Need never apologise for going on in these videos. That is what makes your videos top notch. You explain everything very thoroughly. Thanks. 👍

[DavidS-dwwv]

Yours is the most watchable and reassuring DIY channel I’ve found. I like how you explain things, I like the way you come across and I just generally think this is a better channel than a lot of the others. Seems a shame you’re not on the telly.

Thanks for this video, I chose the EasiFill option to fill 10 chases in my kitchen and I'm so pleased with the result, I actually really enjoyed the whole process too, very satisfying. It can be a bit intimidating to get the supplies for a more advanced DIY project like this as a young woman, it might sound silly, but it really helped to have the information from this video when I went to the hardware shop.

It's funny how many of your uploads coincide with what I bodged about two hours before :) oh well. My next jobs are painting the walls, new skirting/architrave, and a built in wardrobe too.
These videos have helped so much over the last couple of months. Thank you!

[ianthomas]

The best diy channel bar none. Charlie, you're a perfectionist and must inspire the " bodgers " to follow suit.

Finally some decent uk handyman content. Keep up the good work

[marekjustus]

This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen since I started my “rebuilding and redecorating” journey! Thank you!

[hannahswann]

Of all the videos out there on this subject this is the best by miles and miles! Exactly all the info I needed plus more. You do NOT "go on and on" at all!? Your content is always to the point, incredibly well filmed with detailed close-ups and full of helpful tips. Thanks so, SO much, Charlie! xox 🙏

Being in the autobody trade for over 40 years, I apply techniques from my trade to my home for those repairs as well. For small repairs, I use autobody filler. Although it's a little expensive, it's fast, sands easily, compatible with everything I've applied it to, and doesn't shrink. Good benefits! I also use fibreglass filler for repairs in damp areas and rotted wood repairs. Works great! I do use plaster and spackle for some minor repairs. Great channel, Charlie!

I feel confident enough now to go round my house and start plastering all the chasing left by the sparky! Having watched my sparky bonding the first few chasers WITHOUT using PVA glue to seal the brick dust to begin with, I can now do this myself and do a proper job!

Great Video, first time some one has explained British Gypsum so i can understand the different products. Looking forward to seeing more, Thanks

[Invisiblehawk]

I absolutely love your videos and as a keen DIY enthusiast for many years I have to say I learn a lot from you, even if it’s one or two things I haven’t tried before. I think the way you present for complete novices to those more experienced, leads me to always think I didn’t know I didn’t know that. Keep up the great work mate.

20:44 Charlie says, "I can't thank you enough"
No Mate! Its us who can't thank you enough!!!! This is exactly what i was looking for. Given me enough confidence to tackle this job my self! I too am renovating a few rooms of my house

[Chriskreepa]

Been looking all over the internet for a good how to. This video beats all of them. Broke it down brilliantly for me. Get yourself a TV gig!

[darrenelkins]

As always, The most thorough and properly explained and shown examples to help any DIYr
Just like school, many tutorials do not explain the why behind the how. You always do. And that is the key to understanding.
great stuff
many, many thanks

[strawycape]

My partner and I have just bought our first home and it needs a fair amount for repair as well fully redecorating so this is a great time to have found your channel! this was great info and I look forward to working through you other videos

[blairtraynor]

This video is perfection! It’s answered every question I’ve had about wall repairs! I feel confident to get on at home now!

[wooly]

I always mix my filler the way you did mate. Impressed with you. The amount of people I see on site who waste easi fill is shocking. I've been plastering old school for 14 years

[ExtremeShez]

I love the fact after receiving professional advice, you reign it in and give the average DIYer's perspective. Like you say, we haven't dailled in those skills like a professional or a master craftsman or have those sort of high end tool available. Thank you for a great channel.

[Vyker]

This guy is just brilliant!! I'm almost there to finally redecorating my home DIY. Videos like this gives me that extra confidence.
