It's all the plastic push fit pipe and fittings and lack of proper apprenticeships, piss poor lead roof work by roofers and lack of pride in work. We were once the envy of the world for our tradesmen, now it's like the wild west.

absolutely shocking....

Your Dad's dead right about leaving it smart for the next guy ..... i went to price up a job after work one day - Big posh property - Electric Gates - Security everywhere - Got let in, knocked the door in my old Plastery Clothes, Long Unkempt Hair, looking like a bit of a Homeless Hobo .... The lady who answered the door was visibly SHOCKED! ... She said; "Well now You're here, you'd better come in I suppose" ... The vibes couldn't have been more negative .... Anyway, i got the job because they were desperate! to get it ready for the painter ... I finished it (A Bathroom) got paid and thought I was lucky to get out with that!! ..... Next week, She phones me out of the blue, full of praise because her Painter had told her it was the best plaster finish he'd ever painted over ...... She kept me there, going back every few weeks to do more & more work for Her ... Whether it needed doing or NOT! 😂😂 ... So YES!! - The Moral of the story?? ... Keep it tidy, keep it clean, keep it GOOD! 👍🤠

Hello Kirk I'm a time served Plumber with 51yrs experience and my Dad was a Plasterer. If I left pipework like that my life wouldn't be worth living. Just pure laziness and couldn't care less attitude. It is probably functional but just crap work. Plastic has such a high coefficient of expansion! What was he thinking!! Also you can't find it with the stud finder if you wanted to screw into the wall. Anyways you managed to save the job, looked like the customer was thankful😂

'If you're a plumber you might consider putting your pipes into some sort of conduit' Love your optimism Kirk, dont ever lose it 😂😂

Maybe worth waiting till the person paints those patches and then show them in the video at the end. That way we can see how much of a neat job you have done. Excellent work, looks like tough graft but very rewarding.

I’m so impressed with this guy!

There are many useful tips here about the correct choice of materials - thank you for your detailed explanations as you went along. I was shocked by the clumsy and lazy way the plumber had installed the flexible piping below the radiator - I'd never allow that in MY house!

make it look so easy dude total respect

36:25 Always think about the others coming in after you ! i was taught that from an old Joiner when i was 17 i said that will do and he went off it with me !! lesson learned from a young age and he was 100% spot on! keep up the good work 👍

Great workmanship and the fact your being political against the shit work you been left with is a great way to be. Instead of complaining and moaning your giving advice and finding solutions. Love it

Shocking pipework but fantastic plastering and that tune at the end 🎶❤️

Thanks for sharing that mate, im a plumber and tiler but ive never understood plasterers. For my money one of the hardest jobs in the trade so lots of respect. Very diplomatic too, id never have left those pipes like that but your solution was brilliant. Also good to see another Northern lad on the tube, no offence to lads from darn sarf but i often think everone imagines all builders are bald cockneys lol. Cheers brother.

I know the money wouldn't be the same, but you'd make a very good plastering college teacher, Kirk. You can see you have a passion for it, I went to college for a different trade and I had an old teacher there Mr. Morris who was brilliant with us. He cared so much we didn't fall behind on our course that he even came in when he was really sick bless him!

Good video Kirk. I would be delighted if most of the pipe chases i had to patch up were that neat. What drives me nuts is when you leave a wall/ceiling all nicely polished, then sparky comes in and cuts wee holes all over the place to fish and run cables. "Its alright, it's just a wee patch, it'll take you 5 mins"......

Jesus that plumber who did the chase at the start is a cowboy. Using push fit is only ok when you can get to them when they leak, burying them in a wall you’re stuffed. Plastering over copper is also terrible as well as there is a risk that the plaster could attack the copper or solder. You’re spot on with the conduit, allowing for expansion is exactly right.

That plumbing is utter shit, how has the customer accepted that?

Great video I always run 15 mm copper or other heating pipes in 20 mm pvc conduit you can then plaster straight over, never cracks after. You can also fit the conduit after the pioes are installed by cutting a line on one side and pressing over the pipes.

Hi Thanks for a very good and straightforward video ,your work is first class and magic .From an old decorator ,who does small plastering projects and would like to be as skilled as you .Regards Chris 👍😁

Your works great. That plumber should be ashamed of himself 😂

Another ace job Kirk! Its always a complete pleasure watching a master at work! Thank you!

Great work. Good plasterers are true craftsmen.

Nice work and some great tips. I think a lot of DIY plasterers get put off by starting out with a patch job, not realizing that it's one of the most difficult jobs to do and get a good result. Whole walls are much easier, but I'd recommend anyone's first attempt to be a small ceiling like a WC. Ceilings are easy, because the plaster doesn't fall off the trowel when you work into the edges. That's all kind of counter intuitive.

@winterroadspokenword4681

2 ай бұрын

Definitely counterintuitive mate. I wouldn’t recommend a ceiling for a learning experience. A pantry wall or airing cupboard back wall would be my shout. Even if you don’t need to do it. Very easy to replaster if you mess up.

You skills are tremendous and your a brilliant plasterer without doubt. The plumber should be ashamed of themselves. Horrendous work by them. You'll fix it big man. Don't doubt it!!!!

Iv never seen neater work it's incredible

You are a true professional, amazing!

Fantastic as always Kirk

The days when one trade left everything neat n tidy for the next are long gone. Sadly we live in a fast paced what it done now society,allowing those void of interity earn a wage with minimal effort. Nice to see someone with pride in their work.

Lovely job Kirk

Your videos are priceless 👏Thank you 🙏

You are a very good plaster mate, credit where due.

I'm glad somebody else uses Easyfix foam. I don't feel like as much as a Cowboy.

Brilliant.. very neat. Great tips.

So many great tips, but that tip of marking the around the already cut plasterboard and then cutting the hole is great. Could've used that many times in the past.

that 'plumber' has had an absolute shocker mate

At least you work with other trades plumbers electricians not against them. So nice to see x

Nice job . I know loads of plasterers that can't patch . Its completely different to skimming walls . Decorator will have no bother with them patches .

Thank you so much for this video. I have plasterer arriving in a few days after the electrician have done their thing. I was worried they would see the pipes and say I would have to get the plumbers back out to redo.

Lovely work mate

being plastering 10 plus years and I'm still learning new skills , kirk i take my hat off to you your a credit to all plasterers I've learnt new skills watching your videos thank you 👍👍👍

I just did a patch job on ceiling around some drop down pipes where the plumber broke a chunk of plaster off. I wrapped them with some rubber from a bike tyre, patched right up to rubber and ended up with decent circular gap around each pipe after removing rubber.

Great videos mate !

Kirk might be an idea for the kids tshirt "lil plasterer in the mix" 😊 Great work!

Great job again mate 🧱👌

great job

Hi mate. Don’t know if you’ll see this but I’ve done 2 artex ceilings over the Easter weekend having never plastered before. Your videos have been brilliant to give me the confidence (which is most important) to tackle it. I need a bit of caulking around the edges but other than that I’m well happy with the results and no plasterer would do the job anyway as it was too little work.

When I saw the thumbnail I knew the comments section was going to be gold!

good job, l always use a damp sponge for cleaning down with clean water, l also have 4in skrim which covers better l think, anyway fine job they can be a pain.

Excellent

Yep. Lazy plumber. They’ll have known fine well they were leaving it flush with the wall and causing problems for the plasterer

I literally thought of using spray foam a few months ago and did my channels with that. I also added stainless mesh over the barrier pipe so the plaster has added strength from the mesh. It also means the pipes should show up on detectors so no one sticks a nail through them. Gutted I wasn't the first to think of the foam though 😢

Brilliant work mate . I only wish I could get the mix right when plastering.
