Can I just say. After watching several of your videos I would like to say that you are one of the few content creators on YT that actually deserves the ad revenue that they get from their videos. With such quality, relaxing, satisfying and informative content you definitely have deserved it! Keep it up! 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@mikepeters7847]

This is not construction, this is ART! I needed some guidance for my project and WOW did I find it. Craftsmen like you are a rare and dying breed my friend and you should be very proud of yourself. You are a blessing to anyone lucky enough to be able to have you do work in their home. Big thumbs up from Texas!!!!!

[@willjohnson477]

Adverts are a small sacrifice when the content is of excellent quality Keep up the good work buddy

[@zedman442]

Nice work guys. Good to see KC back. I’ve hit those metal ties a few times when cutting 4” soil pipe! They are tough!

[@danlincoln7452]

Alright stu mate, love your videos pal I was a labourer for a good few years, due to relocating 300 miles away from my home town I now work in retail, I miss it so much! your videos always bring back such good memories! Always look forward to them mate keep it up 👍 x

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Nice to see KC back Stu. The transformation is amazing. Proper job guys!!!

[@diywooddesign1548]

Great job bud, gave me the perfect ideas for a out of place window I have! Keep up the fantastic work... I'll keep watching and clicking the ads if you keep providing cracking content like this 👌

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

Have to say stu you both always do a cracking job of doors and windows you have it down to fine art now 👍

[@Danny-do2ov]

Genuine Top Guys! Great work as always.

[@stevewushu]

The similarities between you and me are uncanny! I’m also an actor and I run a small fencing business with my Dad since 2005! Great vids btw mate. Very helpful for me working on my own house.

[@lioninwinter9316]

[@bigmort6916]

Giving this a thumbs up before watching the entire video , just for filming the birds 🥰 I'll watch the rest now 🥳☺️

[@danielbarlow4772]

Nothing wrong with a advert mate, it gives abit of publicity to your channel with suggested video to random people, plus adds abit of money in the pocket from KZbin if your channel gets more subs...it’s a no brainer👍🏻

[@Stucrompton1]

True, cheers Daniel bud

[@trinitysmate]

[@TheRmeehan]

Dead right putting the ads in. Obviously they can be a pain but its a worthwhile compromise for your videos that offer a great educational insight into different trades. More power to you Stu.

[@Stucrompton1]

[@simongarland3406]

Hi stu, are you able to self certify this kind of work or did you get building control to check it out after you were finished

[@dormindont1]

Красивая работа, чисто работаете👍, молодцы, без суеты и спешки.

[@african3974]

As on of your worst critics in existence(just a hunter of mistakes, I'm not even qualified LOL) I have to admit that to date I could not find any. So much so that I ended up subscribing to your channel ....so this is me confessing that I love your work and I'm madly in love with your profession. Truly professional handy work & a golfer , you are my kinda guy

[@african3974]

this is from SOUTH AFRICA, PORT ELIZABETH( BEAUTIFUL PLACE)

[@fabianamartins8539]

Beautiful! 😊👍

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks fabiana :)

[@MrBlue-qx8de]

Beautiful.

[@dafyddrees8252]

I was wondering what kind of screws are you using to fix the door frame? Do you need plugs of any kind? Love your videos.

[@davec1704]

Yea the adds are np Stu i let them play to help out your Channel,Great Job btw!

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks dave i appreciate that budd

[@dyfedrob]

Very helpful thank you

[@adamjwhite50]

nothing wrong with adverts mate we don't mind watching them as you do a good job

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers Adam mate

[@huttonnick]

What’s the music track playing at the start? Sounds so much like Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel but I know it’s not.

[@luisromanzavala]

Meticulous work, nice!

[@sunnymudhar1864]

Stu, whats the foam and adhesive called you are using for the sills?

[@93eze2]

Good job Bro good luck for the play as well mate if it was in Bournemouth I would get ticket to watch x

[@MrMultiH]

Hey gents, loving every video, keep the banter up, it makes these way more watchable than some channel's dull videos. Just wondering how come the new door went in the outside skin? It that for regs or the house owners preference on that one?

[@OldRaver]

Worth an ad or two in exchange for your expertise, fella. 👍

[@geansai333]

once you have the frame in, are you screwing it/bolting the sides of it into brick (drilled holes) or into some other filler?

[@stevendunn5430]

Hi Stu. Dont mind the adverts. Better for you. Awesome job as per. Keep up the good work and great content mate 👍

[@stevendunn5430]

And those mastic jeans are fine. Served his time in them 😉

[@chrishowell1948]

Great vid stu hope to see you in a film one day that would be cool

[@thetessellater9163]

Once again, an excellent job, Stu. I would have liked to have seen the cavity closure treatment. I presume Build Regs should be followed by using insulated closers? Noted there is no cavity insulation there either, something well worth doing.

[@charliethompson4236]

Excellent. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I've bought an ex showroom Front Door and am pulling out a window (that was put in, where the garage door was by a previous owner)as we are totally renovating and changing our place!! What screws are best to use when fitting the doors? Size and....do you put raw plugs in?? Thanks again...great video's!!!

[@MrRadtech22]

Love it

[@delllacoste]

Hi stu cracking job as usual. Would you be able to do a step by step video of fitting a pvc door, like showing how to get it all level and plumb? 👍

[@thomasdoylepainting8992]

Hi good video I was just wondering do you have to fix the sill with screws and do you need DPM also thanks 👍

[@kamsobieraj4277]

I have a question do you need planning premission to change window in the kitchen Just like this to french doors ?

[@mohammada7508]

Great video and an interested character. Quick question, please. Do French door installed on the inner or outer skin of a wall?

[@jasbo7288]

Do you batton to the exact size then use the blade width to give you the clearance of about 5mm overall???

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Another great job and video 👍but KC's trousers look like he has let all of London pigeons sit on his lap😉 yes I said SIT!

[@happyteddy7034]

got to love them jeans :)

[@_tmmy_]

Those French doors look very modern.

[@mattpayne7863]

Nice job stu

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers matt pal

[@loviousmathe2147]

Perfecto 🎉🎉

[@georgelippitt7362]

Your a inspiration mate keep up the good work. Your brick work is real nice clean it take hard work to get to your standard. Do you work in the Leicestershire area because I'm looking for the quality of work you do. 👍

[@fatoshistoricosecuriosos6136]

Seus videos são maravilhosos,me fizeram comprar ferramentas da OX aqui no Brasil hehehe.

[@sunilsagar1983]

Hey I just want to knw that there was 2 pipe that connects to heater so did u cut the pipe or run the the door frame. Can u please let me know thank u

[@gotohowie]

I stayed watching cause of the MUSIC! 😄

[@parker1685]

Great work pal.. I know what it can be like fitting doors lol

[@davelowe1977]

He's a genius with a sealant gun is KC!

[@soxxx09]

Im looking at moving a kitchen external door to where a pre existing small window is. Would this work? As the window width is much smaller than door width. Would it be okay to widen the width or would it cause damage to the external walls?

[@kenzychristy87]

where can this type of french door with top window be purchased. is it worth it to have a french door out into a garden from an extension room or window? and a side door which is not part of the room.

[@sonnyshap]

Good Video, i didn't see any wall plugs being used when the frame was being attached? Did you drill, move the frame back, add wall plugs , push the frame back and screw?

[@mannydiaz2603]

When your cutting the brick outdoors, how do you find the floor level inside? How do you know how far down to cut the brick?

[@TewkesburyBear]

Count the courses.

[@josealgole]

Que medidas tiene el espacio donde hicieron esta remo delación?

[@tomgrove6558]

I have a conversion to do, how do I know if I need to add a lintel?

[@katiejohns3415]

why are some windows/doors fixed onto outer skin and some it looks like are installed in the middle of the cavity?

[@philstation335]

hi Stu the window u took out wats the average price to fit a window of that size

[@mhailo1]

Hi mate how would you close that cavity?

[@collo9731]

look ace them

[@peterwood2246]

I'll still watch wae adverts big yin, love watching pro's at work great job im just about to grab a hammer and try and make some thing 😁

[@parkymanutd]

Great job. Please buy KC new jeans 🤣🤣keep the vids coming stu

[@Shadow-jo5yf]

Hello. I found your install very interesting, recently I had a patio door removed and a French door installed. Big question mark arose, the cold coming in from ground level is very noticeable. You did something different to what I saw the installers do. You put down a cill? And foamed insulated it before you placed the frame in place, that was not done here and I wonder would this be the reason the cold is coming into room through what I think is the floor at bottom of frame. I appreciate any expert advice you could give,

[@kawo666]

The foam under the cill is only part of the story. Yes, it is necessary, but there's one more thing worth checking. I.e. can you see the vent brick externally, on the lower right-hand side of the french door? This is to vent the cavity. When creating a new opening, it would be good practice to use some form of cavity closer to prevent the draft. On the floor slab level this could be achieved with something as simple as a cut-to-size piece of polystyrene foamed around for full seal. Good luck.

[@arjones57]

KC is great!!!

[@markodjukic7666]

Why no lump hammer, in evidence, when taking the wall down?

[@BestUserNameUK]

That's some step down to the garden.

[@skeeburton3360]

Sweet

[@TheManCanix]

Great vid Stu! You’re an inspiration. How did you seal up te upper cavity above the frame/Doors? As there was a cavity between both bricks. Greetings!

[@tevenweven7860]

A up Stu, good job btw Do you always put the sill down first or can you attach it to the window prior to putting it in? Cheers Steve

[@Stucrompton1]

never attach before installation because you may need to move the frame left or right

[@lazylad9064]

How's the acting going stu👍 I hope you remember us when your rich and famous and living in beverly hills 😀😀😀. Another top job, good to see you working together 👍

[@Stucrompton1]

Lol mate cheers pal

[@hepburn118]

G'day from South Australia Stu. Could you please tell me what that piece was you glued down with foam along the bottom of the opening? Does that expanding foam really glue things like that down to brick well? Could you also tell me what the fixings you used to screw the frame to the brick were please, and did you use packers between the frame and the brick when you screwed the frame down? I would like to do a few window and door changes around my home here and while I have some construction experience I have never done this so some more from you already great videos would be handy to have. If you have this in your other videos, could you just tell me which ones please? I will also need to change lintels in some areas so If you have done this can you point me to that too please?

[@berdakb]

Hi, how did you fill/fix the hole on the top of the door after installation?

[@seniorgolfprogress83]

berdakb hi there that will be formed and plasterboard it👍

[@Guide504]

Looks good, how do you get the customer their fenistration certificate for their insurance?
