why kirk is on £120 a day

[@jamieridington5176]

Holy cow, that finish didn’t happen by accident, every move, every step screamed experience. Loved the thumb nail cleaning trick. Your a rare craftsman doing an under appreciated trade.

[@sa3kes111]

I bought a 60's bungalow and I'm 100% convinced my windows are fitted without cavity closers, and I was thinking of doing what you did there. Gives me the confidence to do it now that I've seen you do it. Masterclass of a video!

[@RoverMan85]

[@Harley-ir4er]

That's the way to do it. fitting the cavity closer and the dry lining will no doubt prevent cold bridging which leads to mould. It's taking the time to do it which is missing from a lot of trades these days. This was a master class in how to do it right. Thanks for posting.

[@youtoob1811]

If only all plasterers practiced this level of care and attention - a treat to watch. Doing up my place and I've been through 4 plasterers in the last 2 years and only 1 was even remotely acceptable (all highly rated). The amound of sanding, filling, and even patching I've had to do is shocking. Cleaning up those internal angles? No chance. Fading out the plaster by the architrave? No chance (ended up putting planters in beforehand). Cleaning up the windows frames? No chance. Fading out to where skirting goes? No chance - nice big step to give you wonky skirting. Clean finish around sockets and pipework? No chance, the apocolypse finish is good enough!! Domestic plasterers are by far the worst trade in terms of quality. Massive skills gap in the industry.

[@core-element]

I am DIY but got loads of friends n family with houses needing work, done plenty of windows doors and plastering jobs. I do all door and window reveals with plaster backer board, the insulation type, foam it on add a couple of fixing tile straight over, my favourite is to line out with 25mm PIR if at all possible, tile board comes as thin as 6mm, very handy. Where do you buy those big fat water brushes?

[@Umski]

Lovely plastering 👍 - I am curious about the cavity closer though - it was only part of the way up and it seems to be that this will still cause a cold bridge along with the fact that it wasn't installed before the doors went in which are attached to the brickwork and that it is not sealed to brickwork either inside or outside - I may be mistaken but I would have thought that the purpose of the cavity closer is to form a closed junction that prevents thermal bridging between the cavity and inner and outer brickwork through being sealed?

[@Onthetrowel]

I had a bit to do that day so I didn't have time to take out the doors to fit a bit of plastic. It's not really my job but I've found if I don't do it then nobody else will. There was one behind the original reveals but not where the wall used to be. It doesn't have to be airtight it's just to stop the reveal getting cold, it probably would of been fine without it as the cavity was full of wool but I did it just to be safe. We've just got to do the best we can with what we've got when we arrive. Again it would be great if everyone did their job like this but that's the building trade for you

[@Umski]

@@Onthetrowel sorry wasn't a criticism of your work - the window people should have done this - no point in putting in A-rated frames and glass when all the cold creeps in around the sides! Like you say it's the building trade...but everyone needs to do their bit - no doubt you'll get the blame when they get mould around the reveals!
