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.
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)
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.
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.
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👍
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?
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.
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
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
Great video, keep posting and tell your dad he made me lol. Out of interest hiw much should I be paying for someone to supply and fit a set of basic French doors? And doing need a joiner or window fitter?
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.)
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?
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
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.
Hi mate, think doors are supposed to open inwards with the hinges on the inside to protect them from being tampered with and prevent a easy entry into the home.
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
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
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 🙂
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
stu crompton so if you doing and outside wall of brick do i need to put that down on top of the concrete then ? Trying to repair a fallin wall in bbq area
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!

Love your videos man, they've inspired me to go into masonry/bricklaying myself big respect from Canada,QC
Thank you for sharing this. I have a window that I want to have converted to French doors so I am now confident that it is possible.

You guys are clean, why can’t all builders be like this
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.
Makes a real change to watch DIY in the UK 😋
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!
Thank u. I am having my window out and putting French doors in... Great vid guys and great job.
Perfect, about to do this to one of my windows!
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?

Great Job as always from you and the master foam surgeon KC! Weather looks lovely.......

This man can turn his had too anything!!! Well done Stu and Da
I want to do the same thing to a kitchen window but keep the hole as a walkway. Will the load of the bricks above be fine now the window is missing?
Happy to fi d this video we are going to c9nver our window into beautiful French doors
How much does something like this cost?
Quality job this is the kind of builder you want
Done this in an old cottage today. The walls were 2 ft thick. Absolute nightmare lol. Great vid though 👍🏻
Looks great
Tidy work mate. Handy being the right size!
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
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 🤣
Bloody Marvellous, Thanks
Great video, keep posting and tell your dad he made me lol. Out of interest hiw much should I be paying for someone to supply and fit a set of basic French doors? And doing need a joiner or window fitter?
Hi. I am doing a renovation but the city wants me to move my patio door about 500mm to the left. Do you have a video like that? Is it costly? Thanks
what would the cost of this be?
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.)

Hi mate, think doors are supposed to open inwards with the hinges on the inside to protect them from being tampered with and prevent a easy entry into the home.
😂
Just a quick question the new doors are higher off the floor than the old ones not very disabled access from outside 👍
Great job lads, louie northern Ireland UK
Great job I love going hard landscaping when I can nice change
Very nice and tidy work 🤩
What a effort 👌
Nice work done by a great artists
Lovely! Great job lads
Great video as ever, just interested to understand what you use to get the cement off the old bricks. Thanks
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.

Love these doors where / how can I find such that swing outside with protected hinges ?
Nice job thanks guys...
I 'reckon' you two are a great team. Looks fantastic.
Nice work lads, but my house next door 😁
Guys!!! Nice to see u back on our screens!!!!
I enjoyed your video I am doing the same thing too. good Job.
Is best bricky your company 👍🏽👍🏽
Yes keenan
Do you always put expanding foam
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
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.
Great Job and perfectly straight well done.
Nice Evo cutter there bud.
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 ☺️.

Thanks in advance 🙂
Thanks for this video! Im looking to getting a window in my small bathroom.
Great job! God bless!
Do you need to run this past the local planning authority?
Great work lad very clean
Very good work .
Nice one, ever had a go at stone work? Thanks
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
Needa do similar soon. How come there’s no need to get the dpc under the door?
the cill is plastic
Excellent job Stu!!
Do you need a support beam if you replace a window with doors
Another brilliant video stu really enjoyed it
My house great job done my keith and stu
Fantastic job mate, nice and tidy 👌👍
Cheers rav
Good job lads
How much is that kind of conversion? (Knocking the old window and putting a french door)
As soon as I get some money saved up I'm going for this. Hey it's Egress
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
nice job this👍
Why did you not leave the DPC so that you had a double barrier, i.e. the door and DPC?
Longer vids stu please mate enjoy them too much! Cheers, good job though 👍
How come when you cut the brick, it didn't hit the voids and so give a ragged edge? Was it just luck?
Did the first door have a sill?
Awesome 👍🏼 ❤️ it.
Why can't all builders be this tidy!
gurinder kular they could have been tidier. There a lot of very good tradesman out there
gurinder kular cos they're not putting content on UA-cam...
Great video Stu!
thanks peter mate :)
Stu , am wondering why there was a damp paper lining on the last row of bricks you pulled out , when doing the window .
It’s the dpc to stop moisture getting past that point
stu crompton so if you doing and outside wall of brick do i need to put that down on top of the concrete then ? Trying to repair a fallin wall in bbq area
This is what I'd like to have done, a French door switch with a window. I live in the UK, any idea how much this might cost? Thanks.
Top job pal 👍
Just wet the bricks and it wont be ao dusty. You could even do it without a mask if there's continuous water being sprayed.
If you didn't notice he used an electric cutter to cut the bricks out! Not advisable to use water on it to keep dust down!
I loved french doors wooww

Wish i could have mine done
Why can't builders be so handsome! 😉
What was the reason for removing the DPC?
Didn’t see either of you pack (toe and heel) the glass? One of the most important parts of any installation?
We didn’t film that, we can’t film everything plus heeling and toeing the glass will be on a paid content course, thanks for watching👍
I’ve been doing this job for 30 year s The doors were toe and heeled and were perfect thanks watching👍
How much does this cost? ish? and are you local to Wigan? sounds like you are!
Cute!
Thanks for sharing 👍
