THE BEST RENDER FOR BEGINNERS EVER! 

I enjoyed this. Not too much talking a straight clear information. Not busy, just right. Thanks.

Hi Kirk , just wanted to thank you mate for all your time and effort in providing us with such great videos showing us how to plaster and render , because of you Blaine gray and Alex Morley i attempted a ten foot by six foot dog rough wall in my garden , it came out brilliant because of the vast knowledge you guys share with us , and oh my god it is hard graft even on a small wall like mine , thank you so much pal

You are a fantastic teacher. Apprentices should be queueing up to work with you!

With your finish it looks more contemporary.You knocked off 20 years looks wise thats for sure.Excellent work

My dad always bought extra material too. Better to be safe then drop everything for a few bits here and there. The suppliers loved him for this, always giving us shit for bringing back returns. One supplier stopped doing returns altogether, for everybody! We pretty much dropped that supplier from then on, only going back when we needed a specific colour match

USED ECO REND ON A BIG BUNGALOW GREAT STUFF CUSTOMERS WERE VERY HAPPY I WAS AT THE PRODUCT RECOMEND IT BRILL STUFF

A UK Trumper. I like it!

FairPlay that was a well explained video. haven’t really had a go of this render. Do a lot of skimming, looks straight forward.

Good to watch somebody with an attention to detail 👍

Looks like a lot of work, but you do a professional job.

You don't pay Sam enough. He can't afford a pair of £5.00 shorts.

Hi Kirk, I'm a fellow spread like yourself 😉 don't think your too far from me either as I noticed your skip provider is local to me too. Watched loads of your videos and always impressed with your knowledge skills and professionalism....Infront of the camera anyway 🤣😂. Your bang on with what you say about different characteristics with the different render manufactures. I also hand apply my render as a pose to spray, so pick my jobs to suit this. Only ever used k-rend/parex/VPI never used eco-rend before but after watching this vid, I'll give it a go. Keep up the good work 💪

Now that's qaulity work that'll stand on good time, I would ask, do many wear paper mass to prevent lung damage if at all? Otherwise, awesome finish to high standards just wish more were as good as you, 😊

Good job as always Kirk glad you’re protecting from the heat and being smart as always

I'll probably never do this, but it's so interesting to watch and learn. Tidy and meticulous as always, great work

Therapeutic. Top job. When you listen to someone who knows what he's talking about, everything makes sense. Thanks

The health and safety and PPE of these builders is amazing. A cigarette comes before a hard hat or safety boots.

I've recently rendered 2 extensions I had built. Never rendered before but had to take the job on myself because the builder did a runner on us. I'd been following a renderer on insta for a while and he'd always used PRB. So I took a liking to it and had some specs done by a rep. But the cost was too high. I ended up asking if I could use sc grit as a base and top (which I could) and then sponge finished it. Really enjoyed doing it and was really impressed with it 💪

Lovely job mate

It’s lovely stuff bud👌

Wow just proves - with a positive attitude difficult situations can become opportunities! Awesome job guys!

Love the belly break up of the battens 😂 class 👍👊👍

Very informative video! Thank you very much for sharing on RU-vid. Best regards and blessings.

im a roofer thought no not retiling it then looked at the finished job and boy was it better great finish if i was next door i would want mine the same

I missed Saira Deltas, Darth Vader Heavy Breathing, is he Off the 🚬, Cracking Job! Money in the bank ( back pocket ! Tax are for carpet) Hopefully you got a Sneaky few in 🍻 on the way home, have to rehydrate in this ♨️🥵☀️ 😉

Don’t even plaster, but bing watching you doing it 😂

Still puttin 86 scoops on your hand board!? My shoulder is only just recovering from that ceiling haha..... class vid again bruv

i like the way you looked and fix all the little details before you started top job.

Great job...as expected!... 👍

I really like your vibe! 🤗 You make it look so easy. I have to render a wall and I know it's going to be a big mess. Did you use a specific product for the scratch coat? (The grey one) Thanks from France !

Definitely top gear! Can hang a bit in colder weather so is good to spray late afternoon and next day scratch! But when sun is shining it’s class! The bags are better too and don’t get clattered in van!nice work btw 👌

I started using ecorend a few year back it's alot more creamy and scratches up lovely compared to other brands, really nice work mate

Top tip. Use a nice clean scratcher and you won't get much burr left on the scratch coat. Good work.

It upset me a bit seeing those long bits of wood going in the skip, I would have added them to my wood collection. Mind you, I have had some bits of wood for over 20 years without using them, so maybe best to skip them after all…

If the render is hard enough I use a scratcher first then I bar it’s far easier ,but don’t use a cheap scratcher buy the laser cut one which you change the blade it will get the wall nearly as flat as a i bar.

I watch you and Blaine from plastering for beginners and I've learned a lot from you pair sharing your knowledge/ talents and I thank you both for that. My question I have for you is this.. I'm base coating my house with HP12. Now I'm putting on a thin coat first and building it up to 12mm . My problem is ruling off. I'm finding the hp12 is being dragged off with my feather edge like it's sticking. I'm constantly washing down the feather edge to keep it as wet as possible as this is the only way I can stop the dragging. I'm ruling no more than 6 foot height at a time and the 4 foot width of the feather edge. Is this my doing our is hp12 the issue?? I'm a complete novice at this..

this guys a top tradesman he just knows his craft inside out,

Great video. I wish you showed how thick you need to go before you scrape back as it's different from sand and cement or float and set

I’m looking to do this on the bottom of my house which is timber frame. What would you recommend to put on the bottom to render onto? Is that concrete tile board ok?

thats a real trade well done

just fantastic as always amazing stuff iv been the same keep the job super clean good for you good for the client everybody's happy.

Is this their mococouche one coat stuff? I had to patch repair a back wall recently and I used a brand called tarmac their version of one coat stuff and it was awful to use, half of it falls off the wall! Would love to come spend a day or 2 with you and learn to plaster. Love your channel mate keep it up

Id use hp12 all day over that hpx crap.

Thanks Kirk. I’ve only just done a few jobs on these new renders but I’ve only ever used eco rend. I found it to be a great product but I have nothing to compare it to apart from sand aand cement 😂

Good job that!

U can always take a sheet of plywood and stand a few sheets orver the window so you dont break em im a mason 😊

How would you handle small render/roughcast repairs kirk? Council house specials currently at my work and i wish i was more competent to do a better job than the ones that do it. Although i think 2 minutes effort would do that they dont even give the repair a brush, just topcoat applied straight to the webs and nests

Ya know what kirk, when I first seen it on a job what customer bought I thought ffs whats this shit he's bought, turns out it's 1 of best I've used, luv the stuff.

Great finish and super clean, job well done!

Did one these yrs ago we put expanding metal & beads on the laths then rendered save taking laths & felt off

id love to get our house rendered ,id also love if you worked up here in glasgow because i love your professional attitude and skill,,these few people i can trust ,your a one off mate

Tidy work lads, mesh and base over the block is brilliant ,this has happen to me here in the states and have had to drive 3, hrs away to get buckets of acrylic Finish coat👍

Proper job Kirk You're "The Master"

Great info, Kirk. thanks very much. And a lovely job too, well done mate. 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Kirk is it possible to render on top of concrete dwarf wall with a 10 to 12 mil render in one go. cheers. I am using sand and cement render

Top job lads, I know wot I'm gonna try next !

Ecorend mr1 is one of best renders out there ,used them all this sprays well flattens great so easy to use

Top job! When are you doing next door?

Do you not fancy getting a wee Ritmo machine? You seem to do a lot of rendering. Hope your doing well. Channel is doing great.

Brilliant video ! I tried Plastering once and it took me hostage. Inside Job obviously - the Trowel was in on it.

Ecorend is a lovely product to use, only one I use, never have any problems

How thick was that base coat kirk? And did you do two layers of it?? And does eco rend do there own basecoat? Have you switched over to that as well if they do one? Cheers 👍👍👍

Been using eco for a few years and think its the best,we spray it on though. Even the eco thin coat is better than the others i think, been using that today in this heat😢

Top job again, heard good things from eco rend will have to give it a go

Very helpful advice, thank you

Brilliant video, thanks, do you fancy coming to Cornwall to render our next bungalow

I don’t get it. Why get scaffolding up and go through the whole rendering trouble and cost…. And don’t insulate??? What is the point then?

Good job mate have you found that now you've switched to eco rend are you still using HB12 as your basecoat?

Hi I’ve got a couple of questions firstly I’ve not done any of this bagged render I’ve only done sand and cement which i don’t bother with now but wouldn’t mind a go at this. Not having done any is it a fine line between leaving it too proud for rubbing back and getting it just right? And I’ve heard it can be hassle lots of sheeting down and you can be waiting around for ages waiting to rub it up depending on the time of year, what’s your view?

I'm a careful worker but since the clumsy wife started working with me I've had to get an account at the glass shop.

Mint job 👍

Hii how much you charge for that job ? 👍🏻 look so nice 👌 perfect

Hi kirk. Forgot to ask. Do you put stress patches on your window and door openings. I find it helps.

I have learned many new things by watching your videos the past few weeks, i do skim only but now after your tutorial on K-render i will do this as well soon👊💪

That i-bar, why don’t you weld a handle to it make it a tool!

top man quality job not used eco rend yet will definitely be givin it a try used weber was a pain in ass an k rend not as bad but depending on weather can be a pain

Classic, good lad Kirk.

Best on the market mate. Try it a bit wetter next time you can put it on wet as fuck without slumping.

My X mrs wants me too put out of date k rend on my sons garage. Now it’s 8 months out of date and has been sitting outside all this time. She got 50 bags for £50 on market place I’ve told her it’s no good but she won’t listen and is pestering me too put it on. Could I have your advice so I can show her your and get her off my case😊

What bead sizes you using

Weve just done 200m of parex monoblonco... mucb better than k-rend. Colour so 100% and no stones in it

Did you use render grit before base coat

Great job mate, i just rendered my new porck with k-rend and it did exactly as you said, curled off when trowelling on, the HO12 basecoat was lively to work with though! Whats the basecoat like from ecorend compared to K-rend? Do you now go all out ecorend? Keep up the videos Kirk, they are fantastic, i cant believe you can do it all and still get the job done as quickly as you do, born natural presenter! 😊

You mentioned it needs to be a cavity wall. That is not a cavity wall. It’s probably a 150mm block

Looks nice good job

I used this a couple of years ago and it's a very good product. It does have an achilles heal!! It's very hard to find a stockist that holds many of the colours, and so you have to get it delivered. If you're slightly short or have to re-do a bit for any reason, you cant just pop down the rd and get a couple of bags, the supplier will charge you a woping £60 delivery and they don't really like splitting a pallet either (50 bags). I had to drive to Essex to pick couple of bags up off of Facebook marketplace in the end and won't use this stuff again.

Down here in south Devon, unless it’s a new site build. It’s all sand, cement and lime. Have used k rend on some small jobs, floats up lovely, with magic sponge float. I’m always interested in using new products, have a wall to render at home, if I can get it I’ll try eco rend. Thanks for your video on this. All the best

How much would 55 sq meters cost rough price to nearest £2k .. including scaffolding etc

Very nicely done that matey. cheers

great vid as always ..... wear a mask when your mixing gear up though , i have had health issues as an older guy and my money is on all the crap ive breathed in over the decades ...just sayin'

I don't do mono as I just think it's messy scraping all that material off , however I love eco rend thin coat silicone and base coat just a shame it's mega dear compared to other brands especially the top coat a tub over £100 😅😅

"so we'll go off for lunch...... right its been 3.5hrs " ....🤣🤣🤣

Hi bro, you guys workout?

Hi Love the Tutorials any chance of showing ones with Cracks in outside render I have use a grinder 4 inch to rake out and used a twisted helix bar and sometimes depression is shown in the plaster any recomdations to prevent the depressions in the plaster Thanks in advance

Friday!!!! BBQ + Beer time !! 👍

Take a bit and go in neat!

Beautiful job, mate.

Stained to fuck in 12 months if not treated kr3nd very poor product just goes dirty and mouldy

Hey Kirk , interested about the i bar , where do you get these from as I’ve not seen this technique, also what float did you use . Brilliant job looked so smart

Quality stuff Kirk. If you knew you were using the Ecorend from the off, would you have used the same products for both the base coat and mesh?
