Quality information this and very fair, i’ve been around construction for 16 years now, Simple fact is i leave electrics to a spark, water and gas to a plumber and aspects plastering/boarding to the pros, at home when renovating yes i save money where you can but leave any aspect of something your unsure of to a professional. Finishing trades the results are evident so don’t scrimp!

Plasterer of 24 years going to do my surveyors training at PCA this year now, learning a lot from your videos. Thanks

Haha happens all the time mate."How much if we prep it", then anywhere that's a bit of a bugger,just gets left. When you point it out,it's, " I didn't think that would be a problem".Best way is,"If you want to do the prep,give us a shout when it's done,then i'll price it up".

Very informative video and has stopped me from knocking plaster off myself after a water leak. I thought I might be saving myself some money if I did it myself ( 62 years old and only one income ) Anyway lad, thy talks Barnsley and I love that accent. Thy seems a reeght genuine kid so thanks for that 👍

It’s a painful job.. Done it before several times but.. It’s quite therapeutic and enables you to zone out for a few days away from the computer. I must be a masochist coz like doing it.

So glad I watched this. Will definitely leave it to the pros - thanks for highlighting this!

Lovely proffessional guy! So helpful!

You can just sand it and use German shredded stucco so she can be happy as that looks she wants. Why you ripping off her?

Simon great video 2 years on informative and still relevant happy new year new subscriber bren

Great information with clear explaination Thank you for your generosity! xoxo

Calling the plasterer to do their job. Removing the board and replastering it. They recommend that we have to remove it ourselves. That is why I called the professional.

Wish I could find someone like you in Lincolnshire! Proper job.

Did you just say injection into the wall ? Big waste of time and money it's a pointless procedure that destroys buildings

Good video Sam. What exactly is bridging? Is it where the plaster is touching the floor so it will soak up moisture?

You keep mentioning 'bridging' but don't know what that means. It's a shame you couldn't show the right way.

Why say it might have a cost at the end when you know it will have a cost just tell go round and cost it then tell them price and let them decide

Don't fall for hard luck stories. And why come to some arrangement? It's their house not yours. You come to some arrangement then a week later you see a new car on the drive. Be tougher or they take the piss.

what does it matter...if it aint bridging to the floor ...its good to go. you only need to worrry if bits are left on touching floor or crossing over the level at which you wanna damp proof

Hacking off plaster is complicated now? FS

Thanks for sharing, didn't realise there was so much to 'just' removing old plaster. I'll leave it to the pros! I shouldn't be surprised really, I see builders putting up their own websites (which is my profession) and to me they look shocking! :D Let the pros do their job.

Great channel

To be fair though you should'nt trust a customer to do it anyway. Its a good attempt from them to of tried but some customers seem to think they are skilled trades by watching somebody else do it once lol.

This is a really useful video, got some tips to thanks

Tbh if it’s solid plaster over it

Bruce Willis

I now refuse to let customers prep walls or ceilings for me like you say it might be to their standards but not ours good vid

Do you think using those white tubes which you say are premium and putting in sika rendor would sort out the damp walls as long as it's not rising damp which it's not?

bruh thanks you let me be able to snort wall plaster

Good video...but fussy builder...stop complaining, tell price, few quid extra and get the job done...I'm no plasterer but done many first attempts in my own houses during moves..I left chunks of plaster on many times, no PVA or real scrub down , still standing and looking solid..theses builders over complicate simple processes to look "professional" it seems owners has enough knowledge how not to do it to your standards, i guess you just want to make a pointless video with no real depth of info to your reasoning....and wanting to dot and dab , that's cowboy job..get lime on it...

I feel your palm bud

What drill do you use? Great videos

Just wondered why you wouldn't use limelight/renderlight over those walls, instead using dryzone Cheers mate

Just crack on with it

ANY involvement with joe public’s ( so called help ) is a recipe for disaster,!,, from a 72 year old builder with 57 years in the trade,!!👍👍🇬🇧

Useful vid but can you dot and dab stone walls TIA

You are fleecing your customers, damp proofing doesnt work, the house needs lime.

Pain I ment lol

What is bridging?

💯👍👍

Didn’t they do that to save money ?

Good content 👌.... but why do you have to have all them stupid letters after ur name?

He don’t seem to be happy to do job I’d find someone else

im english and i cant understand a word he says.. mumbling speed talking that accent huh >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>????????????????????????????
