[@stephenmoore9691]

Love the way you cut the brickwork out without all the brick dust going in side with the window left in excelliant job boys

[@buddypeach]

You're a credit to yourself. I'm doing this self same same job myself with younger brother in a couple of weeks and this video is just what I needed for that guiding hand! xx

[@tekberg]

I'm not sure how anyone could dislike this video. The dancing alone deserves a Love! Thank you for showing me its possible to replace windows with a french door in such a great way.

[@Stucrompton1]

and i thankyou for watching, dislikes are from people who get satisfaction through trying to drag down others to elevate themselves.

[@Tylerbigarms]

Stunning. I can’t believe how much it changed the look of the house

[@zedman442]

Lovely job mate, you and your dad work well together. I liked the amusing look he had on you while you were doing that jig lol. Looking forward to the in depth bricky vids.

[@Stucrompton1]

+Zed Man thanks mate

[@nathan21388]

[@Stucrompton1]

[@jayne1xx1]

[@stevebates2393]

Hi Stu Stumbled across your site whilst looking for info on toe and heeling a French door. Brilliant and informative and more importantly amusing. Keep it up mate.

[@Stucrompton1]

+Steve Bates thanks Steve mate

[@jamesthornber6991]

A fantastic video stu pal.i really enjoy watching u and KC doing jobs 😁👍🏻

[@May52938]

You made it look simple. I will know if it is later this year. Great help to see you do it thanks

[@simomilosic7345]

Stu I am also in window door bussines. Removing and installing them and also finishing jobs. The only difference is our windows and doors are opening inside the room or place not outside like yours. But very nice job indeed. I can tell u r very precise and meticulous 👍👍. And the music is allways good. God bless you and K.C. too.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Stu , and KC .

[@johnwilson230]

[@mikeberry304]

[@rickybojangles162]

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers Ricky so i dont have speed things up so they will be longer but will still be doing bricky videos and other building videos as usual :)

[@rickybojangles162]

stu crompton great bro! it's good to have a balance between teaching and presenting I suppose because sometimes I do have questions about the specific parts of a job. so more in depth videos would be great for people learning. would definitely pay for longer tutorial videos man. much love

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah mate thanks :)

[@gracerichards3]

Great dance. Fantastic job from New York.

[@streetwise-ray5499]

[@Stucrompton1]

[@revivingnicole9586]

@@Stucrompton1 Hi we found your videos in searching about exterior French doors. Can you tell me where to find these French doors I am in the USA and having a hard time find ones that swing out with protected hinges. Who manufactures these?

[@chapman2321]

Great job!

[@charlieday5]

Does there need to be any flashing or dpm for door or window installations into brick?

[@laurencerussell3947]

Appreciate you being a part of the channel Doug 👍

[@jordanw4798]

say the house is already renovated and the french door conversion is taking place. What would you use to remove the interior blocks?

[@sarathomas3350]

Do you have a list of all the equipment and tools you used please? I'm about to do the same task on my house. Your video is really helpful, thanks so much!

[@craigantrobus6318]

Love the channel Stu. Out of interest what would a French door like this cost to supply and fit? I have one to change when able to so will be looking at quotes. Cheers

[@seabelleball3145]

Great video.

[@samariag78]

Awesome 👍🏽!

[@Stucrompton1]

+samariag78 thanks buddy

[@sheddweller1969]

Great Video Lads proper British Graffters. This is my next project in the spring 2019 How much would it normally cost nowadays for the job to be done for you Either supply and fit french doors or fit only. Many Thanks

[@arnoldasliaugaudas4213]

I think that Stu is funniest ant best dancer bricklayer in Britania!

[@TheAudiostud]

"Great Work Well Done"

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers John

[@fuzmaginty5822]

nice job👍

[@siprior7393]

Stu - over last few days i have watched many of your videos and there wonderful - and very helpful.... Keep up the good work.. Just wondering if you can tell me where you get your windows, doors, french doors from? ... I am also a local lad to you and require some Upvc Grey french doors... Many thanks Simon.

[@charliethompson4236]

I've actually got to build some wall back in, as the new door going in (main front door....composite job), is narrower than the existing window. Any reason what I can't use the bricks that I take out from below the window? Guessing, expanding foam important everywhere???

[@uzobonasolutions]

Loved the dance😊😅

[@armandoalcala8131]

Good job

[@bossyoudontneedtoknow8822]

Good Video Bro.

[@Stucrompton1]

cheerz bro

[@amandadoyle2676]

amazing amabout to do this inmy new flat cant wait massive differnce it makes

[@demewharton9646]

Can the original window frame be expanded to fit a larger door? working with a window smaller in width.

[@84darq]

Great stuff. Any idea how much this would cost?

[@agoraphobicflyer]

Hi Stu, does this conversion come under building regs?

[@LowlyGamer]

What would a guide price be for this type of job to be carried out?

[@ratchriat1716]

the finished is top.

[@AzH1988UK]

Do you fix doors top and bottom or just sides??

[@bobogliddabrun]

Did you replace the insulation? I didn't see it

[@twigletking]

Just bought some second hand doors watched your vid to get some tips glass already fitted do u think I should I hang doors and fit frame then rehang doors cheers

[@annettes5866]

Happy Birthday to you

[@rebekahcodlinart]

No flashing?? How will it be watertight?

[@helenreed5815]

Hi well done on a good job. I am wanting to take out a kitchen window and replace with french doors - i wont need planning permission to do this will i? and roughly how much wud it cost. Wud u come to Doncaster to do it lol do u travel that far

[@kimoraxl6433]

Did they need planning for the install

[@markfelts1128]

very good

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks mark

[@B3NNYI3OY]

Nice video :) how come you don't key in new bricks up the sides?

[@darrenjames3180]

Because the cost would be far more and the whole process could not be done in a day as you would have to wait for the mortar to set before fixing the frame. You would also need to board the opening up over night.

[@backwheelbob46rr]

Old video I know, how do you know if the lintel is right above that window to drop it out without support beams etc whilst taking it out ? Cheers 👍🏼

[@storytimewithnannyuk8185]

Why have you put a windowsill on a door? Our builder did this...not practical....need floor running to doors could you explain why...is there a reason why this was done?

[@KrazyAsif786]

how much would that cost to do?

[@Summer27Rain]

5:07 is my favorite part haha

[@Shad0wC0mpany2]

Summer Rain Absolutely!

[@dillonenf]

Great work man. How can I contact you I'm based at Worksop, Nottinghamshire. And how much does it cost to build?

[@jetmayfair999]

Hi Mate, good informative video, I plan on doing a similiar job myself....but I was under the impression that you need to put cavity closures in the sides before fitting the door, maybe you could enlighten me, cheers

[@Stucrompton1]

up to u buddy do that if you want.:)

[@Vinncent360]

Can you let us know how to measure the size of the door you should order, say for example if the gap is 2 meters do you order a frame to measure 2 meters or do you order slightly smaller and if so how much smaller? Tia

[@JG-nx3jg]

I actually prefer these to the currently-fashionable aluminium bifolds (invariably coloured in anthracite). Especially when used on period properties.

[@TheLuminousOne]

Quality.

[@danh2204]

For replacing windows with french doors, do any structural checks need to be done or should it be fine to just put the French doors in. I do have a lintel in place, so should this be fine?

[@Stucrompton1]

as long as there is a solid lintel above you should be good!

[@danh2204]

stu crompton thanks :)

[@holhaohangshing2119]

Great

[@leer774]

Is it normal to fit doors with the doors on the hinges?... Mine weigh a ton was thinking it'd be a hell of a lot easier if I take the doors off first?...or is it a nightmare to take em off?

[@tonyroberts8350]

If you've got flag hinges then they lift straight off, and yes it makes it a lot easier.

[@mickgreen8672]

nice

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks mick

[@missdyi]

the running man...hehe

[@emlynstockford3312]

How would you normally do the internal wall removing (when its not empty!) Greta videos by the way.

[@fatnidge]

Lump hammer, Bolster chisle, Soft brush and pan

[@roontunes]

Thanks for posting this. are those screws driven directly into the bricks ? No plastic plug ?

[@Stucrompton1]

+roontunes yeah they are concrete screws 👍

[@roontunes]

thanks and a big thank you for sharing your experience. I've followed some of your conny brickwork video but have you ever had to do a mini-eyebrow type dormer to fit a victorian conny against a sloping roof ?

[@Cogibear]

I hate youtube.........4 adverts to watch this video, i nearly gave up. I remember the free days of youtube. I miss them :-)

[@MrRadtech22]

Badass

[@bigjohnnyboots2802]

Another cracking job mucks just one question was there no call to use DPC around the door as this is the way we do it in Ireland.. all the best

[@Stucrompton1]

not when installing pvc window bud as its is plastic

[@barbarameis1346]

You are ADORABLE!!!

[@jamesfraser1622]

Nice yet again mate. Are you a brickie to trade?

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers and yes as well as window fitter and many more :)

[@qentsy]

Are you based in Manchester?

[@tianacampuzano9527]

What’s the name of the song and artist of the first song on this video?

[@Shad0wC0mpany2]

Tiana Campuzano kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2wfp6ud8uUgNk

[@bum-edwhu66]

tidy job

[@prankumarsarkar3401]

I have. Exprean. 6 year in shout. Kotea

[@diamondslife314]

What is the cost of a job like this??

[@pcat1378]

Look to pay anything from £300 per window upwards depending on labour costs

[@diamondslife314]

What if the wall under the windows has a small return vent. Can it still be used???

[@Qletty]

I love the youtube is doing advertisement under your videos, I hope they pay to you a little as well

[@annettes5866]

Definately Europe Block construction less fire risk

[@johnreynolds2055]

5:07 😆👍🏻

[@jonhcontreras]

Greetings from California... Come dance at my house🤠

[@antoniov4152]

Is there a need for a permit to do this type of work ? I'm Just wondering I'm planning on doing it by myself to.

[@fatnidge]

contact local building control. fill in BN1 form. Did one this week in wakefield. cost £160. For that building inspector comes on completion and signs off work so no problems later when selling house.

[@yxhankun]

missing a concrete step.

[@jeanettekniebusch9532]

Why Christmas music!

[@Stucrompton1]

Must of been Christmas time 🎄

[@successfulMillennial]

But there's already a door there

[@monkeydna7490]

Good job but I could do without the music. Just saying.

[@likmaerse]

At least put a new internal sill on guys ,come on.

[@tlabort]

Good tradesman but get rid of that music on all your videos

[@fireblaster9961]

Tunes

[@tautliners]

Can you do a video without that awful music.

[@loupiscanis9449]
