Another great looking job. I like your videos because they're choc full of info. I'm not a painter due to disabilities but enjoy your quality keep them coming. Thankyou.
Another great masterclass so many thanks. As I’m semi retired I’m often asked to help with decorating for friends & family so it’s nice to see you do things same as I do. One thing though is why do you brush around sockets, etc? I unscrew the socket/switch, mini roller the area then refit when dry, no brush marks which I’ve seen many times following up a professional job. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you.. if sockets have already been painted around then usually we leave them like that. Once rolled you can not see they have been brushed around. We sometimes use tape or unscrew... thanks
I've been a painter and decorator for 37 years and I'm more or less retired now as my health isn't up to it now, I won't be investing in a dustless sanding system but I have just moned into a flat and the woodwork was in a terrible state, I bought a sheet sander ( makita) wich I conected to a fairly powerful hoover that I've had for a couple of years and wow, why did I sand by hand for so long, If my health was ok and I was going to work for the next 12 years I would get a Mirka or one of the other sanding systems, I was amazed by the results I got from a cheap sander and a cheap industrial hoover, my dad had a Black and decker sander, I had a Black and decker detail sander years ago and they where crap and it put me off but the Makita I bought for £55 is powerful and gets the job done great, it would have took for ever by hand
Nice result, thanks for posting up. I'd be interested to know why you use an exterior satin on the woodwork though? Guessing it was either that you had it on the van, or maybe for some added protection around higher condensation areas?
Another great video, I'm pretty much at the point in the rooms as your video, I was wondering, where I have sanded down some spots back to bare plaster wall, do I spot prime those areas (I was thinking Gardz, I have a tin) and on my window reveals angled beads, some of them are showing some bare galvanised steel, should I spot prime them? (Gardz or another product)
Hello Sir, another cracking job, like Yourself I've been a painter and decorator for many years , I'm right at the end of my career now as I've got problems with arthritis, I see You rub down by hand just as I have for 37 years, a lot of decorators are using dustless sanding machines , bloody hell the price of them lol, To late for me to invest in anything like that now as more often than not I can't get up in the morning 😂 , anyway I've just invested in a makita sheet sander and f*****k wow , they have improved dramatically, it has an extraction system on it and it comes with a dust bag so I binned that and made a connecter wich connects to my hoover, 55 quid for the sander and 80 quid for the hoover wich I bought 2 years ago , You're still active please try it out and I'm sure You will thank me later
Don't like to much gear in the room.. they are no good for sanding certain things like the coving... we do have sanders hardly use them because things usually are not that bad and just need a light sand. You still have to hand sand around sockets and other delicate things.. my method is probably faster less invasive and won't damage anything. Plus sandpaper is a lot lighter than a electric sander so better for your arthritis... you still have to move either way... thanks
Great job but I do have to disagree with you on the mirka sander situation. I have been using a dustless mirka set up now for the last 4/5 years. It’s the best thing I have ever purchased, I could now quite confidently say if I was unable to use my mirka for any reason and go back to hand sanding full time, I would truly give up decorating. I can assure you sanding by hand is definitely not quicker or less invasive, I could sand an entire room that size ceiling/walls/woodwork in about 45 mins and there would be no dust flying around the customers home settling for days on end after. You physically can not hand sand a better job than you can machine sanding, yes agreed there are a few parts you can sand by sander, but I would say 85/90% of the room can be sanded by my mirka. I’m not a dustless fan boy by any means, but honestly it’s the future and I would NEVER go back to hand sanding!
@@PaintingandDecorating I have just moved into a ground floor flat and the woodwork in every room was shocking, tried sanding by hand but because it had been straight glossed so many times it was just clogging the paper up, so bought a makita sander with some none clogg mesh sheets and it cut right through it, I finished it off with fine aluminium oxide paper and it was absolutely spot on, 6 flush paneled doors, sills and the flat part of the skirts and casings, decent sanders nowadays are so much better than they used to be , I understand what You're saying about sanding by hand but in cases like that it was spot on
I'm a complete novice and have really enjoyed watching your videos. Picked up a load of advice and it's great to see your technique when you're going over edging etc. I've recently sanded down some old doorway trim (which had layers and layers of old paint build up) in an old house I recently moved into. Now that it's flat and smooth how many coats of bin primer should I use? And after that how many coats of the eggshell gloss should I use?!

I would have charged 4 days that's 9am till 6pm, 10 mins break 11am,1pm lunch 20 mins, 4pm 10 mins break, £560 labour, plus materials for this job approx £125 total £685.
I wish people would stop telling the pro's how to do their job. I am all for change and improvement, but this guys been at it for decades and likely tried every tool on the market.
I've watched a few of your vids and can see you are a professional, so I was disappointed that you didn't unscrew the twin socket, pull away from the wall, cover the top and sides with masking tape so as to not get splashes on it. Wiping off doesn't do as good a job.
Masking tape and unscrewing sockets naa I'm a pro I can cut in as well Swiss Tony, and so is this guy, unscrewing sockets and taping them off takes time and by the time You have done that You could have cut it in and wiped any spatter
Another tidy crisp finish to an old room, seen enough magnolia to last me a lifetime. Great prep and finish mate, well done. Old school. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thanks..

Amazing job on the wiindows,they were rotten!
'Interesting' choice of colours..
Once again you do a very nice and tidy job
Can I ask you why you use the zinsser all coat on the windows boards and the famed

Thank you... interior and exterior so it's good for mold and condensation very tough.
Should invest in a dustless sanding system.

Thank you.
Hi, great videos have you ever done a video on bubbles forming when painting?
Nice result, thanks for posting up. I'd be interested to know why you use an exterior satin on the woodwork though? Guessing it was either that you had it on the van, or maybe for some added protection around higher condensation areas?
Thanks... interior exterior good stuff for near windows..
Do you brush your window reveals or try keep them in a roller finish?

Great job bit slow 3 days should have done it
👍👍👍
Thank you.
Looks great! 5 days - say £1000 for the room?
That’s a worrying amount of money if it’s correct!
5 days to prepare and paint 2 coats to one room ? you served your time in that room your having a laugh .
30 year Pro here near Washington DC, what brand, was that small roller you were using was it half 1/2 or 3/8 it carried a lot of paint ??
I like your vids and workmanship.
Thx
Ken
Was definitely on the bigger side than the small side. I would say closer to 1", 18-22mm or so
Very nice job! what would be the total damage?
Guessing 1500

@@mrg2384 sounds too cheap for 4 days work
Get a dustless sander mate better finish and quicker 👍🏻👍🏻 you make the money back from jobs too and no dust
B.I.N sure is an outstanding product. I’ve used it a lot as a DIYer. You do need to get a wiggle on when using it though!
Yes great stuff. Thanks
I hated BIN when I first used it but I love it now, so thin but great for new timber, stains etc, so fast drying as well
What's the name of the small roller?
Eric.
Your brushes always sound dry like there's hardly any paint on it??
Probably for consistency, though it needs multiple coats.

Over the years you can tell which sockets you can unscrew and those that are better left... would have disturbed the plaster to much. Thanks
Sometimes you have to use your senses in seeing or getting the feel for which sockets are best left in peace.
