This level of workmanship, finesse and pride in a task like this is what sets apart a true carpenter/ tradesman from a gang of slabbers who come on site and throw up boards as quick as someone can hand them to them.
That's because the lad's on site are getting around 2/3 pounds a metre on the walls and around 3/4 on the ceiling unfortunately
Great, shorter video. As a Chartered Building Surveyor, I always find your knowledge, technical understanding and desire to pass on the information so important in an industry where I find ‘skills’ are just not that apparent and obvious and basic errors made. Keep it going, and I will ensure your videos are pasted on to the younger generation so they know ‘how it should be done. Well done mate 👍🏼
Thanks for your kind words, I want to share these videos as there is a dilution of skills in the UK and we are so far behind compared to Germany for example where the trades are practiced at a far higher level!!
Would have loved to see this velux install from the very begining, to have a better idea of the insulation fitting, and relative position of the structural timbers. Did I miss a video?
Check my previous videos I have featured various stages of the install
I’ve always found that 12.5mm board doesn’t fit right in the velux grooves for the top and bottom board. It leaves a lip for the plasterer so I use 9 mm board for the top and bottom but still 12.5mm for the sides.
Great content mate. Always love watching your vids
Hi Keith, That is so true... I find that I sometimes have to ease the top and bottom to make a good fit.... maybe we should talk with Velux!!!! Thank you for subscribing to my channel for over 3 years too!!!!
Why not tape the velux window to the timber first to make a good air seal. Butting the plaster board up to the window grove does provide a great seal. I have three in the house and they were drafty on a stormy day. I had to retrofit sealant around the window plaster board interface.
Screw gun looks a guddon👍, I don't like to see squares used as a cutting edge I've seen the knife slip on more than one occasion I just pencil mark and cut freehand.
man, rihht side is higher than left side
Hi Robin
You make DIY to your high standard look so easy. Well done.
I have had a velux fitted to replace an old rotting velux. The builders had to cut into existing plaster reveal to get new velux in. now there are mainly small gaps around the whole four sides/ edges where the frame sits , but one part has a recess of 20mm deep. Could I use expanding foam for the 20mm recess part? Or might the expanding foam potentially lift the tiles above and just use polyfilla or even easifill 60 for other gaps?
Thank you
Thanks for the instruction Robin Can I ask, is it best use square edge board when it’s been skimmed ? I think your garden room is the same ! On the few plasterboard jobs I’ve done I always buy tapered edge and get it skimmed should I be using square edge ?
Hi Dan, when you are skimming it really does not matter if you use square edge or tapered edge, the only thing to watch is running a tapered edge next to a corner where you need to fix a thin coat angle bead, this makes the bead sit too flush
@@ukconstruction thanks Robin
Nice robin , did you get your square into production and for general sale yet ?
Excellent job Robin.Good goiing.
ure work is beauty ful, mYbe wen I build my castle and most you can mKe the draw bridge and do all roof work .. lovely ill attempt to recreate ure velux boarding tomoz love the fold for st8 line and 25 battons as a floating support for other board nixe trick.. tata
Good morning Robin Clevite
Great job Robin, your plasterboarding is way neater than mine! I’ve just come back from renovating my house in France including 3 weeks of finishing the plasterboarding. I think you have a big advantage in a new property of being able to lay everything out square and true whereas I was plasterboarding veluxes in an old roof no nothing true and in and around wooden beams which need loads of cutting in.
One thing a builder told me about was to angle the reveals of the velux opening into the room, this lets a lot more light in than having them at 90 degrees, but does mean that there are more angles to deal with in the reveal. Usually ended up with having to box the reveal out with 3 pieces of plasterboard, one each at the top and bottom and then a square one in the middle.
What can you say, Another masterclass !
Robin has the kind of skill that if he threw a deck of cards in the air, they would land suit and number sorted, pure magic to watch
excellent vid robin. have you ever done one involving setting out of a roof with velux windows?
Always informative when watching you work.
There's always a way. 👍🇭🇲
But where is the insulation?Behind the OSB?
Yes shaun
@@ukconstruction do you need to apply a vapour barrier behind the OSB too or does the Insulation foil act as the VB? Thanks
Attention to detail 👍
Robin, excellent video. Question about angle beads. I understand you place corner beads at both sides but what about the spleyed side? Do you put a stop bead there? So 2 sides will be standard angle beads and the top and bottom of spleyed side would be stop beads?
Hi mate, you guessed correctly, we will use a normal thin coat angle bead where ever we can and then the thin coat stop bead on angles etc
Two RC videos in one night! Spoilt 👍🏻
Slow down not finished the last video yet
Hi Mark, I am experimenting!!!
And what about the vapour barrier?
We use a vapour check plasterboard over the PIR
👏👏👏 Always a pleasure to see you work and your attention to detail.
Thank you so much 😀
Super Sunday...... x 2 videos.....👏👏👏
For you Conor!!!
Are you selling your decking tape yet I have a decking job coming up
Check my Amazon store
sometimes the clever stuff, is the simple stuff. very nice Robin pal, ill take this with me ,
True!! Cheers Jon
Hi can international students do diploma in carpentry in there and what are requirements
You will need to self fund your education but the answer is yes
09:20 that wee look direct at the camera when the board held in place, priceless!
Great content again 👌
