How to fit skirting and architrave with a professional carpenter ***COMPLETE HOUSE 2ND FIX PART 2***

In this video I show you how I go about 2nd fixing a bungalow from start to finish.

In PART 2 I show how I measure, cut and fix my architraves and also my skirtings.

When I'm doing skirting I refer to the plaster at the bottom of a wall as a bell end, much like the plasters who put it on 🤣

[billwatcher]

What kind of floor covering is going in this house? In the US we hold the base trim 1/2 inch up from the floor for carpet or install the trim after vinyl.
Also, nice to see coping being done properly !

From experience I would recommend gloves when using mitre mate type glue!

[SirFlibbertyJibbit]

What is the best practice if the plaster is slightly proud of the door lining as you mentioned? Only by 3mm or so

[roccostiff]

Yeah know do the same video on bad walls and then we learn something😂😂😂😂 lol

[adriandotsmall]

What are the nails fixed to if you are firing them through dot and dab?

[paullee]

Fuck me .. I have to stand on a box to mark the architraves 🤣

[dthev]

What about shrinkage and movement (new build) because some of my adhesive lost its grip and the lack of pins

[dilligaf]

I'm not a carpenter but I thought flooring first then architrave skirting last

Being so tall (I'm 6'3" myself) do you ever get back problems with all the bending over?

Lovely job the builder wants shot putting lovely doors and then cheap pencil round shirts and arcs, all high end fittings then spoil it with
skirts an arcs

Thank you very much for your videos, Ive been binge watching lately. As a hobby woodworker I thought doing this kind of work in my home might have been easier but I've learnt its a different ball game to cutting dovetails in the workshop. You have helped me no end, your videos are very informative and you're a pleasure to watch.

Quick tip for newbie’s if I may? If you are new to architraves, make 2 45 cuts. The first oversized, then come back and refine the cut by nibbling it. This way, you are drastically reducing the risk of cutting off too much. And do the 45 first then cut to length. Sorry if I’m teaching anyone to suck lemons.
Excellent video mate 👍

I think it shows how bad many plasterers are when it is surprising and unusual when they do the job right...🤔🤣🤣

[garyc]

This is exactly what I'm starting tomorrow, full trim out in a bungalow.
Handy enough I hope.

my favourite for price is multi-stick, all the modern solvent free ones are way better than bad old gripfil and pinkgrip

Perfect job Dell !! Nicely done !! Great video, thanks Dell

[THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

Hey Del, give me a shout if you ever fancy some help with your thumbnails 👍

[LeeTillbury]

Hi Del, great video again. I always skirt a room in an anti-clockwise direction. You only ever need to scribe the right then which is easier on the chop saw.

Tons of ways to hang arcs. Fastest for me was cut all the jambs 2.1 with the mitre and head with mitre one side. Place the head of the arc on your margin marks and draw a line across the top in both corners, then spin the jambs upside down on the mitre and mark for length. Nail the jambs to your margin. Now spin the head upside down and line up the edge of the mitre on one side and mark the other side. Now simply cut the one remaining head on the mitre maybe a couple of mill long and squeeze the head between the jambs. Because you cut the head slightly long when you squeeze it between the jambs you have perfect mitres every time no need for mitre mate.
The other advantage to this method is I can cut all the jambs for the whole house in one go followed by the head, then pin all the jambs and come back and do the heads. Nothing worse than having to spin your mitre saw every five minutes and it burns the clock. Like I said multiple ways to do arc sets but for me this is the fastest on price.
