This was a really useful and helpful video. Very original, no BS! I'm in the process of decorating my kitchen, had paint and 2 lots of wallpaper, holes, old plaster, new plaster. This just about covered everything. I'm going to line it too. First time!
Thank you so much for the vid. This is a job (Of many) that I need to do. But had no idea where to start. Renovating a whole house solo gets overwhelming but now I know how to do this job and which tools & products to use as well as the process. Invaluable for me so thank you again.
Thank you so much for this! I'm repairing and priming a room for painting in a 19th century house, and all the videos I've been finding are for repairing brand new plaster. This is exactly what I've been looking for (though I'll have to find the American versions of the materials you're using 🤔)
Great video, but seriously gotta bin off Polyfilla. Toupret is a far better product. TX110 has no depth limitation. Absolutely no need for undercoat plaster with it. Massive time saver.
Yip. Toupret has been the only products for me for two , three years. Tx110. Is superb. But for that job I’d use decorators skim coat. No need for PVA. Try it out. You want use anything else.
Please why do you not use SBR instead of PVA to seal the walls? Please why is it best to prime the wood before you seal the wall with PVA? What is the problem with PVA or SBR on bare wood? Many thanks for your kind guidance and great videos.
Thanks. I've dry removed some old wallpaper from a really dry wall. THe plaster underneath is still stuck to the wall but there are loads of fine cracks. Any suggestions? Would it be ok to walpaper over it? Better still, do you have a vid on it?
Am a plasterer. That wall will dry the background wall. Retaining and drying out wall. . . That wall wall will crack in 6 to 12 months. Sometimes u can get away with it. I'd advise take of. I've seen it to meny times .
Obviously a keen DIY enthusiast, but you would probably benifit a great deal from watching time served tradesmen carrying out these kind of jobs, would save days on jobs.
No you certainly wouldnt do this if you were going to plaster the whole wall. Thats the whole point of plastering You be there about 3 or 4 fills like this and still need to line it.
I have sanded 240 grit wood to mirror finish and damped down to remove the dust , unfortunately the grain has lifted so got a rough surface for painting . How to avoid this . The painted surface has also been sanded to mirror finish and damped down to remove dust and ready for UC - no problem on this surface
I'd have just ripped that skirting off, bonded the missing bits and skimmed it all up, thrown some new skirting on. Job done and would look much better imo
I agree with you guys. Id have had that done in a day, all new skirting and all freshly skimmed walls looking noicee. None of this polyfillered crap and ancient mullered skirting. Hes blatantly going to have to lining paper those walls too looking at the state of them. Bet hes just talked the customer into the fact its saving money when in reality its taken longer to cockabout filling and sanding back etc. Plus those corner beads will crack with wooden beads and polyfiller because its not flexible at all! Should have used toupret atleast lol. Skim and be a much better job not some bodged painting and decorating cover up
@@PaintingandDecorating why not just do it properly though, new skirting and skimmed up? Couple bags of multi, pot of pva and some cheap mdf skirting will make a much nicer job
@@PaintingandDecorating cheers for the response! This is such a great channel, every time I’m about to tackle something a bit overwhelming I watch a few of your vids and suddenly everything seems a lot more manageable 💪🏼👍🏼
They're not as practical. You have to faff about cleaning them. The metal nozzle is not good for getting in all the nooks etc and if you add the flexible end it makes it too long and unwieldy. Foam guns are good for big areas on industrial work where you're using lots but not on domestic jobs like this. I've used both and for domestic work it's the disposables ones like this ever time.
@@MrJimtimslim not necessary to clean them, at least the one I have. In fact it's recommended to leave the can attached. Only time you run cleaner through it is when you change cans. You can leave it for months before you need to clean if you're on the same can. Worth every penny. It also comes with the same flexible attachment.
No you would have to remove skirting and picture rail to get levels right... just wait and see how it looks with some lining paper on, for half the price.
@@PaintingandDecorating u don't have to take th skirts off do u think every wall plasterers do have th skirts off, all them cracks you've filled with filler will crack out again. they shud have all been scrim taped and skimmed over for a propa job, deinatly not for half th price either be th same if not cheaper quicker and easier to have it plastered
@@PaintingandDecorating i agree if its all blown off or loose but not many houses want all there walls taken back to brick unless completely needed, not doubting ur work mate am sure it will be a good job once you've finished just personal opinion thinking get th rails hacked off scrim all th cracks and skim paint wud leave a much nicer finish then having to wallpaper over all that

Great video as always!

TX110 every time.......no need for skimcoat or undercoat plaster. Another great vid fellas!
This is a very good tutorial for me thanks everso for sharing Stay safe
Thank you... you're welcome.

@@stevenmcfarlane8831 Which brand skim coat chap? Always on the lookout for new decent materials.
@@acropolisnow9466 hi. Toupret.
I love videos like this it helps me out so much as an apprentice.
Thanks your welcome
Then you are in big trouble.
Great videos so the first filler is because it dries fast. It would been great to found those videos 20 years ago thumbs up
Thanks 👍
Please why do you not use SBR instead of PVA to seal the walls? Please why is it best to prime the wood before you seal the wall with PVA? What is the problem with PVA or SBR on bare wood? Many thanks for your kind guidance and great videos.
You seal the wood because if the water goes on the bear wood it will soak in to the wood so seal it to protect the wood from getting wet
You guys take on some very hard projects

Roll on the next one
Thank you
as always great tip enjoyed the video.
Thank you.
Great stuff.
Thank you
Would like your advice on door hinges, should I paint them or take the old paint off and leave natural? Really finding your videos useful. Thanks
take the old paint off Natural always looks best
Gauge your mixing water pva. Along skirting board just use undercoat plaster?
Obviously a keen DIY enthusiast, but you would probably benifit a great deal from watching time served tradesmen carrying out these kind of jobs, would save days on jobs.
If you are going to plaster the whole wall, do you need to do this first also? Thank you!
Yes totally no good plastering over cracks.. they will come back.. thanks

Hi, could you add the names of the tools used in your description bar please? :)
And thank you this video. It was exactly was I was looking for!
Is that plaster on lath or brick ?
Try toupret filler it’s brilliant and any depth
Great video fantastic job stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thank you.
I'd have just ripped that skirting off, bonded the missing bits and skimmed it all up, thrown some new skirting on. Job done and would look much better imo
Thought the same myself, probably quicker as well👍
Yup, feel like this is a temp fix that takes longer than doing the job properly 😬

@@ep91monster its my own bedroom so only perfection and it will last.. being doing this for years no complaints... we also can keep an eye on it.

What is that dark grey plaster? We’ve got a few patches of that in our house… weird stuff
Pure gypsum is white but impurities colour it grey brown or pink. Thanks

Is plaster the same thing where you live as it is in America?
I think they call it mud in some place's..
💯👍👍
PVA or Zinsser GARDS ?? don't get why you coat the wall in plastic, decorators are obsessed with PVA. Yes I'm a decorator.
How come those walls are yellow?
It's just old paint.
Please adopt me 🥺
artisan tier
You guys are real pros.
What a bit of !@#$ about bead bound and skim done
Why don't you just get a proper foam gun with the amount of it you use
They're not as practical. You have to faff about cleaning them. The metal nozzle is not good for getting in all the nooks etc and if you add the flexible end it makes it too long and unwieldy. Foam guns are good for big areas on industrial work where you're using lots but not on domestic jobs like this.
I've used both and for domestic work it's the disposables ones like this ever time.
This is the cleanest and best dispenser of foam bar none. Don’t buy anything else, used it for years.
