Glad I stuck with this 20 min video instead of a shorter one. Every bit of it was so necessary! The PDA and filler mixing was mesmerizing!

Watches vides , deep embarrassed sigh, rolls eyes and makes a mental for Saturday “did out poly fill a applied to hall ceiling cracks last Saturday, and do it correctly this time 😊 thank you as always for saving me £100’s and educating a diyer 👍🏻

Nice jobb! Hate though that these videos always end when the painting is about to start. The before and after a paintjob is so satisfying to see.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. I followed it to the T. Worked perfectly thanks to your video. Took me a week to complete and was completed with two coats of ceiling paint on Saturday January 27th 2024 The biggest job was dismantling the bed every day!

Always greatly appreciate your work and attention to detail. For what it's worth, I prefer no music during the videos. Ambient sounds of productivity help to understand the process better, and your commentary is gold.

Video is fantastic. I watch them nearly every time before I go to do a big plaster ceiling repair, which I’m doing today, and I can’t tell you how helpful this technique as well as many others that you’ve posted have been to me. Thanks so much, and please keep these videos coming.👍💪🍻

You Sir have saved me thousands of dollars and time. Big THANK YOU

Thanks so much for the advice the expanding foam works a treat !

Will you come over to my house and fix my ceiling for me? :). Ugh. You're so patient. That seems the tricky part with all of this... just taking your time to get it done right.

excellent result 👍😊 I'm on the last room in my house all painted , staircase reoccurring crap fixed (about 2 years ago looks fantastic still) door front door installation fixed, paint distemper on the hallway fixed every problem I came across and never heard !! of I've found a solutions in your videos cheers..

What fantastic attention to detail. Wish I could find a tradesman like you in my part of the world but, so far, no luck.

Thank you so much for this helpful video. This job is on my to-do list. I'll follow your steps & have peace of mind it'll be done correctly. Thank you👍

Great presentation. Awesome old world skills.

Excellent video, with good detail and very well explained. I'm working on my 1910 Federation cottage with Lath and Plaster walls and ceilings). Just a couple of questions, if I may. 1) Any suggestion of the mixing ratio for the PVA and water spray? I made a mix and sprayed the racked out cracks, but the dust still wants to crumble out once it dries. 2) I'm in Australia, and you can't buy Dulux Easycare paint here. Can I use any ceiling/wall paint mixed in with the filler to avoid having to prime over the filler before painting. Thanks heaps for sharing your extensive knowledge mate. Cheers Andy 👍

Great job, but I think it will still re-crack if there is movement from a floor above.

found this very helpful

That's a great opening line!😂

Great job with good information, but when I do filling and wipe over with a damp cloth it seems to wipe the filler out, any views on that please

So much knowledge! Awesome!

Really useful information and a great help - thank you!

Very useful video. Thanks for making it!

If your mixing paint with the filler will it actually sand down like its supposed to?also does this technique work long term on movement cracks?it would be great if we could see the ceiling 12 months down the line to see if it all works,thanks for the video very interesting

Good stuff. ceilings can be a pain in the arse for me sometimes :)

Tried it and it does work but have to have a lot of patience to make sure enough foam has got in behind. Took a few goes to get it right tho and patient customers 😂.

Great stuff.

Some people say to tape over the cracks, some people don't. It looks like you did not. Great video. For walls do u use the same approach and no paper tape across the crack. Thanks again for the old world knowledge share

My house was built approximately 1929 and this summer of 2022 , it decides to settle causing ceiling cracks and some wall cracks .

Great video! I’m experiencing springy plaster walls and I was thinking of this method. Does it still hold up? I don’t really want to be removing sections and then plasterboard.

Would you use polyfilla on woodwork or would you use a ready mixed wood filler

Perfect 👍

Very useful thank you

Would this method still work for plasterboard where they crack down the joints?

Very nice

What is easycap in America though? Is it caulk or plaster

Great video lots of information and tips thanks.

Could you come to London I’ve got this all over my house recently purchased bought the house in june last year got everywhere re plastered but now we are having this issue pretty much everywhere

What ratio do you dilute the pva please

I watched this video with interest as I am having issues with surface cracks in plasterboard in my conservatory. I’ve tried this method to fix them, but even before I’ve managed to get the surface painted hairline cracks are once again appearing. The only thing I’ve done differently to your method is I didn’t use the Soudal gap filling foam, instead I’ve used Screwfix foam which I already had. The plasterboard is fitted in a south facing conservatory, so it is affected by large changes in temperature and I think this could be the issue. Is there anything else you would recommend, or do you think the Soudal foam will make all the difference?

Trouble is your having to take more time to take out the crack more then needed to be able to get the foam inside. V it out and use a filler that can withstand movement plenty on the market.

great job

Cant believe you don’t have a proper foam gun with the amount you use ..

Diluted PVA? Not sure what using sorrry I’m from USA so products are a little different here

Most Lath and Plaster ceilings are lime plaster, this looks like gypsum underneath the paint?

Is the PVA just white glue?

Where you get that squirt stuff

Can’t you just use hot mud ?

That ceiling is crying out for ceiling paper or at very least lining paper because of the amount of repairs.

The cracking in this house is so extreme I would say it's structural

Hey mate,seems you have always been charging too much, you egzeturating
