Pretty close to what I do at work Peter. I put polythene under the washers though, because I don't like to have any kind of impact on lath and plaster, every bang risks breaking off another key/nib somewhere. Most times these days I just brace the area using long 'quick adjustable poles' and bits of scrap wood instead of screws and washers (definitely need polythene then, or you'd never get the wood off lol!). All the best for 2022 :-)

Here, across the pond, apparently we have very similar technology, many houses from that era suffering the same fate. As a Home Inspector for buyers, this is something I know a thing or two about. The plaster never did and was not intended to bond to the lathes. It was pressed through them and curled around the back, forming "keys". The lathes expand and contract with seasonal changes in humidity and the plaster loses whatever grip it might have had and the keys hold it in place. Over time they fail and break off, especially on ceilings. Some people use the repair washers and then plaster over them. Some people rip out the loose plaster, leaving the lathes, and drywall over them or use drywall to make patches. They glue and screw it to the lathes. There is even a fiberglass reinforced type of drywall (blueboard) made to screw over the existing plaster. The problem is, if you cover a lot of area you add a LOT of weight to the house and may cause settling. I'll stop now. You did a good job.

@bigchiefbear 4 жыл бұрын

Great job peter. Think expanding foam would have done job. I have fitted all my interior door linings in my 100 yr old bungalow with expanding foam as bricks were loose when taking out old linings. Plus used expanding foam to do same repairs as yourself. 👋👌

Yes, indeed; you need to be a bit more careful because it expands a long way - and takes longer to set, of course. Plus, I had some PU 🤷‍♂️👍.

My first house was turn of the century and every room in the house was a nightmare when it came to decorating, be it steaming and scraping off 6 or 7 layers of wallpaper all nicely sealed with 'anaglypta', or patch repairing walls - but some were beyond that as the plasterwork just crumbled to the floor. The missus would say - how long do you think this room will take - about 2 weeks but only after we have repaired whatever SNAFUs we uncover.

A word of warning sanding old lath and plaster - it used to be made with horsehair and could contain anthrax spores. Facemasks are a must. Also, it is not always the plaster that separates from the laths, but the iron nails holding the lathes to the beams rusting through and the laths springing off the wall.

Wish you had done this a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for a suitable alternative for the Wickes brand ready mixed patching plaster which doesn't seem to be available any more. Looks like Easyfill was what I needed. Even after days of filling and sanding my (badly) plastered walls still looked rough, so in desperation I painted them matt white with a coarse masonry roller sleeve. The slightly textured surface helps to disguise the imperfections...at least that's what I tell myself.

Yep, always love a bit of 'roller rash' to hide the imperfections! 👍😆

Yes please Peter, I keep putting a dripping tap off, a video from you might give me a kick to sort it out.

I did the same with a ceiling. Injected PVA but gave up with the idea. No PU used and just used loads of screws directly through the plaster and left them in before filling.

Peter, before you bothered with the filler, it had that trendy look...er not so much distressed as "war-zone" complete with machine-gun bullet holes, I'm sure it could catch on. By the way that British Gypsum Easi-Fill will last for weeks if you knock it up and store it in a sealed container, great stuff.

Haha, all the rage here in W12! Good to know about the easy fill long storage too, thanks! 👍

You can also use expanding foam instead of glue

It can expand a bit too much though. PU is a bit more predictable. 👍

Haha...very nice. As a decorator it was a little different from my way but the results were good all the same. 👍👍

Thanks! How would you do it, out of interest? This was a kind of follow on from a question on the podcast, and I was keen to try out the approach! 👍👍

@@10MinuteWorkshop various ways, would probably remove more material, then use a thin bit of plaster board or backing plaster, then skim. I have use a similar method to yours with expanding foam though for small areas. No real right or wrong way, the result that matters.

You mean the Doctor could have fixed that crack in time with some glue and a few screws, Who new 🤪. I am glad I don’t live in a place old enough to have plaster and lathe. Nice tutorial and nice looking repair👍

You should wear a respirator during your sanding, even if you have a great and efficient vacuum the sanding produces fine dust which is harmfull.

How is it your clothes still look clean are they Teflon coated. I had to repair a lath and plaster ceiling where my apprentice had put his foot through it when his foot slipped. I used one coat plaster and when I had finished you couldn’t see the repair. I was taught to use a good smoothing trowel with a splash of water to help polish the plaster.
