What a true craftsmen, beautifully finished just hope's he passes the amazing knowledge forward to as many people as possible. Awesome video with lots a questions, well done Roger all the best Tony
Never heard of a fibrous plasterer , thanks for enlightening us . 👌🏼 You gave him a right grilling there Roger 😂😂🧱👍🏼
Steve and Alex Yes I knew he would crack under torture or sleep deprivation.
Skill Builder 😫🥱😂😂🧱👍🏽
Great video. About two years ago, I was repairing a section of staircase at Calke Abbey for the National Trust. There was a team of 2 guys running a replacement section of a massive cornice in-situ using a template which was running on wheels located into a track which they'd screwed to the wall. Incredible to watch, and brilliant to see that these skills are still very much alive.
So so impressive! Really enjoy seeing these niche crafts on the channel. Keep it up guys!
Terrific.....true mark of a pro...the ability to keep the job site and himself clean.
Interesting how tough it is to answer in words the question, "What do you mean by professional?". All you need to do is watch this video and the answer is there. Great stuff. He does it at the same time he is answering your questions and of course he makes it look easy. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
wonderful - what a craftesman. Really loved the music too - perfect and very relaxing. I could watch this all day
Many thanks! We might make another video with him just playing the music without the third degree interrogation.
WOW I thought I had done and repair most things while snagging but this is a true artist at work . Fully enjoyed watching this .
Absolutely love seeing these skills that date back hundreds if not thousands of years still being kept alive. Always fascinating to watch.
Quality tradesman would love to see more of his work 👌
I converted my loft and needed to repair the ceiling after opening up for the stairs. I used precast cornices 25+ years back. The shop is still there and went in with a bit of the old stuff to see if they could match it. They still kept it as stock! Using the same mold all this time. Wow.
Brilliant we have got to see more of this guy Roger, this is a bit different, good find.
Good video,worked along side a craftsmen like this repairing grapes on a ceiling, you haven't seen nothing yet on what these craftsmen can make and do, thanks for the video and want to see more. Kind regards Colin Evans from croydon surrey England 👍 👏 👏 ❤
Proper skill, respect.
What a craftsman. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this Roger. It would be interesting to see him making/repairing ornate cornice in another episode. Rob
We are going to try and get him back for more. He is also a very nice guy which helps.
Skill Builder great news! Thanks for replying.
A true craftsman. Theres not many like him anymore.
Excellent workmanship. Thank you for showing how a fine skill is done (i have always left the job before they come in to repair the covings/moldings etc and miss seeing how its done)
As a plasterer I know a few good fibrehands what a talent them blokes have some of things I’ve seen done with a bit of casting plaster is unreal can do a bit myself but not as easy as they and this guy makes it look
Some skill involved in this. Good to see it
Never seen this before looks tip top 👍🏼
Interesting technique. I’m semi retired, but learnt and worked from an old plasterer who used to run up cornice work using lime putty.
Surely one mix of lime putty and a zinc form could do the job in one hit.
Craftwork, lovely👍
Amazing craftsman. Thanks for sharing this video. Outstanding!
Lovely to watch,true craftsmanship.
Beautiful, it would last about 10 minutes in my house with my two boys
Amazing. Well done (As a 'clumsy American', I'd knock it off in about three weeks here in the states. That's why we can't have nice things.). 👍
Its great to see such skills and a dedication to the job.
Great work. Love to see it ran put on site, just a shame there is not more of this stuff going on. Great video.
Now that is craftsmanship
The words chemical reaction and gloves spring to mind. 👍 I've suffered the concequences of not wearing glove working with Plaster of Paris for 25 years 👍
This guy is nice! And a good worker
He’d be worth every cent an so he should be, that is a dying trade for sure , I mean in Australia I’ve never come across anything like this but the skill on the bloke, they don’t make em like that anymore
Art as much as trade!
Amazing
Thats one hell of a skill ,done it my self to match in a few times with multi finish and a hastily constructed mold but your in a different league. tidy work
Nice work mate 👍
Like to see more of this. Here in the New World, rare to see plaster work
Great video .highly skilled
Amazing stuff amazing skill and definitely not a home for the kids to beat the hell out of ♥️👍
Hi Skills Builder - love your videos! Hope you're keeping well mate!
Hi Lawrence Thank you for the encouragement
Not many fibrous plasterers these days , im really thinking of getting into it , i famcy myself at it , big money too !!!
amazing
Interesting hadn't ever really considered this process before. Roger you do have a platform here to encourage positive change so I think you could have initially asked if he would be interested in getting either of his children into the trade, not just the son
So that’s what it’s called in English. I use to do this with cement, framing windows making the face of the building looking beautiful.
All this makes me think is I hate it when people talk to me and ask questions when I’m chasing after a set trying to grab back time! Makes me feel nauseous so god knows how this fella feels! Nice to see tho!
I learnt how to do fibrous plastering as part of the Level 3 NVQ but in my area theres very little call for it so alot of plasterers dont bother qualifying that high... or at all for that matter
Class!!
Great to watch ... and at least people can see WHY they get charged so much for this kind of work......
Back in the day we'd make up wooden moulds 3" - 4" deep to keep it all nice and square, ( a bit time consuming) but your chap seemed at home with the metal profile, and quicker to produce no doubt........ I bet being watched/filmed when doing such a fiddley job made him sweat a bit :-)
Hi Pete
James normally makes up a wooden horse and rails to run sections in situ but this was running up to an arch and that had to be run freehand. That is why he was saying it is easier to do on a bench. I don't think he was phased by the filming as such. He is a very nice guy and we talked about our shared passion for cycling off camera.
And an angel descended from the heavens 😂
Artisan-plasterer!
na we aren't cheap. yeh you don't look i! lovely work.
Love the channel mate hopefully my channel will match up with yours someday 👍
What an amazing video to watch, that is true craftsmanship. Roger you’ve used some amazing music in some of the videos, what was the one used in this video?
Dylan is the man who edits the videos and puts the lovely music bed in. A lot people overlook just how well this is done. He is a professional film editor and we are lucky to have him.
Didn't even realise this was a thing, how durable would it be though, in that spot it's bound to get knocked.
👌👌👌
Looks great. Would it crack where it meets the plaster line?
In the good old days this was all part of a plasterers apprenticeship . Then along came NVQ's to de-skill the building industry , now look at it , fair play to you mate laughing all the way to the bank .
I tried to repair ceiling plaster beads like that. But the plaster kept expanding. After that it would jiggle and you ended up with ribs. Still there and visible if you look. So I stopped looking! I think it looks great now. Think, as I try not to look. :)
Was that art or craft? Whichever it was it was skill.
Nice video, something different,but will it not get banged about,the poor lad will be coming and going to repair it🤔its work I suppose 😁🏴
👍
Be worth you guys checking out "grants plastering " hes brilliant truly devoted to his trade from lime to fibrous
That's a cracking bit of work
Hopefully not 'cracking'
I did fibrous work for thirty years and did miles of in situ run cornice ,and mouldings , never seen it run without the wooden horse ..and never heard of mixing adhesive with the casting plaster to knock it back , we used keratin ....and always had to wear whites especially on site ..how times change .
Followed link and it was a building firm, can you post a link to the fibrous workshop spoken of ? Thank you for posting.

I would have 'Go' if they was allowed !
What's the difference between normal wall plaster and plaster of paris? Seems they are both made from Gypsum
PoP is not as hard when set.
I hired a fibrous plasterer in Putney to replicate 6m of coving for a porch cast and fix he charged me £650
Yes you can see why it would be that much. One trip to take a pattern or latex rubber casting. Materials, rent and rates for workshop, transport, time in the workshop materials and then coming back out to fix it. Not much profit there . Having 12 metres done would not be double.
Used to do this at college many years ago. Running out egg and dart on the benches, making fireplaces etc.. It's not as hard as it looks, just messy.
Hi roger what is the different between normal plaster and casting plaster
Casting plaster is plaster of Paris and is quick setting but can be carved and moulded. It is very smooth with no grain.
Thistle finish is harder and has a face so it is not good for scraping back or sanding.
just a question guys!
where can i find multiFinish?!
:)))))
Is what your saying " clothing adhesive "? If so, what is clothing adhesive ?
coving adhesive used to stick up plaster coving
Get a labourer making the stuff from the waste it'll pay their wage and teach them two skills 😉
Do you know those videos you see where you go "I could do that, piece of piss"? This wasn't one of em
Amazing work, but why wouldn’t you use wood? Trim would surely be more durable than plaster.
Tricky using timber around an arch. This is to replicate an existing feature
Oi you, get back to repairing dents on cars 😂
Seriously though, trying to make a timber moulding to match the original around an arch with tight corners would be a nightmare plus it would crack and split and continually move. But the main reason for doing it this way is that the original one on the arch next to it was made with plaster of Paris.
I had to look at the video again to see it was arched, it makes more sense after seeing that. Impressive work, I couldn’t make a solid shape out of plaster of Paris, let alone match existing detail.
NOT CHEAP -Do the Job right. Best policy. Get a reputation for cheap and all you get for customers is Cheapskates. Do the job right and people flock to you.
As if he said there’s no money in normal plastering 🙄 lol
