Not just a good bricky but you’re an excellent tradesmen, quality work in Carpentry /finishing jobs , love the variety on this channel mate👌

[@dipper556]

This channel is a breath of fresh air. Thanks bud!

[@Stucrompton1]

well thanks for the lovely comment i appreciate that

[@bigjohnnyboots2802]

Nice handy work lads. Here in the north of Ireland we have to fit from the inside because of the reveals sit out passed the inside and can be a proper nightmare at times...all the best keep the great work and videos up...much love

[@blairybums]

big Johnny boots same in Scotland. Wrestling the window/door to get it in. The cheating way is to do it to the outside skin and put on facings and 6 tubes of silicone!

[@BRUMAICANGYAL87]

You did a fantastic job I hope the customer was pleased with their new door

[@Chanesmyname]

Composite doors make such a big difference, we had Rock doors fitted, look brilliant!

[@ajayb2478]

Have you had any issues with the rock door?

[@Chanesmyname]

@@ajayb2478 No, we have had five fitted in different houses and they have been fantastic for us! The original fitted door from years ago still looks like new. These doors were all the Ultimate model. The best tip for them is to make sure whoever you have fitting them is experienced in fitting them.

[@mikesmultiskills2061]

That lintel fix looks awesome,good job guys 👍🍻

[@leefitton8851]

I’ve watched a few of your videos Stu, which started with your lesson with Dan Whittaker. Just watch this and noticed Mr KC from Chorley GC who I played with earlier this year in a BGA comp, then we met again at Breightmet GC. Small world 😁

[@Stucrompton1]

Small world Lee kc is my dad

[@rubel247]

hi stu love your videos how come you didn't put any expanding foam on the sides and top thanks

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Excellent job, to your usual high standards Stu. Really enjoyed that! =) One can see that that lintel really ought to be replaced. It's got a crack right-through, over the door. And the brickwork around is also shifting. Shame that the home owner doesn't see that as a priority! :O

[@mintylarge8944]

stunning job mate as always

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks james mate

[@charliesinden8711]

[@Stucrompton1]

[@Senna-xi1gr]

[@pablocarter4726]

In the usa we prep concrete paths knock of all the snats and the we install tap cons in and the bonding agent then we aplly compro set .. and it hardens in 45 plus but really quick then u save it to where u need it... keep up the good work man

[@mrblender1970]

Top job again by Stu & Kc 👏👏👏

[@jamesthornber6991]

Fantastic video stu really educational 😁👍

[@stuartthomas3105]

I already have a composite door. But need it replaced, is that an easy job ? Cheers

[@markfelts1128]

Lintel came up well

[@Stucrompton1]

it did mark and it will dry a lighter shade so it should match in fine :)

[@goathearder7031]

Guessin its the rickety old bridge at Warburton, Lymn? Not been over it for a few years but the 12 pence toll always makes me laugh!

[@Stucrompton1]

12p bargain lol

[@shaunchadwick5652]

Nice job. Little tip for you, countersink the fixings 👌🏻 looks 10x better

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers Shaun May look better but I wouldn’t advise as it’s only about 5 mm thick so would be weak, only countersink on thicker gauge plastic or wood 👍

[@andyanderson3898]

Nice work and great video. Looks like your near me I go over the Warburton bridge daily!

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers andy we enjoyed the view worth the 12p :)

[@hagirhagar8088]

Yess

[@TheOffroader7458]

Good job boys

[@Stucrompton1]

+TheOffroader7458 cheers mate

[@650GSF]

did a door on my outhouse last weekend, didn't go to badly for a first go at doing it, I need some trim can you pick that up at places like BQ or do you need to get it from a door and window company ?

[@hqnightgaming468]

Top job and keep up the good work mate

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers mate thanks for watching

[@barsa90]

No foam with frame Must be cold during colder days

[@Jake-jg7kx]

Looks brilliant nice job stu :-)

[@premfence]

lovely job there Stu... altho id say your right KC made the job 😂👌🏼

[@Stucrompton1]

Haha thanks for watching mate

[@Grahams-Grass]

Do you drill though the packers ? Do you leave the packers in place or remove ?

[@fireblaster9961]

I find if you foam up behind where the screws go in and gently screw in, it doesn’t bend the frame in and the foam acts as a packer to bridge the gap....Hold tight

[@lockstar1726]

Nice job! How do you measure up for composite door? Thanks lads

[@AH9J]

*_:Welp:_* I like it, you are the *_Master Of All Stutopia_*

[@Stucrompton1]

master stutopia

[@scottmason6310]

Hi stu, what brand of composite doors do you use?

[@loz9020]

Just watched your video with the house that had the arches! Smashed it first time with that architrave! I'm fitting a upvc composite door tomorrow with a mate. I'm all set and fairly confident but we had an issue with the clearance inside compared to outside as my mate wants laminate layed after. My question is can you fit a FRAME EXTENDER on the bottom of the frame. There is no cill being used either as there is a concrete cill already in place. We were offered a lower threshold but decided that would not work so stuck with the normal height (I think 60mm). So I'm guessing all should be fine and the extender is for the top of door? The vertical frame extender is already attached on the hinge side so it was just the horizontal one I was unsure of. Any answers welcome. Thank you. Great channel. I have subscribed.

[@philipmoore6833]

Nice work lads. Theirs plenty of work in Dublin for good builders. Come over theirs tons of work.

[@5tol3n]

I have to ask I notice you remove a lot of pvc doors and windows and replace them again. Is their a reason eg past is use by date? Or just customers want a different colour. Love the channel from Australia

[@Stucrompton1]

+Seb_the_builder hey Deb they just get old and tired things evolve and get better I'm sure you can see the difference in this job. 👍

[@davidainsworth]

did kc drill through bell wire??

[@fabianamartins8539]

Hi, Stu...👍 Good Job

[@Stucrompton1]

hi fabiana :)

[@stephenjenkinson5196]

Can you change upc door hinges

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

Is the sill included with the door? How do you choose the right sill for a particular situation?

[@zedman442]

Top job as usual mate. What was the price of that door if you don't mind me asking.

[@chrisdodds4971]

Hey Stu love watching you vids. I see you siliconed the cill to the step. When you lifted the door in is that fitted dry to cill ? Just had a door fitted and looks like mine is fitted dry to cill like you did in the video ? Is that normal or is it meant to be siliconed to cill ? Tia

[@abscomm]

Hi Stu, what mix would you recommend for rendering over bricks and could you do a video on that?

[@Stucrompton1]

would use k render for that john got a rendering job next week

[@abscomm]

K render would be great except I am just doing a small repair job so need to match the existing which was not k rend, any idea what mix to use?

[@Stucrompton1]

its hard to say if youre matching in but generally 4;1 with bonding agent like the last video

[@abscomm]

Cheers Stu, that's great.

[@tonyontrack1967]

Hi Stu, do you foam the door before the trim?

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah mate,trims then seal

[@syedaluthfa]

Hi Stu, i watch your brick works. Wanted to ask, do u use the same screw holes in the brick to fit the new steel screws to secure the door?

[@jake2123]

Handsome Builder

[@djrfairfax9036]

Well done kc😎👍😂

[@explorewithant]

Great vid as always,,that warburtons bridge is 5 minutes from my house,,,where you from,,might have a job for you

[@911alps]

Good job stu 👍👍 That pizza looked a bargain but 12p to cross the bridge - mega bargain 😊

[@Stucrompton1]

i know mate double winner

[@markmetters6506]

Do you have to use wall plugs for screws?

[@ACAIDC]

It depends on the type of screw... The screws used in this video don't require wall plugs.

[@abscomm]

Great job, nice door, where do you get them?

[@b77722]

Where do you get your doors from

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Good work lads. Stu is that your dad? Definitely giving you a run for your money. 😛

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah mate :)

[@neilriordan9300]

Warburton bridge mate haha

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah Neil!!

[@richchambers2979]

Where r u guys from

[@cowboyyeehaa5807]

Much you charge for that

[@liamsmith1400]

Nice job done again and I was wondering in your next bricklaying vids can u like give tips throughout or something so people like me can use those tips on their work to help me out just a thought idk if Thing like that would be on your website but would nice if u could give little tips a bit more often that would be great

[@Stucrompton1]

that will be in paid content on the website mate, i cant give all of my 14 years experience away for free

[@liamsmith1400]

stu crompton Yh I completely understand mate and I would do the same when will the paid content be available ?

[@Stucrompton1]

im on with it now but it keeps raining :) should be done in a week

[@liamsmith1400]

stu crompton ahah Yh the Great British weather ay always gets in the way lol

[@AlexChilliebrunning]

What is the song at the whole end of the video ?

[@Stucrompton1]

different kind of love- martin hall

[@OnlineHousehusband]

Damn that 🍕 looked 😋👌🏼

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah it was the best mate

[@adriandotsmall]

👍

[@anthonyworthington6495]

Would have looked better with brick slips😊

[@TheBlondeBricky]

I need pizza now!!! 🍕 🍕🍕🍕

[@Stucrompton1]

it was awesome pal

[@TheBlondeBricky]

stu crompton ain't going to sleep now!! Lol did you see my Snapchat??

[@Stucrompton1]

i did mate i will see what i can do :)

[@TheBlondeBricky]

stu crompton legend!! 🙂🙂🙂

[@premfence]

soon as i seen that i thought... mmmmmyyeesss! i want that pizza lol

[@pablocarter4726]

4:25 looks delicious

[@Topblokepiano]

I would've used brick slips above the door

[@Stucrompton1]

not over a door pal, dangerous if they fall off - plus the customer didnt want to spend a lot and we would have to chisel more out of the lintel which would make it weaker because you cant have them sticking out like a sore thumb, thanks for watching stu

[@frank1847]

Hello I new to this lingo , what is a " tart up " please ? .

[@Stucrompton1]

apologies, it "make it look nicer"

[@iankilgallon6]

Is your dad a bricky aswell

[@L-81]

Silicone silicone everywhere. Looks like in UK no one heard about insulation to make it a bit warmer. Unacceptable way to fit the door in the other European countries.

[@lukenfoci]

I am really sorry, because I like your building work a lot, and I would not hesitate to do some building work for me. However, in case of the door installation, I must admit I am disappointed. Why? Look at the gaps, they are uneven. Builder who fitted my door did the same plus he messed up the frame. Got to this video because I was checking videos about composite door adjustment :).

[@AllenGoldsmith]

pukka!!

[@jimdunn5702]

Sound as a pound Stu.....

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers Jim mate

[@RelaxwithSeizure]

Hey Stu, watch alot of your videos, just abit of advice for fitting windows and especially doors (this is coming from a UPVC installer) don't use those screws for fixing. They're unreliable and don't fix properly over time with doors slamming etc those screws come loose. Use frame anchors like these www.toolstation.com/phillips-window-frame-anchor/p25635

[@Stucrompton1]

Thanks but that’s nonsense the concrete screws never cone loose if you use the right size drill bit and drill in the brick. Brilliant invention. Those old fixing are dated and fiddly the can also get stuck so you have to re drill the plug out and waste time. ( also from a upvc installer ) 👍👍

[@bloggs692413]

I say the opposite i see them screws coming loose all time and have to fit concrete screws to secure the frames instead perhaps it's how they're used

[@Rod2944]

looked better before

[@99marilena]

Well Don dad

[@garytango]

👍
