Stu you're such a legend mate. I'm a bricklaying apprentice and the different views i get from watching your videos -ie tips , about how horrible you apprenticeship was and even the little things just from watching you lay etc. Never stop uploading!! You're class.

[@matthewallan1992]

Love your videos man, they've inspired me to go into masonry/bricklaying myself big respect from Canada,QC

[@adamgale2508]

Another brilliant video stu really enjoyed it

[@ANK51]

You guys are clean, why can’t all builders be like this

[@zedman442]

Tidy work mate. Handy being the right size!

[@jlawlor7560]

Great work lad very clean

[@antonios4926]

Thanks for your videos. Does the elolution cutter have a connection for water on it? If not, would it work to attach the water hose up high on the line of cutting to eliminate the dust?

[@HeyLookWhatICanDo]

Ready to give it a go thanks to you 👏🏼

[@Coddywaffle]

Nice work lads, but my house next door 😁

[@Kyle-rf5mb]

How do you ensure ur cut on the outside is the same on the inside (I imagine the stihl saw blade isn't big enough to go through both courses. Cut the brick take it out then do same with internally?) Also on a bungalow doing this on a wall with no window would u need a lintel?

[@hassemsadiq]

Good job lads

[@khtreelandscape8036]

Great job I love going hard landscaping when I can nice change

[@alizcool1]

Quality job this is the kind of builder you want

[@sebastianwells5635]

Great video as ever, just interested to understand what you use to get the cement off the old bricks. Thanks

[@MRAPEXPREDATOR1]

I don’t miss those days of a brick down 😬always knew when a team had jacked on a brick down as the van was still full of bricks 🤣

[@TheAudiostud]

"Great Work, Well Done"

[@louiesworkshop2023]

Great job lads, louie northern Ireland UK

[@leedsutd3413]

Top job pal 👍

[@R1Custom]

Lovely! Great job lads

[@prettyus50plus]

Very nicely done! I asked my husband to convert our dining room window into french doors and build a patio to walk out on. Can you build a patio and film it? Or recommend a video on DIY outdoor patio building (wooden or concrete)

[@ConcreteJungle7]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@EM-vc6qr]

Nice job again stu and k.c. just interested if you could do a vid on how you price a job for example if you go day rates or you go for block/brick m2 rates,like the extension did you say itll take say 3 weeks for 1 man i want 700 a week so 2100 or is it m2 rates.

[@Al_gewoon_al]

Impressive!

[@adamjwhite50]

well done stu and kc

[@ratchriat1716]

top work

[@ryanh3285]

What size is that evolution saw and does it go through a single brick in one go? I've found a standard size stihl blade doesn't.great video.

[@krisrickson853]

Longer vids stu please mate enjoy them too much! Cheers, good job though 👍

[@ravsingh9571]

Fantastic job mate, nice and tidy 👌👍

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers rav

[@bigmort6916]

Very nice and tidy work 🤩

[@Chris-kh2fm]

Hi Stu, I have a very similar construction to my house (old) so this has been very informative. How did you go about a ramp for the outside.

[@samconibear3506]

Knowledge becomes easy once learning about these projects

[@warpighammer3760]

Very good work .

[@daboabieman]

Done this in an old cottage today. The walls were 2 ft thick. Absolute nightmare lol. Great vid though 👍🏻

[@JT-mr3db]

Perfect, about to do this to one of my windows!

[@revivingnicole9586]

Love these doors where / how can I find such that swing outside with protected hinges ?

[@peterevans3809]

Great video Stu!

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks peter mate :)

[@priscillaresendez158]

Thanks for this video! Im looking to getting a window in my small bathroom.

[@Julia-zz3gl]

Makes a real change to watch DIY in the UK 😋

[@markgjoni9407]

I loved french doors wooww

[@imm311]

Great job! God bless!

[@BilalShahid-ot8my]

I REALLY REALLY DO WISH I COULD WORK AS DOORS AND WINDOWS FITTING MATE. ITS CHALLENGING WORK AND I REALLY REALLY LOVE DOING CHALLENGING WORK

[@pauljamieconstruction1871]

Great job, i always enjoy watching your videos. 1 question, would the bricks on the reveal not need changing where you spin down with grinders

[@anthonym8026]

Nice one, ever had a go at stone work? Thanks

[@LordKingPotato]

Here in Jersey we would sit those doors on a lead tray and a cill ( not always). Then we use fixings to secure the frame, then foam and silicone inside and out.

[@seniorgolfprogress83]

DanDiabloJSY hi Dan yes we all have our own ways of doing things so long as the job is right it doesn’t matter and the customer is happy that is the main thing and yeah thanks watching👍

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Guys!!! Nice to see u back on our screens!!!!

[@triniraleigh3936]

Awesome 👍🏼 ❤️ it.

[@HONCH123]

Bloody Marvellous, Thanks

[@gillion2700]

Nice job thanks guys...

[@klmbuilders5385]

I have the same Evolution electric brick and concrete saw. I love it and works great! We just took a window out of a brick wall and installed a 3-0 x 6-8 door. I'm installing exterior aluminum trim today. Kinda scratching my head over the top aluminum that goes up to the brick lentil.

[@nahlaparker3270]

Why can't builders be so handsome! 😉

[@jimmyregardlolpe1066]

Hey i just found your channel and love the content! Its one of my dream to do what your doing, to build things like buildings by yourself but i also understand doing that job day in and out is therefore a physically demanding job. Therefore i was wondering, if you could do a video about the lifestyle yu need have, such things yu cant do (like eating certain like pizza or smoking all the time) and generally about the job/when yu should rest, like can you and should you work 7days a week- wont it lead to back ache and so forth. It would really help me and i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and btw keep up the great work!

[@cordellestewart4997]

Do you need a support beam if you replace a window with doors

[@DYLANYOUSONOVABITCH]

Stu: Hows your day been KC? KC:..yea..

[@zedkrueger3125]

good job

[@rickybojangles162]

This video did really well stu! Good job boys. Haven't dropped a comment in a while, how are you stu?❤️

[@Stucrompton1]

I’m great Ricky pal hope you’re good bro

[@rickybojangles162]

stu crompton all good mate. Any chance I could drop you an email or a message somewhere, I have a couple of questions you might be able to help with. Cheers buddy :)

[@Stucrompton1]

Yeah sure, email is in description Ricky 👍

[@keenangreen37]

Is best bricky your company 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Stucrompton1]

Yes keenan

[@thomashitchen8719]

Hi mate, how much would you charge roughly for converting a window to French door? The house is concrete with a render on the outside. Just wondering what I can expect from my quotes. Also, I need to have a patio installed. Do you think it makes a difference which order I have them done? Patio-doors/ doors/patio. Cheers

[@supernube5051]

stu crompton so am i correct in thinking that if you're removing a window to fit doors.. they're is already a lintel.. or whatever they are called.. in place.... so it's just a case of remove and fit ? Thank you

[@kylemorris681]

How do u measure the hight off the door I got the window width do u measure from the floor off the house to top off windows as I’m 60 house so see damp course is difficult

[@Tyangeluv]

Hi! Looks great! I was wondering if you can share about how much this would cost? I am interested to do this on my master. Thanks!

[@dodoebrahimmahmoud]

What a effort 👌

[@backwheelbob46rr]

Top job, "👍

[@donaldmcintyre761]

Nice job , u both made a good job 👍 tidy work

[@JonathanHilierChannel]

Can anyone tell me what foam they are using to secure the doors? Thanks!

[@cocobearnoski]

Nice

[@fuzmaginty5822]

nice job this👍

[@tudurparry4636]

Do you always put expanding foam

[@katemcilwain8061]

Cute!

[@jessebaldwin1913]

As soon as I get some money saved up I'm going for this. Hey it's Egress

[@Jason52597]

What was the reason for removing the DPC?

[@robertpaget809]

Just a quick question the new doors are higher off the floor than the old ones not very disabled access from outside 👍

[@MsSanya00]

How much does something like this cost?

[@mariabarnet9011]

Do you need planning permission to change a window into french doors? Does it take one day to do the job? I wonder what the cost would be for the job alone (as the window might be more or less expensive according to one's choices.)

[@alexmactavish6343]

Needa do similar soon. How come there’s no need to get the dpc under the door?

[@Stucrompton1]

the cill is plastic

[@MissFamaron]

Happy to fi d this video we are going to c9nver our window into beautiful French doors

[@heroknaderi]

I enjoyed your video I am doing the same thing too. good Job.

[@user-nt1pf3wg5m]

Good afternoon I have been watching your videos and was very impressed with the professionalism of yours I would like you to tell me how much a conservatory like this one costs to build I live in London Surrey Thanks Raphael

[@gardenrose264]

Did the first door have a sill?

[@lazylad9064]

Good job stu.....you two should be doormen....sorry I'll get me coat.,😀😀😀👍. Thought you'd retired whilst I've not heard off you for a couple of weeks.

[@Stucrompton1]

ive been il pal and run down so ive taken a rest

[@wag1daz08]

Top job, just wondering if you know the rough price you charged for this job as I see it was 6 years ago, looking at smdoing something similar I my new house

[@davidhoeft3692]

what would the cost of this be?

[@007_Damo]

Why did you not leave the DPC so that you had a double barrier, i.e. the door and DPC?

[@tekopikin]

I am planning a similar project like this for our bungalow. I plan to convert a 16 inch (42cm) wide window into French doors. I know this clip is about 2 years old but I’m hoping I’ll get a response from the channel’s owner or anyone who’s able to assist ☺️. How difficult a task is it to get the old lintel out and get a longer span lintel to go across the new French door’s frame? There’s about three courses of bricks on the lintel of the exterior wall. Thanks in advance 🙂

[@mjlewis86]

How much roughly does a job like that cost? I want a similar thing done, but this would be with a new french door as opposed to re-purposing. Looks the same size

[@jurwat]

How much is that kind of conversion? (Knocking the old window and putting a french door)

[@keefkhat4337]

Nice Evo cutter there bud.

[@JC-zw9vs]

How come when you cut the brick, it didn't hit the voids and so give a ragged edge? Was it just luck?

[@littleGnT]

Whats the music called?

[@RozanneMiller]

Stu, I want a window and a door removed, so I can have a bifold. How do you advertise yourself? Are you a builder, or window and door fitter? What? What qualifications and accreditations should I look for, when I am looking for the people to do my job? thanks for your help.
