In this video I show you how to prep a wall and ceiling prior to doing your final skim coat of plaster. I show how to secure conduit in a chase, how to chip out broken mortar, how to mix and apply PVA, how and where to use scrim tape and how to mix and apply bonding plaster. In this example you can see me fill a chase and a hole with bonding plaster, and flatten out a dipped ceiling with bonding plaster using a straight edge. Hopefully the video will help DIYer's to carry out good preparation to an old wall ready for a final coat of plaster.

Top video. After fecking my way through doing some of this kind of work myself I can add a couple of extra tips. 1.Make sure your bucket is really clean before each new batch or it will set quicker than you get it on the wall. 2. If you have a chase to fill, start from the bottom. It’s a lot more forgiving if you make it a little too wet. 3. If you have some bad brickwork, grab some mortar mix and point up as much as you can behind before you bond. 4. It’s better to mix a bit more than you need than not mix enough because everything has to be clean for a new batch. 5. I use BAL surface primer instead of PVA and I also put a small amount in the plaster. Makes it more workable and sticks like **it to a blanket 😜

As a total novice I found a 6 inch joint knife a lot easier for chases than the larger trowel, which takes a lot more getting used to.

@deemdoubleu Год назад

You can sometimes save a bit of delaminated plaster by getting some PVA in the gap behind. Not ideal but i have done this at home and it was rock solid after a few days. Only problem is getting it in which you can do using gravity if possible or by drilling a few select holes and pumping the PVA in behind. Can be a bit messy but can slso save a lot of re-plastering. As I say, it is not a perfect approach but can and does work. If all else fails, you've got to knock it off and get a plasterer or DIY.

@bonse1 2 месяца назад

Love the videos. I tried my first bit of plastering (well, fixing a mess when ripping an old fireplace out) and i put pva on (1:1 though, miss-remembered) and mixed some bonding coat up, did about 15x too much and by the time i went into the living room it had set, so i mixed it back uip with water (alarm bells ringing) got it back to a nice consistency. Plastered over it all, looked lovely for a first time, this morning, it's not adhered at all. Turns out thats and old bag of bonding coat, is that why it's not worked at all? Cheers for the help so far!!

Hi there, I am asking you a question because you seem to answer questions and I am in absolute shock at the minute. I have recently been given a property. A ceiling and 2 walls needed plastering. When they plastered it loads of blisters/bubbles appeared on the work they have done. I have had 3 different guys from the same company have looked at it and said they have never seen nothing like it. Now they have decided to plasterboard the walls and plaster over that. Which wasn’t really a problem in letting them do that but what I am not understanding is they have left a gap between the plasterboard and the solid wall? I believe that the reason why the plaster didn’t take to the wall in the first place is I believe the property was full of damp and mould. I can’t understand why they have left a gap and not put the plasterboard directly against the wall. Is not going to cause problems, it just doesn’t look right to me on what they are doing. If you could answer this comment I would be mighty grateful.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Год назад

It's probably a method called dot and dab. They blob lumps of plasterboard adhesive on the wall to stick the board to the wall. This allows you to straighten the walls out. It's probably better if your walls are old as cold and damp is less likely to pass through the wall and the new plasterboard will allow the plaster to take nicely. I can't comment on how they did the work or the quality of the work but it is a recognised practice. I even have a video doing the same here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EVOgTrg97NU.html. Hope that helps.

@sarahsaull6443 2 года назад

Brilliant video, thanks so much! About to tackle some very old walls around a fireplace and this has been, by far, the easiest and most straight forward instructions I've come across. I'm using stop bead up the front sides of the fireplace (as keeping the brick inside exposed) by any chance do you have a suggestion for plastering neatly around the arched top of the fireplace? Thanks!

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

I did exactly the same around my wood burner. Depending on how steep your arch is, I used thin coat plaster bead (the mesh type, not solid), snipped some of the mesh out every few inches but keeping the bead in one piece, this allowed me to flex it into a curve the shape of my arch. You can then stick this in place with a few blobs of grab adhesive, or cement render. Let that dry in place then hopefully you have a perfect curve bead to render or plaster up to. If you're leaving it brick inside you could try it with stop bead. They also do plastic beads now which flex better. Hope that helps and best of luck with it.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 11 месяцев назад

You can use contact adhesive to attach plasterboard to the metal possibly. As for bricks, you can use plasterboard adhesive to dot and dab the plasterboard to the brick. Then plaster over the plasterboard. I have a vid on how to dot and dab here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EVOgTrg97NU.html

@johncoppock3823 3 года назад

Top repairs. Funny when I did similar (holes the pro's had missed) for first layer I mixed my own hardwall(?) just like a.mortar. Is there any difference from mortar? Look forward to the next one.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

A cement mortar is OK, but hardwall and bonding plaster are just purpose made products that have better properties like their lighter, have less suction, mix quickly etc making them easier to work with. You also only need one product rather than a bag of sand and cement. Thanks for the comment. 👍

@lordbrit3567 3 года назад

Hi mate! Great video. I’m just going to attempt my bathroom plastering. May I ask, If I have a slight slope in the wall can I just use a multi finish plaster to straighten it out or must it be a filling plaster? Keep up the great videos mate.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

Depends on depth. You should only do few mm of skim coat. If its a significant dip then I'd go bonding plaster like I did on the ceiling but if it's only a few mm difference you should be fine with multifinish. Best of luck with it!

Hi! Can you plaster over painted brick, specifically burnt adobe brick? I'd like my walls to be smooth, but also would like to save money and do it myself.

@Ellie-wp4te 3 года назад

I've just moved into my new (old ) house and stripped the wallpaper and the wall is damaged with a bit of mold from the wallpaper would I need to take it back to brick or would it be OK to plaster over it if I can the walls then pva them

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

If the plaster underneath is fairly sound, you can patch up holes with filler or bonding plaster, then pva, and plaster over the top. If in doubt, a good plasterer will do the full lot for you. Best of luck with it. Thanks for watching.

@MarcusT86 3 года назад

Another great video mate. Typical fellow Welsh lad calling the vacuum by the brand name "Hoover" haha. Also glad to hear you're doing a follow up vid. In the next vid, will you show what to do with the bonding "splash marks" for lack of better term that landed on the sound plaster work from being scraped flat?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

Always a hoover! Covering the splash is just a case of plastering over. It's only thin so the skim coat easily goes over it. You'll see when I eventually get round to uploading it, probably May 2023 🤣

Very helpful video! I have formerly exterior stucco walls that were enclosed to make a room between the garage and house. (I live in a desert environment in America.) The stucco is very rough and unpleasant. After watching your video, I plan to paint on a coat of PVA, then use bonding plaster to smooth the rough granular texture in preparation for plastering (after the next PVA coat). Does this sound like it will work? Thanks much!

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

I don't see why not. When you say stucco you mean cement render or plaster? If its a cement render you could try mixing your own by hand and apply that? Best of luck with it, and thanks for watching.

@gailjohnston1448 2 года назад

Yes, cement render. Thank you for the fast response!

@greyhound1racing 3 года назад

So you dont cut back inside the chase to finish flush, or do you skim onto the painted wall ?

No, just flatten the chase in this situation as I'm skimming the whole wall at a later date which covers everything, paint and chases. Hope that helps.

You don't plaster straight onto bare blocks. You can use bonding plaster all over it, then use a finishing plaster (multifinish) over the top, bit I wouldn't do that. You could also render block work with cement render, then plaster over that. Or more commonly indoors, people dot and dab plasterboard to the wall. Then plaster onto the plasterboard.
