Tommy's Trade Secrets - How to Plasterboard a Ceiling

[@donbmtm]

I'm about to convert my garage into a man-cave and these video tutorials have been fantastic. Thank you and well done. Great tips.

[@TheOlavarria49]

Damn! Donald, you look like the real Donald...

[@TommysYardchannel]

In the UK we don't use adhesive to fix plasterboard and I've never heard of a ceiling falling down because of it......

[@johndoe-zy4ts]

One of the best videos on You Tube.

[@vaughano2]

I've seen a few vids on ceilings from the UK and North America, but I haven't seen anyone use stud adhesive between the sheets and the joists/studs. Here in Australia it seems to be the recognised best practice.

[@SupaShang]

89 people realised that the ceiling in this video has better cable management than their pc.

[@OldRaver]

Thanks for this! I'm having a mare getting any builders around here to quote/turn up to re-do my kitchen ceiling , so after watching this I absolutely think I can do it with a bit of help from my brother. Problem for me is my ceiling is really high, so will need to hire a raised platform (adds to the difficulty!!) Any tips on replacing a high ceiling using a platform?

[@paddy9i99]

Nice job mate, well presented. Just the clear facts

[@shaunegermain]

That smoke detector in the background needs the battery replaced. Made me think it was one of mine in the basement lol. You hear it throughout the video but confirmed at 11:40 mark

[@richiw]

Thanks for sharing - doing my garage this next week, should prove interesting!

[@michazajac3570]

this movie is good for someone who want to do some DIY. Every dryliner or ceiling fixer will show you how to do it more quickly and professional.

[@kulvi86]

Insulation?

[@andrewpayne6295]

What is the block wall made from that you could drive screws into it so easily?

[@octane321]

they look like Thermalite blocks

[@rayrooney1]

what kind of screws can go into a block wall like that?

[@daviddmf]

great demo thanks! How close to the edge should your screws go? 5mm?

[@TommysYardchannel]

+David Michael Hi David, yes around 5mm is plenty

Excellent video! Thank you.

[@07974722106]

thats an impact driver mate, no question about that. i use an auto-feed screw driver, sooo much quicker and easier.

[@yellomercedes]

Great video thanks for making it!

[@daviddmf]

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but can you tell me which is your preferred plasterers primer for problematic walls. Thinking along the lines of Cementone Stabilising Primer etc there are dozens on the market and not sure if they do what they say on the box. Thanks!

[@aaaaalllss]

+David Michael They are mostly all mostly the same product the biggest difference between brands is the color of them. Personally i use British Gypsum but that only because its the only one my supplier get in. Honestly though you can use normal unibond and dump some sand or bonding in just keep mixing it up so it does not settle at the bottom, dont tell the customer though ;)

[@telosfd]

Nice job. How much it cost plywood 2,5 mm per square meter?

[@1442GlennLane]

Great tutorial. Thanks

[@nazamar8750]

What mm plaster board will I need for my kitchen it is a new built 1 story extension the roof is on thank you in advance 👍🏻

[@nandumaranama4932]

12mm

[@TheWiseOldChinaman]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@adrkanis]

nice professional work and videos . thank you

[@321hug]

Great guide. Thanks very much

[@Mike35858]

Great video, well explained.

[@TheMakyato]

i know each country or region has its own rules but sometimes we have to violate this rules if we find a better way to do the job . i work in many coutrys and i learn many thing but i also find many contradictory ruls and ways to work so i take any information and i use how i think is better ,now to the point -do you think is better to leave space between two gyps boards in order to to fill with plaster between

[@nazamar8750]

Video on point can't wait to do my ceiling 😅

[@aaronwildeofficial]

I rarely use a tape measure to replicate a short to medium measurement. It's more accurate to use a length of wood and mark it, or even just dig my fingernail in. Using a tape measure you are building in extra layers of error/approximation. Plus my method (the medievel geometric method) is quicker.

[@truebro77]

Tom's a good helper!

[@VasilyKiryanov]

As to my experience there's always enough a gap between any drywall boards for the plaster to get in between and through.

[@yocz2007]

Thanks for for the great infos man!

[@MrHavokman]

That's an impact driver

[@goosetechtv804]

Brilliant vid, top job....although text book procedure would leave a 2mm gap between joining boards. Very useful and informative tho!

[@sahelrain1946]

+Rob Blakeley What can be the effect of not leaving a 2mm gap?

[@fabinhonz73]

thanks mate,tomorow i will star i new job

[@TheAudiostud]

L696, Thanks for producing a great Vid!

[@1954BJohn]

Thx Andy

[@tradepro8242]

great video

[@dannywall2218]

What thickness of plasterboard is needed for ceilings 9.5mm or 12.5mm ?

[@SYOTOS1807]

15mm

[@sahelrain1946]

+Charlie Barnes The DIY shops stock 12.5mm and 15mm for ceilings, is the variation for different ceilings or are you saying 12.5mm shouldn't be used?

[@SYOTOS1807]

+Aspy Rationz on site we use 15mm on standard house ceilings, and fire pink boards if top floor 3 story or top floor flats, sometimes use 19mm depending on the site and type of house

[@SYOTOS1807]

+Aspy Rationz we do use 12.5 but mainly on stud or sometimes to double board certain house type ceilings

[@sahelrain1946]

Do you also use screws rather than the old zinc clout nails? I need to board a ceiling over laths without risk of disturbing the old coving bordering the ceiling space, I thought the screws shown in this video might be the best option. Cheers.

[@tigertruckerman]

top teacher top video

[@Z3n1tHL0rD]

The noise is the clutch its not an impact driver, the plasterboard is very soft, the screw would go right through it if the clutch was not set correctly.

[@mikewatte4478]

where is tommy

[@craciundaniel7413]

nice presentation. the screws i think are to long[ just my opinion]

[@leobluesy]
