There's a lot of snobbery aimed at construction workers. That we're uneducated or somehow beneath other professions. Fact is, some of the smartest people I've ever met are builders/ construction workers. We might not have read the classics but we're constantly problem solving, applying mathematics and geometry, working stuff out and juggling multiple connected factors at any given time. It's a never ending learning process plus it can be physically brutal. I honestly believe it'd take longer, and require a greater IQ, to become a good builder than a good doctor or lawyer. Sometimes when I tell people I'm a roofer they react like I've just admitted to being a career criminal. It's why I hate those programmes on the BBC about cowboy tradesmen. When are they going to make a program where Matt Alright goes after cowboy bankers, journalists and legal professionals? It's middle class snobbery.
Great comment!
agreed! well said ... excellent and true
Working class lives matter
Completely agree. Wisest man I know is a carpenter. Trades have the broadest skill set (trade smarts, math, sales, service, legal, brokering, risk analysis & mitigation, estimating, etc.) & acquire vast amounts of knowledge over the years).
3000% fact!!!
18! That's unbelievable, fair play lad he deserves all the success that comes his way!
Great to see young lads take pride in their trade and you can see Luke is one of those. Fantastic work ethic their too. 👍
Great video Roger, I encounter young folks starting out (plumbing) who are often very eager to work and more that happy to put the effort in. I've realized that often all I need to do is give someone the chance. None of us were born knowing are trade, we all had to learn it somewhere.
Fair play too luke, he's got some great screeding skills there!
The best way to screed is to get someone else to do it😃👍🏻
LOL
Great job Luke, wish you all the best for your future. A grafter with pride in a job done well.
Totally agree Roger; nice to see such a young lad take pride in his work! 👍
He makes it look so easy.
I'm old enough to know it ain't :-)
Great video ,,screeds are hard work moving the 8ft straight edge all day fair play 👍
Hard work that on your knees and back all day. For any one else interested you can also do a bonded screed with tile adhesive and a notched trowel and lay your screed on top while it is still wet, much like the slurry that Luke used in the video. You can also lay an un-bonded screed using a bond breaker such as a layer of DPM where movement may be an issue and reinforce the screed with chicken wire or the like. Cheers Roger
Hi skill builder, I’m a disabled teenager and I’ve always had a dream since I was little of settling up a business in the construction sector. Is there anything I could do to prepare while I’m young. Cheers
I guess it depends on what your disability is, there will be all sorts of physical roles like this, but which I imagine for someone like Luke here might leave him with a sore back at the end of the day, or there will be roles like architects, kitchen/bathroom designers and building inspectors which aren't so physically challenging. :)
thesunreport cheers for replying. I thought I could run the business from home and have some employees working for me to do the physical work. I can’t walk on my own so site work is a no go due to health and safety issues. I’m unsure how to get the ball rolling on preparations for the future and setting up a business?
Get an education on business management , and accounting. It must be run as a business first. Then hire the best craftsmen you can get. Third a top notch engineer.
dielauwen will do. Thank you for your advice
18!!! That boy got skills . What a superb job he made of that . Always nice to watch someone at the top of their game 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
After doing my double length garage floor a few years ago i can vouch that it definitely isn't as easy as it looks - had to take the following day off to recover! He's got a hard life ahead of him. I hope he gets the reputation and reward he deserves.
That's a seriously good job! If they're based in the South East, any chance you could pass on their contact details?

2 thumbs down, they must ex-girlfriends
5 thumbs down now, def cowboys who this lad has put to shame
Probably the same dumbos that give 1 star rating on Screwfix accompanied by a rave review about how it's a great product.
@@snapdragogon69 see that all over the place, it snaps me LOL.
I was always told to toe it into any existing floors ie double depth at perimeter if less than 80mm. Good screeder but he won't be top notch till his arse crack hangs out- his boxers were up to high 😂
Nice work young lad screeding is hard work keeps you fit though 👍👍👍
Great video Roger, that young lad knows how to work hope he does well fair play to him, hope your keeping well Stay Safe
Good young bloke
Always both educational and entertaining to watch your great vids 👍
Roger - where is this young lad based? I have a floor I need screeding (Reigate). If he is not local, can you recommend anyone else? It’s to go over wet UFH and I’m paranoid that the screeders will damage the pipes! Want someone that’s good (and careful!). Many thanks. Neil Q.
He is in Warlingham
He has left his contact details on the comments. I know he will do the job for you.

Luke
Skill Builder super - thanks ever so much....!
Superb job. So nice to see a tradesman take pride in doing a job properly. Fantastic to see a young man master his trade and be enthusiastic about working. I'm sure I have seen this somewhere before?!!! Stay safe ATB
Another great video watching quality trades doing perfect works.
I hope Luke and Lee pass on their skills to others and hope their business grows and grows

yeh, flat work is bomb
Guys, what is the bonding agent called?
18! What a craftsman
Young people should re-think starting a carrer as technicians.Trades should be respected !
One of the best paid trades on a meter price. But the graft the do reflects there wages. If your looking for the best screedrs in the South East check out Harbert floor screeding highly reccomended!
FairPlay to him!! Fed up of having people on site who are just there for the money.
Screedboy not Cowboy - top job that
Good job Luke 👍
I have to agree with you this young lad is exceptional! I worked on some multi million £ houses in Weybridge in the late 90's and the screed was so bad; the symmetrical wallpaper and the radiators looked like they were way out of level!
His parents should be proud.
First class job and nice compliment at end of video.
tough work, one of the hardest and most under rated trades, most plasterers 40 yrs ago could do this work very well, but now, trade on it's own, brilliant for 18yr old
Not sure why anyone would thumbs down that. Great job!
Good job.....hopefully the lad will go a long way!!!
Great video roger,Fair play to the young lad, he deserves the credit,as a sparky myself trying to get my nephew to learn a trade ,you get more out of a brick wall, all they want is easy money without any effort ,luke is an inspiration keep up the good work
Great enthusiasm keep it up that’ll go along way 👍 , age is just a number where as experience is priceless, nice work looks good
Well done young man you have a knack for that job for sure.
Great job there, and as others have said nice to see youngsters taking pride in their work. I've got a small part of a garage floor i need to level at home, but I don't want to raise the floor height too much. What would you recommend I use to take out an 25mm drop over say about a meter? Could I use a screed like this to sort it? Thanks for the great channel Skill builder, I've learned loads from it.
Nice touch at the end there Rodger - i agree .he’s also at the age where he hasn’t got the aches and pains so hell only get quicker and better with nothing holding him back
goodman luke first-class job is done there. keep up the good work
Take pride in what you do and you will never be out of work!
Well done. Mate It’s a killer of a job. Done plenty over the years
My father was a top class screeder, used to travel all over putting in floors, I'm very impressed with this kid, fair dues to him.
brilliant lad when you are good you are good
Nice job Luke, Keep up the good work man!!
Fascinating and enjoyable to watch. That lad has an honest and meticulous work ethic.
Good Effort Luke... Nice Work
Great to see that young being that good, I've seen a few and don't shoot 'em down until I see the graft. Fair play 👍
Fantastic work! Great to see such pride in his work.
Amazing. How do we hire him?
He's fantastic. He's got screeding down. He can do fantastic work now in any trade because he mastered one of the basics of prep work for so many different fields. Concrete,paver stones, tile etc
This is a big problem, when you are young and trying your best, sometimes you only want people to look at your job and be amazed by its quality. But because of your young age, no one takes you seriously. I left a few companies because of this attitude. It can be very discouraging but seeing videos like this makes me think there are a few valuable assets in the industry, I only hope most of them will be smarter and stronger than me and not give up. I can witness that there is a majority of cowboys in construction. Only the ones who really try should remain (my wish😊).
What a top lad Luke is. Amazing work ethic. I hope he continues to be so conscientious in his trade and not just when a camera is tracking him 😂 His parents must be so proud.
Right SB I have just had a screed floor layed in my garage how long till I can walk on paint and park the car on top? Thanks for any advice 👍🏻
Spot on lad, quality work. 👍🏻
That should be illegal, at 18 his body will be wrecked by 40. Get some self levelling concrete on floors that size. So much easier on ur body
There's hope yet when you have young guys like him in the trade.
More detail please? How thick? Composition etc. Unusually, not much help to the novice looking for tips.
Wisdom doesn’t come by age 👌👍
beautiful workmanship 👍👍
There are a lot of good boys out there, sadly a lot will never rise above labourer, cause they cant be arsed , got better things to do , or simply thick as shit . This dude seems to be on track. Stick with it dude. £££££ its there if you want it
WAY TO GO LUKE/LEE!
Talented young man that.
Reupload? I swear I've seen this before
Well spotted. We had to take it down for technical reasons.
Me to!
Thank you Roger for putting the video back up stay safe hope you well
Hi Luke
Dylan figured out a way of doing it. I hope you aren't starving to death.
Well done young man job for life there 👍🏻
Wow. Only 18 years old. I hope he’s stuck with this. He will do very well
Top lad that. Fair play to him.
He really wants to do a good job-- and he does one!
Nice job, well done
I wish I was as good as him when I was 18.
Wow nice work! He is not using pure cement is he? What kind of bonding agent is being used here?
Great job! How do you mix the screed? What are the quantities?
That looked like hard work, good job luke
Fair play to him.. Where's he based ..might have some work for him.
How much screed is standard? My builder put 100mm
Nice job. Great channel 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Joe. I hope you are keeping well.
i was going to screed my own floor but i quit after seeing this. looks like hard work
I wanna see a robot controlled by the laser, to much like hard work for me😏
And how do I book Luke in?!?! Smashing finish!
Wow 18. Mind blown 🤯
Great job
What’s the primer Luke used?
Good lad 👍🏻
Great Video! Luke made it so so easy! Where is Luke base and does he have a contract?
Whats the bonding agent anyone in particular you recommend
Good lad!
Mint job that
Great demo and what a talented young chap. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Luke, can I ask why u don't use PVA as a primer?
He's good because he cares!
Tradesman is actually unisex. Man is Manu as is hands or mankind :-). Just like chairman... though some prefer chairperson.
Edit: age breeds complacency... don't ever let yourself get "old" :-). Always things to learn...
Granted but women can feel ignored by this language so it is good to acknowledge the presence of women in the trades.
Is this narrated by Jason Statham?
18 years old. Good lad. Great job 👍
can't argue with that, he is good.
Great job that
Blimey.. Only 18! Well in Luke
Not knowing what screeding was I thought I'd have a go at it myself!!! That's a definite NO from me, I'll leave it to a professional. Brilliant job Luke. BTW the narrator sounds very familiar
