I did plastering years ago, but this guy is a gem and a true gent, i only wished i met him and went with him for lessons in hints tips and tricks.. lovely guy and good video. Always something new to learn..
Great tip there Kirk - We used to use 'Plaster of Paris' and Hessian ... Lay the Hessian, pour the POP - it virtually self-levels - Goes rock-hard in Max 30 mins, letting you get on with the job in double-quick time 🤠
Nice little fix there Kirk that a lot wouldn't have thought about doing 👍
When I was plastering we gave The customer The option of overboarding with wraparound beads on 8 or 12mil boards keep away from original cornice about 5 to 10 mm from the floor after decorated looks like original
This man is a legend, never plastered in my life but I feel like my quality of work is great using all these tips and tricks
Yes kirk well done
Another great video Kirk, you a natural behind the camera.
Very ingenuitive Kirk
Good to see a professional! Top man. 😊
Used to do this years ago using plaster of paris on the lath sets in about 20 mins tops... clean out, support underneath, as in video...moisten lath and just pour in...also used to repair coving
Thanks kirk, lath and plaster is some of the nastiest stuff to work with, we see them in brighton all the time. !! Tc mate.
You do a fantastic job transparrent and hard working
Fantastic job
Fantastic video Kirk. I’ve seen a hundred lathe and plaster repairs from Kirk Giordano, but you’re the first to show one in England. Brilliant job and lovely gesture. I had an equally challenging upbringing and unfortunately my mum didn’t have anyone besides my nan to help, so lovely thing you’ve done. With regards to the van, it’s great when you feel the van pull. I kept having dpf issues with my 13 plate transit, on the end i had it mapped, its not 130bhp from 90 something, goes like a rocket in comparison to before, and is pretty fuel efficient
Cracking work Kirk 👌🏽👍🏼
I was rained off today so im binge watching these 😂
Enjoy mate
@Onthetrowel always do I've picked loads of tips up and really enjoyable to watch 👍🏻
Knowledge is power 🙏💪
Brilliant , just about to tackle a similar job with an old lath ceiling which is loose at the light rose, this video helped a lot
You are the man would have never thought too do this thank you for the knowledge 🙏
Some really good advice Kirk. And we love your choice of bucket 😏🔥
Mate, you are a clever get..hat off to yah😊
Nice one and the bucket buddy is a great idea!
Be honest I can see that you are highly skilled. You make plastering look easy.
Most appreciated
Thanks
Thanks you very much mate
Great content as always would never have thought of that.
Very intelligent plasterer mate the lad you have with you learning is a lucky lad he won’t go wrong iv been doing it 10 years and ya learning me stuff every time legend 💪
Great job, mate. would never have thought to do that at all. I would have just chopped it out ha, thanks for the tip. Good luck with the channel 👍
Kirk great job again keep them videos coming !
Fascinating. Love the solution, very clever
Brilliant idea kirk, love the new intro!!
Kirk , you tuition is amazing , I havnt plastered for 20 yrs due to health , bur could you give me your option of a decent pre worn trowel , as am out of touch , keep it up Kirk your a boss man 💪👊
Kirt ca. I watch ur live vidios even tho im a subscriber or do i have to join ur channel to watch lives iv asked this a few time now just that they never come up wen ur on live thanks too man love the vidios 💯👌👍
Hey mate, lives are Sunday at 8 🙂👍
Thanks for your support mate.
Looking forward to seeing your comments on the live
Everyday is a school day mate mint knowledge with regards to the lath backfill🎉
Ive learned something today 🙂 Thanks Kirk 🙂
Super vídeo learnt a lot 👌🙌
Very informative & fun to watch .
Thankyou, I am trying to get better
Love your banter, çracking Channel 👍
You was sharp there to work out what caused it . Most would of chopped all that off .
Very clever Kirk nice tip. Can you use half time in drywall adhesive i might do a test. But that is something inthink most of us would of just cut it out so another string to the bow an all that. 👍
top video kirk with spot on easy to follow advice. Your videos are awesome keep up the good work.
It's a miracle that it didn't all come down when the joiner chipped the plaster away from the laths.
Really enjoyed that one.
Really agree with the use of SBR brilliant adhesive lot of spreads won't use it cos of the price, ive used it many off time s when rendering
Like how you made sure the laths were bonded and strengthend not many builders or customers get what you're trying to do for the right reason
I knew that the guys that understand how lath and plaster work would understand. People like yourself mate
Good work Kirk
Never would of thot of that,usually jyst re board it, learn something new every day with u haha
Mentalist approach that 😉👍🏻
do you ever use the dirty water in the plaster mix makes it go off quite quick that's all people had to use in the old days before half time was available to use or a bit cement to
Not seen that done for years.
do you do Australia? (LOL) great job, so lovely listening to that accent. :-)
Any chance you can do a video on repairing chases with bonding and multi finish and best techniques to feather in the multi finish cheers
Got anything wed onwards for 3 men kirk weve gone a bit dry 😂
Mild and bitter mix tidy kirk top man
A up matey. Great vid. Logged on Sunday looking forward to live stream..where were you..?? 🤣🤣
Sorry mate, had a nice meal with family for my daughters birthday
Well hope you all had fab time and daughter had fabulous birthday 🎂 🎉👍🏻😁
Impressed with that fix never seen it. Wouldnt the same fix be achieved by screwing the ceiling back up before skimming
My full house is lat and render just like the ceiling in the video, I had every wall and ceiling one coat skimmed years ago but the walls keep getting hair line cracks in them, is the only solution to go back to bare brick and start again or not?
Looking good fella, just subscribed as seen one of your vid thumbnails and saw the FS trade top and figured you where a local fella. Not sure if you ever get involved with fibrous work, but if you don't / get asked to where local fibrous firm. Anything moulding wise internal or external we do it. Plaster, cement, stone, fibreglass etc. 🤟🤟
Please go to my channel description and send me an email mate with your number and details.
Would love to have a quick chat over the weekend 👌
Kirk please use knee pads I started using mine mid 40s ,too late
Good laf
We have the same problem with an 1883 built house, but above our collapsing ceiling is the loft so I could do the same. The only thing is the bedroom ceiling has old wallpaper which I don't want to replace so it will only be plaster from above. However, I am based in Cheshire, Nr Northwich if you are interested in quoting for a job ?
Sure click on my channel description and you'll find me email address.
Send me your name and phone number and we can take a look pal
Kirk What's the mesh you are using? Is this your go to mesh for reinforcing the sub straight? Like on walls before skimming as well as lath and plaster repair? Thanks... and have a great xmas and new year.
Any advice how to stop renderlite taring/sagging when featheredging/ruling off.
I’m I mixing the material to wet or should I mix it stiff and splash some water onto the material once it’s on the wall.
Or I’m I applying it to thick
I’m just seen unable to play around with the gear once it’s on the wall just taring
Many thanks
Well done lad . Nice job. How much was the job?
@5:10 I was just wondering why you would not punch through between the boards and have fresh plaster combing on both sides ?
Theres tradesmen and theres tradesmen and i would recommend any young apprentice to watch this channel.....sound advice kurt 👍
How long do you wait after the first coat?
Didn’t you have any problems with the ceiling going out of shape when you back filled between the joists mate ? Or is that the discolour on the ceiling were you’ve scraped it back
Can you do a video on how to plaster around door frames with 2,3,4 inch gap either end and wats the best tool for the job please
The PVC mains cabling routed through notches in the joists is against 17th/18th Edition regulations. What a horrible bodge job so you would need to recess either side of the notches and get substantial metal cover plates to stop nails or screws penetrating the cables and called 'basic mechanical protection" under regs.
I find every video I've watched informative and helpful. I will subscribe to the channel to continue watching your journey and know each sub makes a difference to all content creators. I Should have the keys in the next 2 days and the first thing I need to do is get the old woodchip shit off so I can inspect the condition of the walls. 🤞
alright big man,was wondering do you ever bother with the stilts?
Would you come to Cornwall to skmi a full 5bed new build. Skim only. 1700 m2 of skimming?
Will you put us up somewhere?
@@Baz1000r my email address is in my channel description pal.
Let's get it done 👍
Hi Kirk how you doing mate. My boss always puts cement in bonding so it goes off quicker, to skim on the same day. Could this cause an issue to the finish on the skim? I'm asking because I skim it nice and smooth, and we've had a couple where once it dries out, it looks a mess like somebody had been at it with a hammer and chisel 😂
If they changed the joists how did they nail the laths back on .... they would have do it from underneath threw the plaster
They must of done mate, or maybe they put a load of screws through and just hoped for the best.
Someone had definitely done something though as the finish below was pink not white
Timber terrorists hahah hilarious 😂😂😂
Went to look at a ceiling in a house in Bath while we were talking to the customer about how we were going to tackle it the whole thing came down, completely destroyed her living room.
Wow 🫣
You should have ripped all that lot down Kirk. I'm not a plasterer myself, but make sure you've got a roll of bin liners with you, and a drink. I've heard that sort of job described as "dusty".
Hi Kirk, lovely little video, a pleasure to watch. I'm interested in your mentoring course, but I'm not really looking to be inundated with work, I would just like it to be more regular, better paying and am happy with just a few days or even a couple days a week as have other things going on too. Might be a stupid question, but is that do able with your course or is it an all or nothing type thing?
Cheers
Hey rich, yes mate of course.
I only take the jobs I want and just tell the others I'm to busy... which I genuinely am anyway.
But the answer to your question is yes, I just show the Method I've used to bring in lots of work constantly. You dechow much of it you want to do
@@Onthetrowel Brilliant mate, thank you. I'll be signing up soon, me Dad's in hospital just now so that's priority over everthing atm. Will sign up when things are settled. 👍
Without the accelerator to add to the plaster, can you use dirty water, so the plaster goes off quicker ?
Yes
Yes but it's a little bit unpredictable mate
How much did you charge for a job like this mate?
Love your content Kirk but don’t think I’ll be giving that a bash lol hope it stays up lol😂
The darkness don't like the light 😂😅
I used to live in a 1920s house with lath and plaster ceilings. It was rented. The living room was about 14.5 x 10.5 feet with a nice little cornice. One Saturday morning I was getting ready for work and there was a massive bang and the whole central area of the ceiling had come down. Me and the landlord tried to work out what happened and came to the conclusion that the heating pipes had dried out the laths and the plaster then detached and the whole lot just fell. It was too much to patch. I wanted to keep the cornice so the landlord paid me to take down the ceiling and board it. I cut around the edge with an angle grinder, took down the ceiling and laths which just left the cornice. When the boards were up the plasterer came and used bonding to bring the ceiling down a few mm of the cornice. He then skimmed the whole ceiling. It actually turned out great and once painted you would never have known any work was done. I tried to buy the house off him but he wouldn’t sell and ended up buying somewhere else. 😂 Thanks for the video, I will feel a lot happier if I have to do any repairs to lath & plaster.
Enjoyed reading that thanks 🙂
No Kieran on that one then .....
Everyday is a school day
It's called the muxhroom effect
I think that's what my apprentice had got
Why not just chop the laths out & plasterboard the area? Surely it'd be quicker & more secure.
Cornice is attached to them laths aswell mate and the customer wanted to keep it
What i do in my house is i rip the ceiling, all of it and install drywall, after that i plaster on top.
Customer wanted to keep original cornice mate
Great video Kirk. Sorry I haven’t had the time to keep up with all your vids lately. I see you’re becoming a pro at editing!
@@MarcusT86 trying to get better 😊
I think that ceiling was probably lime plaster under all the paint....
Yes it was mate
Kirk you didn’t fix the ceiling back to the joists mate.
Well spotted. The ceiling had previously been patched up after the new joists.
When I was cleaning out I noticed that about every 4th lath had been re fixed to the joists from below.
I was happy that once i meshed it that it will be solid.
If you ever wanted to do this without causing more damage below then you could lap the mesh up the inside of the joists and staple it before back plastering but I didn't think it necessary on this little area.
Keen eye though mate 👌👍
Be good if you did a video of what other trades have caused you issues …
Great idea
well no the joiner wouldnt of chipped it off to make it look neater he would of chipped it off so bits of plaster bonding or whatever it is isnt hindering level of joist like, why not just wizz a square of the affected ceiling out and replasterboard rather than going takin up some geezas carpet or laminate floorin to get to the floor boards to then rip that up to then do that lil bit of a job
Would of lost the cornice and customers wanted tk keep it.
Costs would of doubled if I had to rebuild the cornice.
Thanks for the nice comment 🙂
Must be a joiner was it you that done this 😂
@@markrobson9894 aha no but i wouldnt think twice and id definatly wizz off the affected part of ceiling and board it going neat up against the cornice or leaving a couple inches from the cornice, filling on to top of some old laths then doin some mesh still doesnt seem as good of a job as just replasterboardin a section no meither
Wood butchers
Stop saying terrorists 😂
Word of the week.
Hey Sean I know you love United, have you watched that documentary on Netflix about the Beckhams?
For fuck sake!!
I ripped my whole ceiling down and replaced, this video was 6 months too late!!
