I had to sign in, just to LOL at that comment.!!!!........... Hahahaha...

Yeah that woodchip is a bugger to match!

Hell*

I've cursed the person with 50 water infections

Thank you.

Totally understand last week striped a room that took 3 days... sometimes even with a steam stripper it can be a complete pain.

Painting and Decorating definitely! Even worse where there’s layers upon layers of paint on top... that’s my struggle right now, and the room is the biggest in the house! Gonna take me a while!

You can always test out the steam stripper it may help,, but be-careful especially if you have plasterboard. Never leave the steam stripper in one area too long. Also there are different techniques on removing wallpaper and I have about five different scrapers. Every scraper is a different type and we even use filling blades.

Thank you... yes hard work but satisfying

You're welcome thanks

I simply remove the tiles and felt from the roof and let the rain do the work over winter.

HAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m pretty much at this stage right now

😂😂😂😂

Thanks.

Knocking the chips off allows the water to penetrate more easily

Liam O'Doyle Thanks your welcome.

washing up liquid way easier

Lol. Thanks.

Your welcome.

Your welcome, yes this technique is what you start with for all papers. And if you find it a struggle change technique.

Jamie Thanks, it's very important to have it exactly like shown in the video. Too long and it becomes very dangerous.

Yes, can be a nightmare this stuff.

Thanks. possibly but your better removing loose to a sound surface, it may be hard to come off. But if left it can come loose over time and decorating happens every 5 to ten years. Better getting rid of problems so future decorating is getting better.

Yes sometimes it's best left.. always difficult usually hides rough plaster.. so would need some paper... We have lots of videos on repairing cracks.. really depends on how bad.. usually rubbing pollyfilla into the crack can be enough.. quick fix and emulsion.. out of sight out of mind.. thanks

Thanks, steam stripers can be necassery at times. But like you say not all walls are suitable to use a steam stripper on. Also there is a technique to use a steam stripper correctly to reduce plaster blowing.

Yes tough work. wood chip is either easy to remove or a pain. scrape off the wood chips with a scrapper and wet with warm soapy water. Keep applying water every 5 mins till it falls off.

More important really worth giving it a good wash down... you want it to last as long as you can... not worth cutting a corner.. thanks.

Marcus Chambers That would great not often it comes off that easy.

Yep... swings and roundabouts this game.. 😅

@@PaintingandDecorating end result is worth it, we are end terrace and it was used on that wall which created mould etc yuk! Have fun my man ..great video

@@tinklegaming2298 Thank you you to.

LOL... i know....!!! this stuff takes an age to get 3 millimetres off normally though.!

I knoooow, right?

Thanks, yes we make them and here is a video showing how kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtuVZb2Kt5eYpIk.html

Usually always price unless the customer wants otherwise. Sometimes I add on with in reason, depends on hidden problems. You discuss this in the price. Thanks

@@PaintingandDecorating thanks

You can paint the wall but either clean paste off the wall by washing down... or use lining paper for a perfect texture. Thanks

@@PaintingandDecorating Thank you!

Daz Shadforth It all depends on what's getting done. But this job is over £1000.00 lot of work.

It's called balance... stood on a plank on a staircase. Thanks

If you're experienced you would understand the pros and cons, also the water would not run down your elbow when using a brush.

@@PaintingandDecorating Brush is woefully slow + more stress on your elbow joints, wait till you get olecronon bursitis when older through over use of elbow joints (I know), so gravity is removed from your ceiling stripping jobs then and water runs uphill? The first year of doing this way back in 1980 i soon saw how useless a brush is for stripping paper as in applying the water. If they still teach this they need a serious update 30 years and retired at 48 now relaxing in Thailand for the last 8 years........30 years of happy customers, Time is money, brush is too slow, you would no more brush walls than use a roller when painting. I still have the hard skin on my finger where the brushes used to sit all day near the tip of my 2nd finger on the inside

That's the worst thing you can do. Nice square edge to the scraper very important for stripping wallpaper.
