I had cracks on the stairs like this. Followed this method from your previous videos at the start of the pandemic. Still not a crack in sight, even with a heavy footed teenager. Thanks your all your tips and tricks, they've been a massive help!
This kind of advice is invaluable on RUclips. Old houses need a different approach, and let’s be honest there aren’t really many of those in America…..

Good tips about how it moves and to clean off the paint. I am not such a fan of using foam in an old house. I would rather use lime plaster as a filler, eliminates the possibility of damp spots whilst foam would create a barrier. As long as organic materials aren't present mould shouldn't grow (as it needs something to feed on I think) but I think there is more risk of mould if lime isn't used.
What tradesperson would I get to fix this issue? A painter and decorator or someone else? Our staircase has really big cracks and I need it sorting before the hall stairs and landing gets decorated. Thank you.

@@Himoutdoors yeah, we have those things in the UK.
Thanks Been watching so many of your videos today it’s given me confidence to deal with all the cracks and gaps on our staircase!
Looks 100 percent better. I like you're minimal intervention approach.
Thank you..
@@PaintingandDecorating Touching up on a textured surface is so much easier than on a flat wall.
@@LS-td3dz yes.. I prefer a textured surface really.. flat walls are hard to achieve.. and always show generally when touching up..
You have to have some of the best skills on the net so patient and calm pleasure to watch as always ty

Judging by that awful artex lashed all over the wall the cracks are the least of youre worries
The overall look of the artex is pretty good... hides uneven plaster and can be better than textured papers... thanks
Yes, artex done properly looks great, just like decorating, diyers, bodger stay well away
@@beecee6850 no it really doesn't and should be consigned to the dustbin of history....forever.
👍👍 Nice Finish
Thank you .
that wall has 3 layers of wallpaper and 10 layers of paint..
What is the best season or temperature to complete this project? Is it best when above freezing outside?
Great fix but I question the customer's wisdom of doing it when the walls are in such a state.
Thanks the walls are not too bad actually on the whole... Old house and the artex sits well .
👍👍
Thank you
