Thank you for your valuable time & video
Cheers
great video i was looking how to do it my self as well and the tip with the screws i think is great. for the last week I was looking at ways to hang the ceiling over the old one and felt like useless but now I think I might have a chance. I am close by ...if its not working I will give you a shout.😄
Excellent job 👏

Thanks
Cool video bro. Good job
Thanks 👍
Awesome job
Thanks
WOW 😳....... Soldier 👊🏾😎
Brilliant work.. I wish all trades people sweep up like you! do
😂👍🏼
Thanks, and I've never understood messy trades. Cleaning is just part of the job.
They should vacuum,not sweep.
Top notch 👍🏻
Thanks
Sweet
Correct me if I'm wrong, were the boards actually 8x4 when lifted and fixed?
Choose what, yes it can be done with experience and technique, I've done it many times - with uncut 8x4.
I have a wall that have that isn’t flat and I want to skim it how do you sort the divets out to that the wall will be level once finished?
Great work. Our ceiling came back with positive test for low levels of Chrysotile asbestos. Builders recommended over boarding. Still safe to carry on? Will cost £1000s to remove the Artex ceiling from all rooms. Thanks
I would say it should be ok but proceed with caution and don't take my answer as gospel. I'd consider your options but In my experience the asbestos in artex is usually in trace amounts. Again I can't speak to your exact situation however. Good luck with your project
One of the better videos I’ve seen on Facebook. Top job. Don’t you cut out the old wooden beads though? I find even when scrimming them they seem to crack. Always cut out now, especially seems you were mixing bonding anyway. Where you based?
Hey thanks! We don't but we have had issues in the past even when double scrimmed so will probably start cutting them back. We are based in Worksop, somewhere between Sheffield and Nottingham.
Try board mate on amazon mate things are superb
Great vid again. Which adhesive do you use for the coving? I've tried the powder knauf adhesive but just found it went off far too quick
Thanks, I use the knauf powder in the mini bags from Wickes and I m haven't had that kind of issue but I do mix it quite wet compared with something like board adhesive.
@@ryanseeley Thanks mate, I might try with the stuff you can get in tubes and apply with a caulk gun. Since i'm working in a furnished room it'll certainly be less mess!
Thinking of having a go myself. Putting the boards up anyway. What length screws were you using? Don't you have to be careful about screwing into pipes or cables in the ceiling above?
These screws would be 50mm or 60mm as the ceiling is an old lath and plaster ceiling so there's about 20mm of material before the joists.
Pipes and cables should never be loose and/or laying on top of the ceiling if they go through a joist they will be high enough that you won't hit them.
I've been boarding ceilings for 12 years and have never hit a pipe or cable yet.
You never used adjustable pops mate ? I had no issues with 8x4 when using them
Yeah once or twice but I always found it quicker to just pop a few screws into the wall.
before you board the ceiling, find the joist's ends at opposite walls, then flick a chalk line so you can see where the joists are, making it a lot easier.
Yeah this is a classic method
How did you support the boards in the middle of the room that weren't up against a wall?
grow a pair and deal with it sona
What bonding did you use around the corners of the ceiling? 4:00
It's just British gypsum bonding coat. But it's the grey version. We get brown and grey in the middle of the UK depending on where your supplier gets of from.
Where did you get the plastic you rolled on the floor from?
It's carpet protector from Wickes
Noticed you boarded over the existing ceiling? In what situations would you remove the existing or is over boarding the approach because the existing ceiling is still in fairly good condition?
Thanks for your question. The main few reasons I board over the ceilings is to prevent unnecessary work and mess. As long as the old ceiling is pretty flat and not falling apart the new layer of plasterboard will tighten up the old ceiling and leave it looking fresh and new.
Removing would also leave it looking fresh and new but would be much more messy and then you have all the rubble to dispose of.
Another reason to have the ceiling down is if you want to rewire the room, let’s say for spots, or maybe you’d need to rework the plumbing or whatever else is in the ceiling before it’s boarded and plastered. Speaking from experience as I’m doing it right now at home. 👍🏻
💯👍👍
Can i put whole plasterboard or have to cut it in half.
Either is fine, as long as you cut the board to the length of the joists
By being a fecking plastering acrobat! With my trusty extension pole
Were those boards really 8 ft (240cm)? You must be a really big guy, because they looked much less than that! lol
Top tip with the screws in the walls to prop up one side of the boards, but bit difficult putting three screws into an external brick wall for every board, eh? And how did you do those middle ones??
I'm pretty average but yeah they are 8x4 full size boards. Maybe the camera angle?
You don't need to be deep I to the walls with the screws just enough to prop the board. The middle is just a case of butting it up to the previous boards
@@ryanseeley Great video mate, but there's no way they are 8 x 4 boards. Do you mean you used 8 x 4 boards, and cut them up into smaller pieces?
No, we only buy and use 8x4 boards. I have to cut down the edge to the nearest joist but these are 100% 2400mm X 1200mm boards with maybe 200mm trimmed off the edge.
I do my own DIY projects and used a ' T ' prop leaning against the wall about one inch below ceiling height to hold one end up , and another to prop the other end up whilst screwing . .
All the best from Bawtry .
Just learnt my artex has asbestos🤮. Costs are going to rack up if I can’t plasterboard myself. This is doable
If it contains asbestos I would not overboard. Your options are now to bond and plaster over the artex or to have the artex removed by an asbestos removal company.
Can’t understand videos like this can’t see anything that’s being done, ruins it for me
Answer, cut every board so that none of them are 8x4 boards.
Get your mate off the phone 📱 👍
Not 8x4
Very poor quality video
