Farrow & Ball and Little Greene both are top end paints ( expensive). I settled for Dulux too as you can get very similar colour scheme to previous 2 brands at reasonable price. For any HKers who are worry they can’t find work in UK, well if you are experienced decorators, joiners, plasterers/ builders, plumbers, electricians you are in high demand. With exception of electricians & plumbers where licence is required , I’m sure this is perfectly achievable. And the pay is really attractive too £180 - £ 250+ a day.
Painting is the easiest thing that any homeowners can do themselves. There are only a limited choice of paint you could use for walls and ceilings. You can go to the home center to find your own colors. If you need, you can learn the basic techniques online. If you pay attention, anyone can learn to do that in no times. All paint should be latex base that bus water solvable and clean up with water. No mineral spirit is needed. Even if you hire someone, you need to know the process yourself unless it's highly technical.
Workmen might not want to remove their shoes or boots for safety reasons. They have to handle heavy equipment, hammers, saws, drills and workmen shoes are required for protection. Same with head gear, some workmen need to wear helmets for scaffolding work. Sometimes we have to put on boots and helmets for health and safety reasons to view flats in buildings that have not yet completed.
It’s good that it was just paint work that needed redoing. Imagine if it was carpentry work eg building wardrobes or kitchen units. The wood would need sawing, sanding down, varnished, painted. In general, carpenters are expensive to hire and it will be very costly to redo and take apart. Surprise it’s difficult to find a good painter as it’s very standard.
You are luckier, got a cowboy painter (Chinese from China) here in Canada, same job like yours, would not accept part payment, he wanted to fix instead, more damage after each fix, finally paid him in full instead and learn a lesson.
I recently painted my own house. Applying Frog tape on wall is ok if the wall and paint is prepared correctly. The peeling occurred because the original paint may be oiled based and the new paint is water based. The water paint didn’t bind with the oil based paint. He should make sure the wall surface is smooth, then use a primer who can prime over oil based paint, then paint with the actual paint color. Painting the final color is the easiest part. Prepping is the most critical part.
This “painter!?” should prepare the walls first. Remove all movable light switch plates. Tape off horizontal top on all baseboards. Patch small holes, sand smooth. Apply primer coat to the walls (spot prime is okay). Use an angle sash paint brush to cut (apply primer and finish coats) straight line along the door frame, crown moldings, baseboards, etc…. Finally apply finish coats to the large areas. Frog Tape is good for latex paint because it has gel mixed with adhesive on the tape. The gel will block the paint seeping through (technically speaking but…?)wet it get the wet latex paint. 3M blue tape is a good choice and fool proof. Using mineral sprites to clean dried latex paint will not work. The good thing is this “painter “ at least use some cotton canvas to cover your floor when applying paint. Good luck to your future painting projects.
You poor people. I totally emphasised with you. I had the same bad experience with my new home, end of 2019. It was the tiler. Then again, we had no choice but to take up an inexperienced tiler as it was pushing towards Christmas. All good tiler have their own job to finish before Christmas and we desperately wanting to move in by January. Our tiles were the top quality & designs and he totally botched up the job. Even now, every time I step into my bathroom, I still curse him😡. In hindsight, was kinda relieved the tile work was completed early Jan 2020 and we moved in mid January. Because by March, UK was in first lockdown. 😅
stevo 個肚腩好吸睛😅要跳多d隱形繩啦。
我都係一個女仔自己油，一日油一間房或廳，慢慢油都可以接受！我用比較貴但covering 幾好，顏色有sample sticker, 同埋 Eco Friendly 嘅油…lick paint, 油出界用濕布抹可以補救。亦有用frogtape, 效果唔錯，其實係可以貼喺乾晒嘅paint 上面, 不過key point 係油之前先至貼，唔好貼太實，油完新油之後幾分鐘內要tear off,唔好等新油乾！自己油好有滿足感，可以試試
我在香港自己DIY油都油得好過你個師父！先點膠紙、鋪好地板，然後上底油，每日油一層油，油最小3層油，勤力油7-8層油。油完油remove d膠紙，地板d保護。如果牆唔平，在油油前要鏟底、上灰。先上網睇youtube先了解個procedure﹐有youtube可學裝修，同學煮餸差不多。
香港油漆一般先做木器,
門panel門線architrave腳線skirting,
原本係手掃漆lacquer就翻油手掃漆,
原本係磁油enamel paint就一定要翻油磁油,
(原本手掃漆都可以翻油磁油,但效果不好)
而家香港做手掃漆都用嘖槍,吾用手油,
手掃漆開天拿水lacquer thinner. 好快乾,
類似舊式女士指甲油,開亞司通,好快乾,
[新甲油gel甲用uv速乾,新產品]
而家又有新既水溶性手掃木器漆,
但吾夠傳統手掃漆咁硬實,
同埋用左水溶木器油漆之後,
吾可以再油傳統天拿水開既手掃漆,
會起底。
手掃漆噴門只要masks地下
牆身可以不理,遲啲牆身乳膠漆可以cover到,
十隻八隻門同地腳線,
香港做三幾日都可以噴掂,
手油就要好耐,貴好很多,
做完木器,用masking tape封晒門線腳線邊,
窗邊同電掣邊,
就可以翻油牆身乳膠漆,
當然牆身要執灰plastering先,
(如果有凹窿位或裂痕,)
香港一般舊石屎牆身,
都會起底再批過灰,
Plastering十年八年都開始裂同埋甩灰,
牆身乳膠我一般喜歡用日本漆
Nippon paint5合1,
UK 可能冇,但應該有類似產品?
HK Nippon 5合1 約三佰幾5L.
好好用, Dulux質地冇咁好,
(個人意見)
香港做牆身乳膠,
好啲會拆開鬆開燈掣電掣,
包封好天花燈,
拆走窗簾路軌,
油完先裝翻實,
英國要拆走全部radiator.
要plumber.
吾係radiator後面油吾到,
好樣衰。
油乳膠牆身,
先用油掃油天花邊門邊窗邊同腳線邊電掣邊約十寸八寸闊,
中間再用闊啲既油掃油或可以用轆,
天花用轆油可以隊高啲,冇咁辛苦,
但用轆會滴油,一定要立刻清潔,
日本漆乾左好難清走,
而家响youtube睇到牆身乳膠有新方法做,
用airless sprayer, 好快,仲吾使做好多masking 封邊?
啲條片果個十九私苦,
好業餘,睇個樣做法同手工响香港吾入流,
搵吾到食,但UK有啲過百年樓既裝修都好麻麻,啲牆身凹凸又豆皮,
UK裝修人工好搵過香港好多,貴成倍。
地下果層牆身離地下三幾尺位,
可以先做一層防水防潮sealer.
對防止 rising damp 有幫助。
英國石膏板牆身,比香港石屎牆身,
容易吸水好多。
祝你好運。
👍
如果牆直角位線即天花連接牆身條橫線全裂點解救
香港一般天花線cornice都係好輕既expand foam之類塑料野,同牆身碰口,手工好應該吾會有gap.
但直位十尺八尺長一條,
接口位冷縮熱漲有時有條la.可以放鉛筆咁粗。
而家啲司苦,碰口都落填縫膠,可以上油漆,
如果以經有一條大la.
都係唧填縫膠然後再油乳膠,
天花油白色乳膠,
天花線(木或膠造既),
都可以油白色乳膠,
牆身再由米白乳膠,
全部都可以用Nippon五合一搞掂,
古老時天花線用石膏造,
當然可以油乳膠,
後來有啲用木造,
有油手掃漆,
但木造重身,成本貴,
冷縮熱漲大,又要釘底板落釘安裝,
而家全部改用高密度發泡膠,又輕又平又多款式揀,
安裝簡單用膠(痴),快起貨。
UK啲舊屋天花線可能係真石膏造既,有大la可以批灰填平,細既la 可以打填縫膠。
希望可以幫到你,
你搵油漆佬佢一定搞得掂。

我吾係嚟行都知要用皺紋膠紙啦，d邊真係初級師傅都不如
其實油油並不困難，尤其是做木樓，比做石屎樓簡單得多，明顯地嗰個師傅嘅手工！！ 不嬲都唔係做開油漆，可能佢係負責講價錢，所以佢報價好準！！呢啲就係西方最鍾意嘅證書專業後遺症！！報價度尺絕對精準，但係埋牙開工永遠都係失敗收場！！其實油木樓，工序十分簡單，因為始終係室內，主要物料都係石膏板！！本身已經好平滑，只係做批灰修飾返啲螺絲窿或者駁口位即可，至於油漆方面，用毛轆永遠都唔夠用排筆油得細緻，如果用毛轆油油，就要油多兩層，如果用毛轆油大面積，首先將乳膠漆開少量清水稀釋，令到佢冇咁傑，油出嚟嘅效果就會細緻好多，至於油到邊位就用排筆保油作收口用途！！ 稀釋咗乳膠漆……油多兩層上去就唔會有你所講嘅層次不均問題！！至於樓底，通常一般專業師傅油三層， 因為天花有吊燈，你開吊燈嗰陣時會折射到牆身！！好容易睇到層次不均呢一個問題，所以稀釋乳膠漆到最稀，總共油三層咁就相當之正美啦…… 我見到你拍片嗰陣時個油漆師傅啲乳膠漆傑過漿糊！！點油都唔會靚！！同埋你油嗰啲木框係用磁漆加松節水稀釋，但係要用松節水稀釋到好稀嘅磁漆，再用排筆慢慢油，咁就可以補救返你嗰個問題，同埋油出嚟嘅效果會相當juicy的，可以又舊變身嘅效果都得，不過最緊要響未油之前攞啲幼嘅沙紙省省去先， 因為首先省省佢先係可以省走物件上嘅污糟嘢……重之油木樓就十分簡單，畀大厦石屎樓嘅難度係低九倍，下次你可以自己試下油呀
Informative...請問下你講嘅"樓底"係指天花定係牆嘅高位? Thanks!
我一個女人仔香港間屋自己油，還懶貼膠紙只用手掃慢慢油都好過你師傳，見到他用大碌掃油就覺他根本就懶到亂咁油，油到咁樣真心疼
Stevo and Fei , 你地真係好nice ,好好人，仲對個師父咁好
Stevo / Faye 仲可以笑笑口咁講, 真系EQ 爆棚....系我就激死了. 你地應該寫 " 油漆師傅蹂躪左我們新屋 " 😅😅
其實個油油師傅好唔Professional, 連Frog Tape 到唔用，就咁係地下舖快布，連其他Protection 去做。£240一日，下次請我去做🤣🤣🤣🤣 。
240一日我都想做🤤
@@licheong 你指皺紋膠紙啊？
@@altezza1333 masking tape 係米色用手可以滅，好似紙咁嘅。
油漆師傅係唔會用膠紙黏邊，係用油掃拉線
我剛發現你地Channel就一口氣睇曬所有片，Stevo好醒目好聰明好Funny，唔止語言能力高仲真正領悟到果種文化神粹，Smart ！
好堅喎🤣個師傅仲生存緊，佢咁油人地間屋，點解冇俾人打殘🤣英國人真善良
坦白講，英國好多嘅室內設計都好一般， 設計都仲可以講話各花入各眼， 但係裝修嘅手工同用料同香港比直頭就係差!
你哋梗係唔係要求高啦、油度咁無可能收貨、你哋真係好善良嘅人、依家疫情我諗好多人失業、所以好多新手入門、算啦大家互愛、好人有好報💛
先用雛紋紙+報紙貼好牆壁及地線位，用排掃油濶两三吋先，再用排掃上下咁掃，顏色一定平均。
我曼城間屋搞裝修都搞到一鑊泡，原本話個半月起貨，到而家搞咗三個幾月都未起貨，開頭又話自己手工有幾好，到而家好多嘢都要重新做，有啲嘢偷工減料到完全係兩個版本⋯英國搵裝修真係要小心啲
RUclips 見過師傅自己拍裝修過程比客人睇.咁樣大家會信心大啲.
我好喜歡stevo著緊果件長袖白色底衫XD
難怪成日見到話英國🇬🇧有咁多藍領工作機會⋯⋯😌
240鎊一日, 其實好便宜喎, 唔怪得佢咁唔pro. 我早前請了師傅來油2樓+ hallway, 連woodwork, 好像差不多3千鎊. 不過佢地好專業, 會同你批蕩磨平翻晒D牆. 3個人搞了大約一星期. 我地用dulux trade. 個師傅話用F&B佢會收貴D, 因為呢隻最少要油3浸先得. dulux 就油2浸已經得.

Matt 係技術含量比較低，即係比較容易髹及收貨，工人肯定推薦，至於是否流行則見仁見智；至於gloss 同silk 係最難髹得均勻，稍有瑕疵都很易看得出，即係比較難收貨，且工時較長（付出更多了）。
應該買frog tape 嘅yellow tape ，用嚟癡落剛油完嘅牆面。 green tape 無咁delicate ~
Steve / Faye 仲可以笑笑口講, 心理質素真係好好！👍🏼
真的油得好差，而且也不平易!多謝你們的分享這些經驗.
F&B paint provides depth after finishing, money worth to spend! Can wait for special offers in B&Q or online shops.

將 frog tape 貼在牆上就知佢唔識啦
你地都應付得好大方💪
There is a lots of cowboy builders in uk.
chris 搞笑風趣但🤣 心廣體胖 🙊當心 肚腩仔已在滋長了🤫🤫
thx
你哋D EQ好高，仲好好好心地，好人有好報嘅🤩
油漆前要先痴膠紙,除非另一邊油深色油,唔痴膠紙都可以,邊位用油掃慢慢執好邊位.
見到佢連暖爐都唔揾嘢遮下就油上去，就覺得佢好求其，同埋佢似飲醉酒油油😅揸個掃都唔係好穩咁
好似已經綑咗邊色㗎啦
油靚間屋過聖誕🥂
多謝分享，希望你們盡快搵到一個高手油漆師傅啦，God bless you😃
Thanks Faye and Stevo. Hope your new home's furnishment can finish early and have a nice new home!

真係亂咁嚟，不過你哋真係好好脾氣，希望你地跟住落嚟既裝修一切順利！
謝謝分享，好勵志呀，做到咁肉酸都夠胆收人240£一日，我收15磅一日下次請我，過萬尺一個人做都未收過咁高人工呀～
OMG 個師傅唔識野喎！你哋太好人啦！
多謝SIevo,Faye兩位分享,新屋油油,你們真好人,還比錢佢,希望下個師父,幫到你哋,油番好的牆。
一於DIY,自己動手
唔駛勞氣，慢慢做
不過唔係個個家中的男人都喜歡做裝修工作,況且倆位主編月薪咁高,洗唔洗做呢啲!
真心講，香港班裝修佬做嘢已經算係好細心 始終香港人對裝修嘅要求都甚高 所謂好嘅定義都有返咁上吓嘅水準 嚟到英國 住過幾個唔同嘅地方 發覺佢哋嘅裝修位真係好一般 當然唔可以攞新嘅樓盤相比 但你都知啦 英國大部份嘅屋都有返咁上下年紀 😅，係實淨嘅，但係就比較粗糙 冇乜特別修飾。
連Pre-sanding 都冇做
因為香港屋太細， 貼住牆住，日對夜對點會唔要求高😔
香港啲客收貨唔攞盞燈同你照沙眼你都算好彩啦
@@SeaslugUK 🤣 幾驚你話出動顯微鏡
$240 一日,shocking. 用roller油好易油到一撻撻, 家居用返油掃油就靚好多。
嘩，搞到咁，真系好激氣，完全明白你們的心情，只能說句祝你們好運，找到真系用心做的油漆師傅🙏
You are luckier, got a cowboy painter (Chinese from China) here in Canada, same job like yours, would not accept part payment, he wanted to fix instead, more damage after each fix, finally paid him in full instead and learn a lesson.
最煩係啲人做得唔好仲話你要求高
油唔到直線就唔好建議個客撞色啦
有很多人嘴巴好利害要做到才知得唔得，祇係得個信字，多謝你們提供資訊作為記錄。
嘩'!英國裝修鬆油咁好做，早知道我幫你哋做，不過學過但是冇經驗😀。香港建做業訓練局教人鬆油都不是這樣子啦，其實都好容易鬆油啫，不如自己攪掂佢咪還好。
You could DIY for interior paint, make sure to do the prep-work (masking) thoroughly.
頂... 佢真係唔識架喎！邊邊位油到一舊屎...
明顯係油過自己屋企就當識油油😓😓

Thanks, painting!! Ha, Ha!
真正油油師傅點會用roller
This “painter!?” should prepare the walls first. Remove all movable light switch plates. Tape off horizontal top on all baseboards. Patch small holes, sand smooth. Apply primer coat to the walls (spot prime is okay). Use an angle sash paint brush to cut (apply primer and finish coats) straight line along the door frame, crown moldings, baseboards, etc…. Finally apply finish coats to the large areas.
Frog Tape is good for latex paint because it has gel mixed with adhesive on the tape. The gel will block the paint seeping through (technically speaking but…?)wet it get the wet latex paint. 3M blue tape is a good choice and fool proof.
Using mineral sprites to clean dried latex paint will not work.
The good thing is this “painter “ at least use some cotton canvas to cover your floor when applying paint.
Good luck to your future painting projects.
stevo, it was high time to learn some painting skills, we can see that U get potentials !!
Thank for your useful sharing!!

好片
英國工錢逐日計？ 美國係成個job 分四五次俾，好難炒人，所以都要熟人介紹。二千幾尺連天花板大概要油一星期至十日 。
通常全屋係油嗰隻色嘅flat , 廚房厠所係同色semi gloss 反光可以抹。邊一定用masking tape ，滅時唔會滅埋啲paint.
阿菲及Steve,多謝分享, 條片好實用！睇左你倆出的片，已經有一年多，覺得你們做得好好。努力呀！
現在想問下你們可否介紹下，如果一家五人想要去英國定居，想買一個四房house, 包括自己夫婦及其女兒，及父母，他們大概50至60歲，他們陪子女去英國定居, 他們過退休生活，什麼地點比較合適呢？
咁英國做油漆又幾好揾喎、係香港做油漆工人唔值錢既、不過手工和做工程既速度跟香港師傅有段距離哈哈😄⋯⋯
謝謝你地嘅分享！
好多師傅都係講就天下無敵，做就有心冇力！
thanks 祝善後工作一切順利
教訓係下次自己親手去油油
謝謝你們的分享，好有用。但睇到你哋間屋俾個師傅攪到咁都覺得好心痛😖
Dulux呢隻牌子咁貴係因為無甲醛，其他牌子可能有甲醛
貼紙無錯， 只係油唔咬灰一齊起， 唔計灰既話其實唔關師父事，要錯既話係應該一早痴木框，
好熱血想油間屋............哈哈, 笑咗
十分有用，多謝分享😘😘😘😘😘
Stevo and Faye, 深表同情。
唔識收邊 ... 點做師父
唔好心急，等好嘅師父十一月再做. 我也試過因為心急裝修，最後中伏！
除咗O咀 & 無奈, 我冇野要補充 .
I feel your pain, bro.😢😢😢
幾實用排掃(毛筆掃)髹邊會比較好
omg.. really paint urself... i feel its fun and better.. not that time consuming if u got good paint
I love your moldings
Dulux Matt 好靚👍👍👍
係呀，來報價之前講明要除鞋入屋。
Thanks for the sharing, good people may have bad happening, grateful it's not non recoverable!
要返工真係好倦，不過為youtube 無力真係好心痛呀~ 其實唔剷底 / 唔需剷底 ，就梗係自己或者朋友攪掂啦。 細個兄弟姊妹多，屋企隔一兩年就油一次，肯定好手工過佢。 不過好明白你地怕惹是非嘅，感謝學識checkatrade。
仲咁開心嘅
Thank you for share.
第一無貼「分色膠紙」，第二無上底油，也沒有批平底基，第三為了尋求均勻，最後的面層都是稀釋比率大一點，多掃幾次。藉由多次上色調整顏色深度。 當然地都是浪費時間的工序。
而且油轆係用在大面積，無障礙的平整表面....
新人經驗不足?????
點解唔去my builder 度搵吓呀？我因為有相熟嘅油漆師傅，所以無呢個問題，另外見到你用呢幾隻油漆，我舖頭用就ok，但屋企用Lakeland 比較好啲，環保又無味，coverage 都ok㗎！純粹個人認爲啦⋯⋯
Wish that the defects will be rectified in November.
天那水清潔已相當險😁
真係一個慘痛經歷
240£ 一日😂😂😂咁既料 屌香港啲師傅快撚啲來啦
Hi，stevo&阿菲😀😀👋👋周末好
