I have said it before and I will say it again. What a fantastic tradesman and a lovely guy also.
Very kind of you to say, thank you.
@@jimichip Your a class act James. Well done!
@@shanechis Agreed 100% A joy and pleasure to watch
@@shanechis cheers.
@@pa4538 many thanks.
Hey JAMES!! .... You've just FRIGHTENED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of 'every' Tacker in the country :-)
A joy and pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman do their job. You guys are helping a lot of people out by sharing your knowledge, thanks!
Great to see a man taking absolute pride in his work, not many left nowadays👍 and Samson was my baccy of choice in the eighties Roger 😉
I'm a service engineer for a large vending company. However, I did spend some time as a carpenters mate before securing my current job. I'd love to say I miss walking onto the site at 7:30 a.m., rain coming down sideways, and being told we are putting a roof on today. However, I don't miss it at all. Got nothing but respect for James, Ian, and all the other trades who work in construction. It's a really tough job and incredibly hard on your body. Also, James really should take on an apprentice. He is a fountain of knowledge and seems to be able to turn his hand to almost anything. Any apprentice he brought up would come out as a very knowledgeable individual.
Gents - your attention to detail is oustanding. Thanks for taking the time to make and share.
I was tempted to have a got at this DIY myself. After seeing all the steps and skill involved, and being able to understand thanks to the great explanation, I'm going to pay a pro to do it!
I wish when I came to uk I would work for people like James and Roger not rough builder 😉 as now having my own business still lots to learn and research to make sure my standards is up to level.
Thanks for searing this my favourite Chanel 🛠👌
I want this man working on my house. Why can’t all tradesman have this eye for detail and pride in their work. Too many cowboys in the trade now. It’s a joke.
All I can say is, damn fine job there young man!
We need more tradesmen here in the US like him.
Thanks mate.
Top tradesman who covers every base, quality James
Why do a good job when you can do a perfect one, the attitude here is as fantastic as the work. Real pro 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Well done James, it’s hard enough to do this type of precision work without a camera watching what you are doing. Enjoyed this episode greatly.
What a pleasure to see this much care and attention being taken to make the job look right.
Absolutely fantastic video. This is brilliant for someone either doing this for the first time, or improving how they’ve been doing it for years to achieve the best possible finish. So well explained and demonstrated by James. Thanks for filming Rog 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
I boarded a ceiling for the first time in a few years last week. Insulated plasterboard like on this one that you've done, i had forgotten just how heavy and awkward the stuff is! There was 3 big velux Windows that I also trimmed other splayed and they looked Ruddy fantastic when it was finished. They take you longer but I feel that it's well worth it as it just elevates the finish quality and let's in a ton of extra light.
Nice work James. 👍😀
Is their anything James can’t do? Absolute genius
Great to see the comments and other people seeing exactly what I'm seeing when I watch these guys. Their motivation is providing the highest quality job, not clashing it in and getting away to the next job. I didn't realise the work that goes into getting the reveals spot on like that. Great finish and worth the effort. Restores a bit of faith in the industry when u see there's still guys out there willing to invest the time to turn out a top job.
Fantastic work. I'm a plumber / heating engineer and this sort of stuff blows my brain.
This guy really knows his stuff!
Absolute joy to watch! Those splayed window openings let more light in and look pukka James. Great to see someone taking pride in their work.
That's a stunning piece of work.
It's amazing how much extra headroom, perceived and real, splaying out the window head creates - can make all the difference. It's also amazing how much extra work it creates and the forward planning needed at framing stage - great tip to leave the horizontal trimmers until the rooflight is in. In the past I've made splayed ply collars and fitted these to receive the plasterboard, bit tedious getting it aligned correctly though. On the upside it gives you the chance to spray foam up the gap between ply collar and framing/adjacent insulation.
Always good to see a fellow musician with multi skills. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks for putting this video up lads.. I needed to see how to do this, as I'm fitting one of these windows and it's good to see how it's done .. Top job James
What a cracking little video! Well recorded, well edited, and educational. Well done Lads!
Such useful knowledge being dropped consistently from you guys! Big ups
Wow! What an absolutely amazing top quality result, real time and effort gone into that
Watching people at their craft really is mesmerising, great video
Nice slow Friday feel to this video. Maybe a couple of pints were had now that you can go to the pub again😉😉. Excellent workmanship by James again.
Lazylad
People kept asking for longer videos on a Friday so we are trying to oblige.
We are trying to do longer videos on Friday.
Good job with the longer videos 👍👍. I don't need to rush my cider whilst unwinding.
Attention to detail 👌🏻👍🏻 Great video!
I'm just about to plasterboard around some newly opened up roof windows and really appreciate the info about splaying the boarding and the inclusion of the dpc membrane which I hadn't given any thought to at all, so thanks for that important tip
Tidy job as ever!! 😍💪🏼👍🏼🪚🔨
Great work James
Always prefer to see window reveals like this splayed.😎 Thanks for the video guys.
Great job James! Appreciated all the tips and advice, Cheers till next time.
Cheers Shaun.
Nicely done chaps. 👊🏻
wonderful to watch
What a good job and such lovely people
I love my multi tool there quality bits of kit for the awkward situations and places
Fantastic attention to detail chaps 👌🏼🤩.
Sorry to be a kill joy but get a mask on 😷😬
Cheers, I usually wear one all the time but it was awkward to have on and off constantly whilst filming.
Awesome to watch. The splayed ingoes look great and do give some nice geometry to the wall. Looks cool!
Great job!! And Cumbria is gods country 😍😁
It absolutely is James Lad
@@iantarncarpentry4285 Tell the truth now. Croydon is more beautiful
nice, lovely skilled stuff & so well explained
Very nice work!! True pros
James, you tried hard to cover up that drift in the DPC cut. I still think you guys do a fantastic job.
😂 I really hoped no one would spot that!
Thanks for being a regular viewer Brian.
@@Argon-Windows-And-Doors-Ltd no worries, I like to see the feedback from the videos and if people have the time to comment then I have the time to reply.
Thanks for these wealth's of information
Spot on as usual
Great job , James. I'm glad to see the return of the roofer, even if just for a cameo. Was he rolling his own ciggarettes?
that looks seriously complicated, yet you make it look so easy, nicely done
Lovely workmanship James. But as someone with a lung condition, that can't go up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath,, ffs wear a mask mate, cutting that stuff with a saw. Your lungs will thank you later on in life.
Nice work! I once worked with a guy who everyone called ‘angles’ the guy called literally work out any angle!!!
He's really good. 👍
Great video boys . Little tip James , use a bradawl when your snapping chalk lines then you don’t need a helper
Good tip, thanks!
This is really great content. It shows a few extra stages that I have recently seen another builder missing such as the DPM and insulation around the reveals. How do you keep up to date on the "right" way of doing things?
Excellent plasterer
Great video, only thing I’ve had before Is the plasterer struggles to nail the bead in the insulation and we had a job crack. So now we perimeter the velux with 2 x 2 to give plasterer a solid fixing. Nice one
Good to know👌 well explained 👍
Great to see someone take so much care with their work. I find it interesting to see bags of multi-finish lying around at the end. With all the hard work being taken in getting this right could the tape and jointing approach be used instead or is there not much difference?
1 second in and smashing the like button 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
We always insulate around the openings to prevent any cold bridging.
Most have shares in foam filler 🤣 Great work!
Nice job I normally fit velux and I do think them keylites are worth a try I like that foam strip around the out side great idea
Wouldn’t expanding foam be the same like around regular window or is that not the same?
@@mrfr87 Everytime I've used expanding foam, it's an absolute nightmare, trying to remove it from anything else it gets on to, that you didn't want it to.
Yes it is annoying. We gave him the video camera the other day to film some core cutting and he got the best shot of the day.
I was gonna ask how you work out the dimension of the rafters/trimmers to get the nice lever aperatures - put the trimmers in afterwords. Excellent 👍🏻
There's always oatmilk 😋
Hi. Great work! How is the Keylite insulation collar for vapour permeability? I am wondering if the VCL could be installed before this was activated and if that would help. Also what are your thoughts on using a VCL that doesn't need the mechanical fixings; sticky stuff might close a few vapour paths. All very minor details.
Legends....❤
Hi Rodger, would you happen to know anything on getting rid of flies sticking around in velux window frames, thanks 👍
How did you insulate the side pieces with them being on a splay? Did you use rock wool for that too?
I think you make to look more hard then actualy is !
We drilled down into the detail of this job because people asked for it. Often videos skip through the detail and viewers are left with half the story.
are you sponsored by keylite windows?!?!
Great work James. Am I right in thinking you have fitted the top and bottom supporting (forgotten the specific name) noggins/rafters of the roof light at an angle to achieve the splayed plasterboard?
Thanks Adam, the trimmers (the word you were looking for) are fitted square with the rafters as they need to be fitted with jiffy hangers. We set them up at the correct distance from the window top and bottom so that the plasterboard fits from the groove in the edge of the window over to the corner of the trimmer which leaves plenty of space behind for insulation.
It's looking really good, except for those darn pillars!
Not only does it let in more light, but it also becomes a feature.
👌
Beautiful. What a craftsman. Bet he’s not short of work?
Super impressed by the standard, but I do imagine for 95% of people on earth they wouldn’t noticed a skilled tradesman putting it in by eye. If it looks right it is right. Doesn’t need to be joinery standard. Especially as the plaster can adjust when plastering. Beautiful work though!
Why not use foil backed plasterboard in reveals, or green moisture board, or even foil tape the roof timbers when taping up the insulation between rafters
Nice work James. Really tidy work. Anyone interested in milk alternatives (which don't go off as quick on site when unrefrigerated) the best brand I have found for Tea & Coffee is Califia Barista Oat. It is as creamy as cow's milk & doesn't curdle.
It’s probably loaded with soy though.
Looks great, my method is similar but we wrap foil insulation around into the windows. Defo not using rock wool tho, more like mineral wool 🤪
Rockwool is mineral wool?
nice work its a pity about the goal posts in the middle of the room
?
So a mental note for the future, if anyone wants me to do this - say no. Thanks for the warning 👍🏻
First for once, used some forgefast screws today I can see why you guys like them
Once you had spax you never go back!
@@Goodwithwood69 Have you tried ForgeFast? Lots of people who have used nothing but German screws have see the light.
I’ve joined the ForgeFast revolution. As promised on several occasions they do indeed drive in lovely and are reasonably priced.
Forge fast for me for many years. Went to get some from toolstation last week and they have been discontinued... Felt like a death in the family
@@JamieVauxnut1 what ! they won't have them anymore ?
If I summon James it doesn't seem to work.
👍
I've got two of these to do. I wish I understood even half if what u were on about
Great work just wear a mask and others will also wear a mask
Love your work, love the channel! Quick question
building regs in devon require all the joints in the PIR board to be taped to create a vapour barrier. I have argued the point with building inspectors and manufacturers of celotext that its impossible to tape the joints when using insulated backed plaster board and have had no satisfactory answers. I noticed you staple the dpc to the trimmers around the window. Do you mastic/ tape the dpc to the pir board or is that unnecessary?
To be honest the vapour barrier will generally leak a little here and there. It is the same with foil backed boards but the joins are over the rafters and the small amount of moisture entering those treated timbers is not going to rot them in a 100 years.
The breather membrane will cope with a fair bit of moisture so it is really a case of doing your best
I Don’t use insulation backed plasterboard as it’s expensive. I have my insulation between the rafters, then insulation boards underneath
,tape the joints then board.
I done a few in the past and the cheeks and ends were all square. I have to say I do like your method, as you say it gives the impression of a brighter room. That's going to be nice up there.
Have I missed the video where you did the insulation in the rafters or is it just insulation back plasterboard?
Tiny Tony
A lot of people trim out the openings square but it can cause problems and all the manufacturers say to splay.
@@jlewis1688 It traps the moist air in the corners because there is no convection flow. This can cause mould to form around the top corners. It also cuts down the light transmission by a considerable percentage, something like 20% of the possible light is lost.
4:48 the top of the pillar behind him is setting off my ocd...... i can’t look at it
It was really annoying me too, I’ve moved them over since this was filmed.
Noticed that to, couldn't stop looking at it!
Where’s James, such a happy guy ❤️
No plasterer has ever gone to this much trouble and is this guy just trying to get use out of that chalk line?
It’s a new toy and like most kids I’ll be bored of it in a couple of weeks.
At 13.55 , the post Ian is leaning on don’t look in the centre, , could James please sort it, it’s bugging me,loving this build👌👍
It’s already sorted as it was bugging me too!
Sorry Ian Lawrence it’s because I keep leaning on it all the time it’s knocked it off centre! Haha!
Those pillars in that loft are a pain, surely the drawf purlin walls are providing enough support for them to be removed? Nice bit of boarding BTW.
You’d think so
I think I met Ian on a couple of loft conversion jobs, did he used to work with his brother? Think his brothers name was ‘Stanner’
That’s the very same Ian! A1 lofts by any chance?
I want to put an skylight at the top of my stairs, which transfers up to the hip end on my end of terrace - how you begin planning on how the roof cutout will line up?
It is all about measurements. You need to find a couple of reference points and work from there. When you take a few tiles off you will then be able to get it spot on.
@@jlewis1688 Good tip
Looked like 12.5mm plasterboard not thermal plasterboard on the side reveal only? I didn't see the insulation for bridging?
Didn't he say that the reveals would be insulated PB?
On a previous video, it was stated that the walls were going to be plastered. In notice that in a lot of US and Canadian videos, they seem to always tape and fill the boards, and not plaster. Is taping and filling not so popular here?
Tape and filling is super rare in the UK for some reason
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT in Scotland its very common.
Taping and Filling is rife in the UK and has been for at least 40 years. Many of the major house builders use it as do all the huge office blocks and complexes that you see. Many people on small developments in the UK use plasterboard followed by a skim coat of plaster. There are pros and cons to both methods . It really depends where and who you are working for to what method of plasterboard finish you will see.
