I find myself watching your videos event for jobs I am not doing... just because of the little tips and tricks you provide. You're a credit to the DIYer and my first go to when I need to do a job I've never done. The breadth of jobs you cover is fantastic and this channel is truly brilliant. Thanks!
Thanks so much Gerry. I'm truly humbled by that. If this comment function didn't exist I can honestly say I would have given up doing this years ago. You guys keep me incentivised and inspired with your words of thanks and encouragement. Can't thank you enough 🙏
Thanks for making this video series; I own a similarly old house with very similar cement render issues, so your advice has been very helpful to me.
You changed my skillset completely with the silicone tutorial. Now this, when I'm turning to my cracked render! Onwards and upwards.
Thanks Sam. Glad to hear it 👊
If only all DIY videos were like this! Expert advice given honestly concisely and most of all intelligibly. I’ll be back🙏🏻👏🏻😊
Just bought my first house and need to fill a few small cracks and this video was a great help on starting. Thanks 👍
Im glad i found this page as i used the knowledge i have gained to help fix my mums house and am now going through again to look at better fillers as the tetrion my dad bought on recommendation has completely failed
About to start repairing my render so this is just super useful info. Thank you Charlie
Thats a lot of very helpful information in one video!
No boring or useless detail and straight to work. Thankyou 👍🏼
You're welcome. Thanks 👍
@@CharlieDIYte Great video, clearly explained and to the point. How have the crack repairs held up, 2 years down the line?
Great vid Charlie,,, gives us plenty of options of what to use and how to do it,,, building materials can be so expensive these days and by showcasing them the way you do gives us a better chance of picking the best product and the best type of tools to use,,, and saving time and money. Well Done.
Thanks Ray. Really appreciate that 👊
Really useful tips to take into some exterior work this year👍🏻 big fan of the toupret masonry filler used before and never really changed!
Thanks. I agree, it's good stuff, that Toupret. 👍
Another great video! Cleaning up abs painting my iron downpipe is my next job, so looking forward to that vid.
Thank you for this excellent video, exactly what I needed to know, well presented, honest and informative. Keep them coming! Hope toupret are watching because you just sold their masonry repair product to me 👍
Get in! I need to do this but haven’t been sure what to do!! I look forward to watching!

Thank you 🙏 I’m painting a bungalow with cracks and found this a lot of help.
It's the best way to do it Mark and that Emperor paint is insanely good ruclips.net/video/zw_8YVFKY1M/видео.html 👊
I wish you did this video a year ago Charlie, would have served me well to sort the render at my house. Very useful video.
Thanks. Yes, the poor guy at Chemfix has had to be very patient. He sent those tubes to me about 3 years ago!
I learn something new in every one of your videos. Thanks.
Thanks Ian. That's very kind 👊
TOP TIP: I always save old silicon tubes after use. Unscrew the nozzle and push a long rod down the inside of the main tube to force out the internal plunger bung. The silicon will dry after a day or so and is easily removed as one piece with a stick. When the silicon is dry in the nozzle, screw a long screw into the threaded end and pull it out as one solid piece. I then mix cement (or in your case the powdered render) and spoon it into the tube. Tap the nozzle end on the ground every now and then to compact it. Finally push the internal plunger bung back inside the end of the tube. You can now use it to quickly fill deep cracks like repointing between bricks of as in your rendering. I use the same tube over and over again by refilling until the job is done.
Great work Peter. Thanks for sharing 👊
@@CharlieDIYte Great video, clearly explained and to the point. How have the crack repairs held up, a year down the line?
Been painting our pebble dash with sandtex trade ultra smooth. Dries to form a rubbery finish and found the sprayer will fill some cracks. Definitely easier for for people like me suffering from carpal tunnel and seems like you get a good thick coat compared to a roller which can pull the chippings off. In some cracks i also bedded a few chippings in with filler. And on some bare patches i gunned a few blobs of filler that look like chippings - if you do this low down you need a few coats to make it more convincing but works fine for bits that are higher up. Only the 3rd coat to do in a few areas, glad it's done before it gets too hot. I bought a Wagner 350M, it sprays 40% diluted first coat on fine, but struggles a bit with the 10%. Have to do it a little at a time but keeps you being thorough.
Spurred on by your video, I finally got around to fixing a couple of cracks in the rendering on our house. One was near the join between the extension and the house but the extension was built many decades ago so I think the crack is superficial and stable! Anyway, the Metoset did a great job of filling it and making it watertight - and I'm glad I bought a geared gun for it). I did start to press some gravel into the Metoset when I had applied a short section but this was messy and not very effective and I decided just to rough it up a bit with an old putty knife and a wire brush and that made it blend into the surrounding pebbledash. It will need to be painted at some point but that's a whole different job.
Great work, Alan. It's fantastic stuff isn't is. Well done getting a geared gun. Makes all the difference. Yes a few people suggested I could make a mould to press into it but you can't really do that, you have to tool it as best you can and then leave to set. I'm my next video I'll show how I ground it with a mortar rake tool on the grinder before painting.
Thanks Charlie, your videos have come in handy more than once, and sorting cracks in our rendering is my next big job. Cheers!
Thanks Henry. Good luck with the repairs 👍
Another great informative video Charlie - nice one. 👍
I love the fact that everyone's next job is your latest video - myself included 🤣🤣
Gosh to hear that, Dave. I'm just wondering whether that Toupret would squueeze out of an old caulk tube and austerity you can buy empty ones. Might be worth experimenting 🤔
Very useful thanks, I'm looking to use the Toupret masonry filler to repair bits that have fallen off the front of our 1800s Welsh stone cottage. Also thinking of using a modern and hopefully breathable masonry paint instead of the lime wash I used (not very successfully) a couple of years ago,
So much info!!! Don't need it now but have a feeling will need it anytime! Thanks Charlie!
Thanks Garviel - good to hear from you 👍
Really satisfying to watch this
Just about to start identical project video has saved me a lot of research and trial and error Top man thanks
I've got to say, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Using that raking tool to sand down the edges is important and also extruding a decent amount before you start as there is one section that I don't think mixed properly. 👍
Thanks Charlie, Toupret masonry repair filler is great stuff!
Love Toupret products. So much better than normal merchants products
I don't have render on my house but you never know when you might need to fix cracked render. Love this channel.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. Just had a load bearing wall removed and I'm going to use this to fill the cracks upstairs.
Really good video, very helpful for a future project I have.
Awesome video! always love watching your informative videos.
Thank you 🙏👍
A brilliant very informative well presented and well put together video. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Billy, you're very welcome, thanks for the comment 👍
Congratulations on the 266K subscribers Charlie, I still owe you one for all the scribing jobs I done with your help. 👍
Thanks Scott. Glad you've found them useful 👍
It's uncanny how Charlie is always doing the same things I am at the same time, just bought the motar rake disc and spidle things a week or so ago to do some pointing, nice work again.
Ah, glad to hear that. Poor old Chemfix have been waiting about 3 years for this video, so I'm glad the timing has been a bit better in your case 😉
I was thinking exactly the same thing! I’ve got some cracks to deal with and this is so too timed
Exact opposite for me... I've just paid to have mine done
Thanks Charlie. As always very informative.
Thanks David 👍
Thanks. I've got some cracks starting to form and I love the tip about getting rid of ivy with the wire wheel grinder. I've got one already for rust removal so will attack the old climbing hydrangea with it
Good work 👌
Just in process of buying a house with cracked render and this video has settled my anxiety! Top man thank u
Thanks. Good luck with the repairs. 👍
Thanks so much for posting this. My husband and I have been getting quotes to re-render our new home but after watching this I’m definitely tempted to give it a go.
What have you got to loose , £200 in materials and a couple of weekend. Go for it. Just give it a knock all over to check it isn't excessivly blown.
Hello, buy a multi speed 4 inch grinder less snatch than one going around at full speed. 110v
@@stephengeraghty3368 True dat. If your a noob, deffo diamond disks as they are very forgiving on breaking up into pieces. And a gutless grinder. Take your time, let the tool do the work. Your not paying by the hour or paying by price, DIY is free labour from your free time. Enjoy it and take your time.
Great suggestions there. Only thing I'd say is that these 18v grinders are pretty gutless anyway - particularly things like that JCB, and the Ryobi has a safety system that shuts the tool down when detecting a jam.
Very useful. Thanks for this!
I used two pack car filler on a similar wall over ten years ago. Still looks good.
Does it sand down okay?
I’ve had an almost exact same experience with these products. The fibacryl is crap -both out the tube and out the tub, which is surprising because Toupret is my go to brand for filler and I use all their other products apart from their wood filler as it’s just a bit too porous. I had render cracks to fill on a job in June and used the rawlplug styrene free polyester resin, which worked just as well. What I did though was tool it down first with scraper then gloved fingers for the lip edges, then when it’s cured, I caulked the whole surface of the resin and smoothed it in So it matched the tyrolean. This tyrolean appeared to have been painted many, many times tho as was all soft bumps which was why the caulk method worked so well 👍
Great videos as always I’ve learnt so much Thank you Charlie
You're welcome Steve. Thanks for the comment 👊
Some pretty great insights charlie. Pretty clever on the repair of cracks actually I want to undertake it in the coming week. Thanks mate🙏.🇰🇪❤️
You're welcome Morris. Thanks for the comment 👊
Thanks Charlie , thats brilliant advice.
Well timed and well informed, thank you!
Thanks George 👍
great job Charlie.
always find your vids helpful. thx
Great vid Charlie, just moved into a place that has all of these issues so have put my order in for the repair resin. Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome Jonathan. It's great stuff - you'll love it! Good luck - let me know how you get on.
love the video, really appreciate your honest and unbiased approach.
Thanks 👊
Inspiring video - thanks.
Hi Charlie glad I’ve watched this video… I’ve got a similar job to do on my rendered bay window… only got the one crack and I was going to use the fibacryl… now I’ve changed my mind to the meto set resin! Cheers mate. Looks good stuff!
Thanks Marc. Yes the Metoset is truly awesome. You won't be disappointed 👍🏻
Great video Charlie, some great tips and tricks.
Thanks 👍
Thanks Harry 👊
Very helpful video thanks
Great info and video Charlie, cheers 👍👌
Thanks mate 👊
As always thanks for the video Charlie, got a job to do which is very similar to this and I'll be using the Metoset for sure. I've used the tyrolean with an adhock flicker AKA a floor scrubber with stiff bristles and the action is that of a cowboy shooting a pistol; from the hip of course lol! works really well as a texturiser
Cheers buddy and good to hear from you. Great improv. 🤣 I've bought a Tyrolean flicker - I think it's from Faithful and will be using it in the summer. 👍
It's amazing,I love it
Great video! I've got a load of blown and cracked sections. I also need to replace windows in the near future, so I'm tempted to wait it out and get a full re-render after the windows go in, rather than repair and get it painted. Something to consider though, thanks for the information.
Yeah do that, i had windows installed and the render came off in some places.
Thank you dear, that was a really informative video….keep safe as always from South Africa
Thank you Val. Great to hear from you, as ever!
Thank you for video, very informative. This will be my big project ever
You're welcome Kim. Well worth doing. It still looks great now.
front of my house needs doing and we were a bit un sure to try it our self's but after watching this video we are going for it.
Good to hear it June. Good luck with the repair 👍
Excellent review and tips Charlie as always!
Got to be some way of putting Tourpret mix into a nozzle applicator to enable quick application in those cracks! The things that keep me awake at night!😴
You can buy empty mastic tubes. Or use a mortar gun.
Yes, I don't know why I didn't think of that, to be honest. You'd need to experiment with the consistency - maybe make the mix a bit wetter, but even an old caulk tube would do the job, with a nice heavily geared gun!
@@UberAlphaSirus I keep all the empty silicone tubes in case I need to fill them up with some stuff
Great Vids and Tips, subscribed !
I've found it beyond useful. Many thanks
Hilarious that this was just posted 3 days ago: noticed some patches of penetrating damp creeping through to the wall in the kitchen, inspected the render directly outside and some some fairly minor cracks across the same area. This has given me some ideas on how to go about fixing it.
That's pretty much why I started filling them back in 2010. Good luck with the repair 👍
@@CharlieDIYte That's good to know I'm on the right track, already ruled out the roof being an issue. Old houses, eh?
Very handy tutorial. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment 👊
Just discovered your channel and subscribed, very good clear advice
Thanks, really appreciate the sub 👊
great video Charlie.
Thanks mate. Good to hear from you 👊
I used a Dewalt multitool to grind out the cracks. Far less dust using a mortar tool. Using hard filler in the resultant crack may produce another in time, as temperature affects the render by expansion of the material.
Thank you so much, this was very helpful
You're welcome. That metoset is fantastic stuff. Massively recommend!
The Toupret Masonry Filler certainly looks much slower to apply, but with the technique of touching up with the spnge and toothbrush, I think the finish came out the best out of the lot.
Maybe go with the tube application and have someone go behind with a Sponge and toothbrush to blend the finish to look like the render?
Great job as always 👍
Thanks. Yes I agree. Someone has suggested putting the render into an icing bag which is a great idea. Other option, put it in an old caulk tube although thinking about it, it might be a bit too thick to extrude.
Thanks for some great tips/product reviews. Had flat render to be repaired. Soon settled on the Metoset to do the deep cracks ( but not flush) and used the Tourette’s on top so it could be sanded. Note - you definitely don’t need a geared applicator for the Metoset,
You're welcome Mike. 👍
So glad ryobis finally recognising you
YES! About time eh? Still, free tools don't put food on the table but at least this way you can say what you honestly feel about them 👍
Ardex A46 - very good stuff.
I recently used the Tourpret mix filler and can confirm it gives great results, but definitely takes more time than a gun-based system. I'll give the Metalux product a try in my next project. It looks very much like the Epoxyset/Permafix products I've used before for fixings
You might try putting that Toupret in an old empty caulk tube - or you can also buy empty ones. Not sure if it would extrude with the consistency, but someone suggested an icing bag which got me thinking this might be worth a go.
@@CharlieDIYte true and a decent idea Charlie. Would certainly give more working time than the two-part products. I struggle to full an icing bag without getting caked in it though 🤣
Great video Charlie I'm about to start a similar job myself on the settlement cracks on my house, was wondering how deep should you go? Thanks
This was a cracking video 🤣 🤣🤣 Good job Charlie
Thanks 👊🤣
Brilliant video
Thanks Bernie 👊
Great video. Very handy.
Thanks👍
Thank you
You're welcome Alex!
If you clean out an empty silicone tube you can fill it with any soft mix and use it to get the mix into cracks.
Thanks. Just started using my new mortar gun and I'm slightly obsessed with it. 👌😉
As a painter and Decorator and have to defend the toupret fibacryl it's a superb product! Yes I agree it shrinks back and with another application and a less aggressive grove cut you can get a great finish / with some secret decorator 🎩 You need to remember the reason your surfaces crack is that they are moving slightly! If you use a solid set filler guess what a crack will appear at some point some where! Far better off applying a flexible filler and doing a few coats than repeating an issue! It's how I carry out all my work and wouldn't change it but best of luck to you!
Well it's good to hear someone defend this stuff but I'm really not a fan. A month down the line and that crack looks dreadful. It's completely shrunk into it and will need a repeat application - which isn't really practical for you to do in your day job, after the event. I'm going to grind it out and redo with the Metoset. I hear what you say though about cracks that need flexibility.
@@CharlieDIYte the Metaset is not flexible though.. will just crack out again with movement...better to do 2 coats of Toupret !
Makes sense about movement..l usually use the fibacryl or expanding foam (large cracks)as a foundation, then finish with toupret murex filler .. do you think this would still crack?
Hi Charlie, a year down the road how do the cracks look?
I’d like to know too please. I’ve used metaset but am a bit worried ..
Might have been worth trying a piping bag or masonry application gun for the mixed fillers. Just a thought.
Very useful , thank you
Thanks 👍
I will be trying that meta set stuff, looks really good.
Been using toupret exterior filler since before it had english on the bags😂😂 we still just call it "that french stuff"
I needed this, plenty of cracks in my render and looking to it get re-rendered. This may have just saved me thousands.
Glad to hear it Ashley. Costs nothing to give it a go 👍
@@CharlieDIYte 6:40 why are wall based plynths a bad idea - I have pebble dashed walls with exposed bricks at the bottom of my walls like you have. I was recently thinking of getting them covered with render somehow but now you have me wondering what the option would be for them.
Also, I have cracks in the pebbledash rendered walks which have never been painted. I wondered if I could fill in the cracks and push pebbledash into the filler before it sets - do you think this might work for cover the repair work ? thanks
Great video, Im liking the idea of getting the motar repair and combine it with a reusable mortar gun. It would be handy if it came it white so it wont look so awful whilst your waiting to paint.
I agree. They should do it in white!! Yes I'm annoyed I didn't think about using a mortar gun 🤦🏻♂️
Good video,thanks!!!
Thanks Michael 👍
For the toupret filler you can use an icing back to inject it into cracks
I live in a 300 year cottage which was painted with Sandtex which I had to remove then the whole house was repointed. Some bits are single skin brick upstairs and the bricks are so bad, render is the only way to make them look good whilst definitely keeping the water out. Luckily my decision to steam off the paint and repoint the rest of the house means those couple of areas round the back which can’t breathe don’t matter.
Wish I’d have known about the crack repair of the render. Probably would have saved some money and time on having them redone. Saying that, I will likely be using this in the future when I come across this thanks!
Sounds like we have a similar situation Jon. I reckon I've got some single skin upstairs on one side of the house. I suspect they rendered because of the general state of the brickwork. All that work was well worth it though given you've now got a house that can breathe 👍🏻
Thanks Charlie great video as always mate just been wondering where the hell have you been not seen a new video for sometime now keep up the good work mate and try and make more videos just can’t get enough mate great tips and advice 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much Carl. You're absolutely right, I haven't done nearly enough videos recently. A combination of things, not least my son had another brain op to try and cure a life long epilepsy condition, which has impaired his vision slightly and not worked, so it's been a tricky couple of months. But I've also hit upon a video style that is very time consuming, what with the scripting and editing. Time to man up though and crank the machine back into action. 😉 Plenty of vids in the pipeline though. Massive thanks for watching them mate 👊
@@CharlieDIYte
So sorry to hear about you son mate hope he’s on the mend soon.
Looking forward to seeing what’s next in ya video
And thank you for replying not many do 👍👍👍👍
Hi Charlie another one of your well presented videos. Would you recommend any of these products for interior use, I have Windows in gable end where the blockwork joints are moving, there's only 2 courses between the lintel and the ridge, I've used a 2 part epoxy which is mixed in a tub, but was very messy to apply to the cracks which I had ground out.
Good to know
Great video.
Thanks 👍
My own house is terolyn coated so this is really useful thanks mate
You're welcome. Have you got a few cracks then?
@@CharlieDIYte yeah in a few areas so will need some attention. I’d prefer to remove the lot tbh as the texture is a dirt magnet
I used an old 2" paint brush trimmed down to create the stipple effect to blend in the render.
Nice 👌
Nice one Charlie 😁👍
Thanks Trevor 👊
Great video thanks very much.
You're welcome Mark. It's great stuff that Metoset. Just make sure you extrude plenty before you start using it so it mixes properly.
How has the metaset held up after 1 year? Very informative video, thanks very much
I love this guy!
Aw, thanks 🙏
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU,As someone whose home has blown render and getting builders with stupid quotes,This has made my decision on doing it myself,Thanks keep up with the great videos
Ah, that's great news. Yes you'll save a fortune, do the job better than they would have and end up feeling pretty epic. Win win win!!
Great video mate 👍
Thanks mate. So THAT'S your YT persona 😉👍
@@CharlieDIYte haha it is indeed 😄
