HOW TO PATCH UP A CHASE

After the electricians have been in you will be left with lots of chases. its best to skim the whole wall but if you dont want to go to that extent then this is how you patch them up.

As a spark who also skims this is a great video as these tips are hard to know when you teach yourself. ALSO, the attention to detail about not wiping cable markings off just shows why this channel is on another level. Hats off big dog

Top stuff kirk. Respect for the decorators that will follow is class its pride in your work. As a plasterer myself its something that is totally lacking these days from sparks and plumbing that leave pushfit joints and cable clips proud of the existing wall for us to sort out. Every trade should remember and respect the fact that some other tradesmen is following you.

Nice one Kirk. I’m an elechicken and big respect to you for cleaning the box out, especially when the that spark didn’t have the decency to tuck the cables in. It’s all about helping the other trades 🤜

Mate you are a legend, i always do my best to be considerate to other trades, never met a plasterer work this clean and neat.

[kingcorso]

Gotta be the only channel on YouTube I’ve watched every video and watched all the way through no skipping

[ef]

This is impeccable. If only every plasterer was this thoughtful with cables..

[duncanfraser]

I've seen many videos on this subject and this is beyond doubt the most informative and professional so far.
It shows us amateurs an in depth tutorial and no jargon just plain English/scouse.
The only down side is he's not a Manc ! But 😂😂

He's at it again. The Michaelangelo of the plastering trade. Awesome craft.

Quick message to thank you for your videos. I jumped in and plastered 2 chasers, 3 sockets and underneath my new window sills tonight. All blended in to the existing walls, and I'm really happy with the results. Can't wait to mist coat it, take care of a few imperfections and see the final results.

Ended up about 2ft wide by the time I was happy with the blending but hey-ho all a learning process.

Next time I'll just do the whole wall lol

Thanks again mate

I liked that mixing the small batch with the scratcher.

As as very poor DIY plasterer, I’ve learned so much from watching you Kirk! As laughable as it is, I’ve just created a fake brick wall in my kitchen using Hardwall…I followed your advice on starting at the top right and bottom left for corners, and how to do edges by taking plaster from the middle to start the edges. Invaluable advice from someone who takes pride in their work. No bullshit, just proper skill.

Superb easy to follow video with loads of hints n tips especially the gypsum backcoat plaster on an exterior non-cavity wall - explains problems my mums house has! And brushing the first coat in. Thank you from an enthusiastic DIY’er !

What’s this ???
A plasterer that has pride in his work and cleans up, and makes things easier for other trades ?
Fair play Sir 👌

[gregc]

Tour attention to detail even the oart ehen you matched the orange peel ceiling 😂 your such a perfectionist i wish more trades people were like you

[jamesknightreading]

I could listen to this guy talk all day. :)

[YhSparks]

Top respect on this from a sparkle. Every job I go to with the boxes cleaned out I tell they client theyve got a top spread in.

[davidparry]

Not a plasterer, not even in the building trade but find your videos excellent. Great instructor. 👍🏼💪

[gapster]

Look at that! I didn’t know a Plasterer could not fill my boxes with plaster?
I always coil my cables within the box, but I guess that’s not really that helpful after watching this.
…I have genuinely had boxes completely filled over, only a couple of times.
Love this Chanel, it’s valuable to not only pick up tips, but to also see things from a different tradesman’s perspective.

[HunterLuxton]

Fantastically instructive video. You focus on the job in hand, and leave your ego out of it. Great stuff.

[TheIrishCartman]

Carpenter here, you make it look easy lad, top class.
