Kirk you wasn’t just a boss mate you was a “friend for life”😂👊 Kirks KZfaq isn’t a show , it’s Kirk with or without a camera , genuine , top quilaty , and helpful loving guy , thanks for the last 4 years Kirk👊

My grandad once told me "if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life" how true he was!

Brought a tear to my eye even though you said it in your live on Sunday,good luck Kyran you'll will make a massive difference to someone's life ❤

Good luck KYRAN in all you do you seem to be a genuine caring young lad 👍🏻

Started watching your videos a while back, painter by trade but used to apprentice for a plasterer years ago. Waching these is like a refresher course and has given me the urge to get back on the Trowell a bit. As someone with ADHD who stuggles a lot with organisation, seeing how you handle a bad day and stay positive under pressure is even more helpful. Thanks for the videos Kirk, youre a legend. Good luck Kyran, good on ya lad. We need more people like you.

Kirk you are a 100% top quality diamond. You can tell by the way your talking that kyren is gonna be a big miss. Take pride in the facts that you've taught him in work and life for the positive. He has an opportunity to spread his wings and grow and yet again you've helped and encouraged him with a glowing reference and assurance that if its not for him as a career he has a job waiting for him. You are brilliant Kirk a true gentleman

You come across as such a hard working, genuine all round good guy. As a fellow plasterer I take my hat off to you mate! Great videos keep em coming.. i knew i recognised that accent 😂 I'm only 30 mins down the road in wrexham 👍

Top job Kirk, just subscribed….Kyran is a genuine star, how nice to hear of the younger generation, wanting to better the lives of children and people with disabilities, brings a lump to the throat…..wish there was more like him, 👍💖🇮🇲👌

What a video Kirk, it brought a tear to my eye. You have to take your hat off to Kyran for following his dream. It sounds like you have been a good friend to him. Take care.

Kirk.. beautiful words to say goodbye to a worker and a friend. All the best to Kyran in his new career. Good luck to the new lad when they join but I do wish I'd of had someone like you train me when I was younger I'd of probably stayed in the construction industry.

Great work ethic and time planning. You see the bigger picture and with passion. Hope all goes well with the apprentice trials. Good luck and best wishes to Kyran.

You’re not only good with your hands buddy - you also have a great and positive attitude in general. That will have rubbed off on Kyron and he will take that forward with him in life. Keep doing what you’re doing and feel empowered! People are watching, listening and enjoying. Attitude = Altitude and you are on it my son 👏👌

He is a great lad ❤ he will do well in life 👏 🎉

Fair play to the lad hope you gave him a nice little leaving bonus if he was good reliable lad 👌

Love the work and all the crack. Can't beat producing something and a pride in the Craft. All my days on external walls and Slating/Tiling.

Lovely watch and good luck to Kyran you will be missed 👍 Great content.

Kirk if there were more people like you mate the world would be a better place. I honestly come home after work and my face lights up when I see you've done a new video. Also if you're ever in Bradford West Yorkshire, I would be honoured to take you for a curry 👍🏽

Fair paly to you kirk for being such a good boss and not only being a good role model for the young lads you take under your wing but supporting them even though its not in your best interest, if only the world was filled with a few more good blokes like yourself, good luck kyran with all your future plans i hope it all works out 🙏

Top man Kirk I think your videos & plaster skills are the best I've ever seen Keep up your excellent work m8

A solid lad, doing what he loves! All the best Kyran mate 🍺

You seem like a great boss to work for and tho plastering maybe hard graft it’s a skill you can build a good life from! Good luck to the new lad whoever they may be. About to check out newer vids and see!

Imagine breaking into a plasterers van you'd be fuming 😂 get about 20 quid in old trowels 😂

Wow, brilliant Kirk, not often I see someone with the same thoughts as myself, you rock.😁

All the best in ur new job keiron and wishing u the best for the future.

I think every comment that has been written on this video is the humbling truth that with all the bad shit that seems to drown us daily like an anchor around our ankles that there is still love, loyalty and respect still in this world. We all see the humble sorrow you carry but as cliche as it may sound kirk, i hope you carry double in pride in your heart knowing youve gave time patience and soul to a lad thats gonna make the world that little bit brighter and spread joy and happiness like you do daily in a slightly different way, every day. Onwards and upwards to bigger ventures fellas, proper inspiration and good morals. Respect to you both

Ahh what a good lad Kyran is ❤ special type of person don’t get many of those people around. You guys are great workers and very tidy folks 👌👌great to see that. Good luck with your replacement for young kyran❤❤

You know what i like about your videos is, how genuine your are, your firm but fair with the lads. The main thing is that when your show people your technics your showing them YOUR way. Your not saying do it like this and like that is how you say I do it like this and that. Ive never done plastering. I am your average DIYer lol. Your videos really intrest me overall. U wash kyran all the best in his new job, there are few too many of lads like him.

Fair play to the lad, good luck to him!

Good luck Kyran. Love your videos Kirk mate.

Top quality mate you’ve hard and more ,hope u take a breather next week 👍

Best thing about a lad an apprentice an oppo what ever ya wanna call um . Is keeping in touch . Is seeing how they grow . Is being invited back into their lives not as a boss but as that guy that exclusive" family " member at their wedding or some other important moment . Talking on about their perspective of what ya got upto together . And to see how that little wind up of a lad has grown n developed. 👍🏻. Ow and mad job that you made it look easy . Timing is everything 👍🏻

You can't be playing that music and letting your heart go Kirk - making people cry! Been following the channel since

Collated screw are a nightmare 😅put the strip on a cut of 3x2 then put another cut on top of the screws kneel on it and pull the plastic straight off saves your fingers mate best wishes from Scotland.

Excellent vid...well done.

Oioi Another good video big man and your a top bloke for for how you treat your workers

Great videos Kirk I love KZfaq . 👍🏻 Though I don’t know why I’m coming home from work and watching more plastering in the bath !!

Put your bloody seat belt on Kirk. Little thing that could definitely save your life. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks for making. 🤛🤙

That lad is a real star!! If only all young lads were like him ❤

I don't wach much stuff on KZfaq but your videos r always brilliant 👏 thanks for all the advice you give .

Long time watching never really comment. Just want to say I really enjoy your content. And just wanted to wish Kieran all the best in his new venture. Keep hold of him on the weekends for a bit of cash in his pocket ❤

This is better than watching corrie!! I hope everything goes well for Kyran.

Hopefully Kyran's getting on well. This channel has a big heart, doesn't it. There'll be the first Pride Of Britain Award on KZfaq in a few years.

Great lad that all the best to him.

Plastering is a hard graft, early starts, if it can go wrong it does and it is back breaking. There is no pension plan. What you earn is what you make . It pays great right now but the fall out from years of a hard graft catch up all to much in your late 40s and early 50s (I know this very well.) Best fortunes Kyran.

Wish all bosses were like you Kirk top bloke 😊

Good luck Kieron 👍🏻

Your a good man mate , we need more Kirk johnstones in the world 🙏🏽

Love your videos and being a perfections...

👏👏 Good luck, Kiran. Well done boss, birds need to fly

You deserve all the luck going forward mate

Good luck Kyran. Not many people are brave enough to change direction and follow their dream

Little trick to mark boards use a chalk line then just follow the line with your knife

I'm so bought into this channel now - only wanted to know if I should PVA or SBR, and now I'm totally invested in the journey.

Top bloke 💪🏻💪🏻

I’ve got nothing but respect for the lad👍

Very special man❤

Plasterer for 13 years now. Had my younger brother with me for the past 5 years. We were crushing jobs. He did however changed jobs because I didn’t have work for him every day of the year. Some holes here and there you know how it goes. Feel a bit sad but going at it alone again is also something that can be refreshing again. I noticed i felt quite stressed for keeping him busy and stuff. Also being in some sort of burnout for the past 2.5 years doesnt help but hey what can you do.

You seem like a good gaffer mate. Wish my team leader was like that. It's normally me questioning him why stuff hasn't been done or parts ordered.

Good luck Kyran. 👌🏽

Something tells me, you will be teaching and mentoring our youth in years to come, passing on all your skills and knowledge in the trade when you finally decide to hang up the tools. Something ‘AI’ cannot either take over or train our young people wanting a good Trade and provide for their family’s. 👍

he will be sadly missed kirk.Good luck with you new apprentice

Good luck Kyran 👊🏻👌🏻

Top man Kirk 👍🏽

Thats a strange one doing the ceiling last i suppose the right way gets lost over time

Hi Kirk, how about getting Ricky Tomlinson to plaster a wall with you for children in need he was a plasterer I'm sure he's got the contacts to get the BBC's to film it , just an idea great show

Good luck Kyran also anyone know any plasterers in Staffordshire that need a lad?

Cool...Used to live in ellesmere port 😂😉

👏👏👏👏👏 live Long and Prosper

Good luck to young Kyran

5:30am 😱😱😱. I wonder if those early starts got to Kieron!! BTW, with those bucket buddies, doesn't the bucket trowel make holes in it?

Good luck Kyran 🙂

Top man ❤

Products such as halftime work by acceleratoring the reaction of crystal formation. We use these in chemistry all day long and has use in food, manufacturing and even medicine. For a chemical reaction to occur you need a series of conditions such as temperature, humidity, pH etc. When these vary the reaction can still happen but not at the optimal rate. Sometimes this is intentional such ss plastering as you don't want it to dry too quick or too slow so you generally create a product which meets the needs of most customers. You can then manipulate the environment but adding more water etc but this will affect the physical property of the plaster and make it harder to work with. Less water is also true. You can't always control temp or humidity so ph is the obvious candidate. But adding too much can force a bad reaction leading too poor crystalline maturity affecting life of the finish.

Nice one Kieran and Nice one Kirk for being a good man

Such a shame Kyran's going ... But as you say - For all the right reasons ... Hope he makes a real GO! of it - They NEED folk like him in the job 🙂

Clean van clean mind bro ❤

High end work, high mindset! Sx

Lovely words kirk about your oppo...

I love these vids but it really makes regret getting on that motorcycle after a 5 year apprenticeship and broke my wrist even after surgery i cant physically do the job😢

A true BOSS Kirk !!!!

Mate you really are a genuinely nice bloke. Won't lie when u first seen your videos I thought what a big head on about earnings and the like. I stand corrected. I can see you were genuinely upset over kyran but proud of his decision. Top bloke top tradesman too. I'm loving the content .

Nothing worse than a good lad moving on, But fair play to Kyran hope it works out for him at the new place.

You so so right about 'feeding ' your workers 😅.. I know I definitely had more umpth in my work with bit fuel for my belly lol. Incidently I worked once for a weeks work for a m8 of a m8. I was told lunch was always sorted so not to worry about bringing anything in or making other arrangements. This held true for first 2 days then 3rd day I was left with nothing as he had go off and I was miserable by lunchtime rolled around and started lagging rest afternoon.. no good m8 😅 Obviously as well younger blokes working for someone 'mostly ' know and wont just nip off site to pop shop or for any other whim without asking first at least. Being the boss of courss you can get away from having to look at the job for bit here and there especially if its all going tickity boo 🙃

Cracking video

Maybe you might wish to consider offering your young lad the opportunity of part work! I realise the thumb nail mention it wasn't about money! And it isn't he clearly has a good heart! As he leaving, essentially for others to benefit from. However, we all need to take care of ourselves as well as he will realise at some point there's two types of reward one's job satisfaction. Other type of satisfaction is knowing you haven't sacrifice too much as the industry he's going into will limit his life opportunities eg mortgages won't be applicable to him and he'll condemned himself to paying rent forever even into his retirement as his industry won't look after him as there's too much Greed. So kindness is a blessing so if you can show him some kindness in return by offering him the reverse partook of weekends if this is pluseable with a little bit of flexibility from all parties I promise if you consider this your rewards will be bountiful.

As someone thats working in adult social care and has been for the better part of 20 years I welcome Kyran to the line of work, but as someone thats been in it 20 years and can see what legislation changes and extra pressures are being pushed on us in future under a straining healthcare system, I myself am now looking at new career paths, looking to retrain back towards a decent paying trade again, I had worked as a mechanic years ago but never got the tickets for it, and wouldn't want to go back to it tbh, so I'm now considering my options...plastering possibly being one..

Can’t fault you pal there’s a lot of people out there that would of thought of themselves and persuaded him to stay for their own selfish needs Top man !! Realising and understanding other people’s interests and true callings 👍🏻👍🏻

Any chances in doing a lime plaster room

Hope you enjoyed ya pint well deserved 😊
