Good video bro Thankyou

Do you no anyone in the llancashire area that is as good as you

I had this problem and customer called me back due to a bathroom mirror light that shined at the back of the mirror. Looked atrocious 😅. Explained that it was glancing light and they weren’t having it. Everywhere looked great other than that one wall around the mirror. Opted to paper it in the end to resolve it. Absolute nightmare these mirror and lights are nowadays. Glad I’m not the only one. I don’t deem to be the best plasterer I get by and do a decent job but this one really got me down!

Very good video as my first shot on a ceiling i done everything the hard way, stretching and plaster direct hit in my eyes,i going to wear goggles next time i give it a around the house,eyes stings , thanks

Helpful but your video is making me seasick.

Iam about to insulate my bedroom on the first floor and just wondered should i insulate my chimney breast as its a end victorian terrace house plz help

Why stainless staples? Necessary for dry interior environment?

Legend! I can't find flexibead here in France and you just saved me ordering expensive import. Thanks!

Yeah, my builders are total crap I'm in London near Heathrow, and trust me, the quotes they want aren't worth leaving your house for

I’ve got a plaster wall that sounds solid but crumbles when trying to affix bolts. Any recommendations on how to affix a wooden shelf to it?

I have listened my self on a few places for free but I'm not getting any jobs probs because I am new and have never done a job. For a customer before any advice

Remember in the old days when ready tanking slurrys were not so popular we used to mix cement with SBR as our tanking and it worked well for damp proofing.

Your spot on pal! I worked flat out like dick head for about 20 odd years! And I used to experience burn out all the time. I’ve been through many things in my life, with dependency issues. The start of this year way I think the 10-15th time is been in hospital and it only hit home when the consultant said to me, if you keep going through life like this. It will kill you! Right there and then, the penny dropped. Since then I’ve buried the business’s and made a new start. I just work the hours required and make a point of not working no much. As you rightly put I was working flat out for a life style was just bollox! Fair play to ya big respect for the video, top man! Everything you said was bang on! 😎👍

38 years in the trade and i jacked and got a maintenance job. Everything you said i agree with but one. I know you can't control who phones you as its random based on recommendation or if you live in the local area. I have a mate that's a session musician and he always talks about getting the lucrative gigs. They don't exist imo. Just jobs. All paying the going rate which is the minimum they can get someone that has the skills to do it. I don't shop at Waitrose, I shop at Aldi. If i won the lottery id still shop at Aldi. JMO. Others may disagree. Good video though. Very knowledgeable.

Its very hard to say no to a job as they say.. End of the day no one gives a stuff about you, builders clients other trades if you dropped dead tomorrow they would be asking ah shame whos going to finish job now.. Great advice, good tip is ask customer send whats app video save your evenings running around, use customers deposits to help cashflow, also get business visa cards its a free overdraft.

As a retired plasterer now - I can verify You're Spot-On! - I was a workaholic - Not for the money, because that came as a by-product of Me looking at the game as a Sport!! ... I needed to be the Gold Medal Plaster on every site I worked on - The Fastest & Best! ... Generally I was - But then you find yourself in too much demand by contractors who need the houses bumped out at speed 'and' a qualty job. You chase your tail trying to please everyone! But of course you can't - And then you retire with a broken body and no-one gives a Toss! ... So you young'uns out there - Replay this video as often as you can - It'll be the most important lesson in your plastering career you'll ever make - Unless of course! It is just a Sport! 🤨🤠

ARE YOU A WORKAHOLIC? As self employed men we are in danger of becoming workaholics. This isn't some click bait tag line this is FACTS. Many of us believe by working longer and harder we are growing our business but in reality we are just burning ourselves out and leaving no energy left for the people that matter to us most.. Our families, our kids, our wives. If you plan on being the best husband and dad you can be then you need energy and time to do that. Being at work 6 or 7 days a week grafting on the tools non stop will hurt your relationships. Take it from someone who knows. Avoid the self employment trap by creating boundaries and rules with customers and also having a 'switch off' button so that you stop taking your work stress into the family home. Increase your income and target better jobs by learning how to screen new enquiries, specialising and building your reputation and attracting great customers who respect your time instead of tyre kickers and price hagglers. This allows you to cut down your working hours while increasing earnings. 80p is all you need to start your coaching journey making this program the most cost effective and easily accessible training course ever made for self employed plasterers & tradespeople.

Superb advice, as always 💪🏻

How about you scrape some asbestos and the client sues you personally, you could lose your house?. Always go LTD

Wise words. I get loads of calls from Google maps and search for my decorating business without paying for ads. I also get spam calls once a week from people who can get me "on the front page of Google" , or they have 5 key words that are mine for £250 a month. I like to point out that they found me just fine in their call centre so not needed! 😅

Why does it matter which it is? Am I missing something?. Do you mean for overboarding? Thanks

I use big outdoor led flood lights . Waterproof too. Easy to clean. You know the ones designed for driveways.

I needed to hear that. Thankyou. It can get lonely out there.

I want to start venetian plastering business but I've never done a full wall solo for a client I'm not sure how I'd get clients with no previous projects or expirience. I do tile and I know how this work is done 100% I just want to get started but don't if clients would trust me to let them be my first piece of work

Im on check a trade i totally agree with you im sure they work with hmrc its all part of th digital era coming in . I must admitt its been a good way of building my reputation up im cancelling it when my years up

What a rough trade but fair play 👍

Well done there mate. I’ve been there to many times to remember we just have to get on with it. Good video.

They wanted 300 per month plus tie me with one year contract i told them to get lost

Great video, made me paraniod about my walls now!

I totally agree with you

What about trowel cleaning? Look at the state of it 😂

Talking proper sense mate, my legs are fuckt!!and what makes me laugh is everyone asks....don't your arms ache???no!they will be broken in for my wheelchair 😅😅😅

Artex doesn't shrink, plaster does slightly!the artexers back in the day when I started out 30 years ago would get the labourers doing the skrimming!if the artex isn't skrimmed properly your hard work will crack on those joints, I learned the hard way!to guarantee your hard work, over board and re cove and if the customer doesn't want to pay then tell them to get someone else rather than jeopardise your good name 😊😊😊

If you go back to brick could you use a plaster board and then skim?

Best way to fix delaminate lime backing plaster without hacking off. Can I inject an adhesive to bond between the gap (brick to line backing plaster)

have a 40 year old property in Cyprus probably no damp course put down . Stone village house. plaster in s lot of areas just shot. can see the white salt build up thats pushed plaster off the walls. what do you reccomend ? natural materials like lime or clay ? or fancy a holiday in Cyprus in return for some work ?

Helped me alot thanks mate

Yes, most of my working life I was addicted!! - to HARD Work - Not SMART work.... Yes, the 'hard work' paid Me More! Than any other spreads I knew - And the financial rewards were great!! ... But the old body PAID!! For that Money - many times over 🥺 ... Had I put more 'thought' into my working life things could've been better! 👍🤠 . A good little video this one Stewart 😎

How to start a plastering business? Join the Trowel Talk newsletter to access my FREE job cost analysis guide for plasterers. Learn the key fundamentals of job pricing and calculate how much you are worth based on your skill level 👇👇👇👇👇 bit.ly/49Y9NgV What should you consider before starting your plastering business and what should you charge? Let me introduce myself my name is Stu Roberts I have been in the plastering business / self employment game for 20 years I am also the founder of Trowel Talk Plasterers Community group & Podcast. I also coach self employed plasterers helping them to leverage their skills and knowledge to maximise their opportunities and earning potential. A big problem for newly self employed plasterers is finding work. Another big problem for newly self employed plasterers is pricing work and dealing with tax and trying to manage their social media and marketing. Unfortunately they often fall prey to expensive lead gen sites or social media management/ website companies who charge them thousands of pounds but deliver no real tangible results. As sad as it sounds many of these companies exploit tradesmen and are out purley to make as much money off the working man as possible. In my early years I made all of these mistakes and wasted thousands on companies promising me big results but all I had was an empty wallet and no work coming in. This is when I decided to learn everything I could on organic marketing and started to generate my own leads and manage my own websites I emersed myself in everything "Google" which has completely changed the game for me and has done the same for many of my coaching group members too. What's insane is 99% of lead generation online can be done for FREE using a smartphone. But because tradespeople predominantly work with their hands on the tools they have never took the time to learn the skills and strategies to bring in organic leads and so they end up paying out thousands to companies like checkatrade who last year made a sickening profit of almost 60 million pounds off the back of the working man by selling on customer contact details for extortionate prices. In my coaching program I will teach you step by step how to build websites and rank your free Google account in the number 1 spot for free. I will also walk you through some simple video marketing strategies and help you to create and optimise a UA-cam channel and Facebook business page. We also train you on a simple CRM system to help you organise and manage customer information, create quotes and invoices on the go and keep track of your costs. Learning these vital skills will mean you can move away from greedy lead gen companies and start to become self sufficient with your sales and marketing strategy instead of outsourcing everything to companies which eats all of your hard earned profit. So if you are considering starting a plastering business or have been self employed for some time but you are struggling to make ends meet and are working every hour god sends.. Or you are trapped inside memberships with checkatrade and mybuilder and can't see a way out..Then check out our coaching program today which runs at just 80p per day making it the most affordable and accessible coaching program ever created for self employed Plasterers.

Good on you mate, it makes your channel more realistic Well done

Respect, We're All human, plastering is a continuous Learning trade just when you 🤔 you figured it out, you get School.

Just curious... why don't people repoint the bad mortar joints before replastering?

I won't advise to join Checkatrade as a trader unless you are willing to pay a lot of money and waste a lot of time battling with a system that's is set up to take all of your money and force you to pay for services you don't need, their call centre is only helpful and kind when they call to sell you services, my experience has been awful and even though I have ceased trading they won't let me cancel the services and all the auto renewal system they have in place will put you in a bad financial situation. Stay away from checkatrade, they have made my life a misery in the last month.

Thanks very helpful

collomix is the best

Work to the thistle not the whistle 😀
