There’s still a hole near the exhaust vent LOL. I love how you always tidy up as you go. Most builders just leave one huge mess until the end which drives me crazy. Have a great weekend. 😀
Another great video, really shows whats involved in domestic building ... pulling stuff down and then building it back up, lots of clearing up,, !!! Thanks for posting.
As much as I enjoy watching you do what I do on a daily basis, as a double glazing installer of over 20 years experience that could only be described as ‘how not to install French doors’ 🤣 For the time you two stood there holding the frame,when you used too much foam holding the frame in place which judging by the fact you had to touch the hinges immediately has closed the opening up! You should have fixed it in place 1st then foam the thing.....also buy custom made double glazing not that B&Q rubbish 😁 Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Fantastic Job + what A Great teem 👍👍👍👍👍...........🤔 please get Proper masks with filters as asbestos wasn’t banned until 1999...... Moreover it was really high pre-80s Happy 😊 building 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🤪
I give you an “A” grade for the effort you made to wear protective eye gear today (even though they were already off by the middle of the video, lol). Love the French doors!!!
Just watching this video now, work looks mint, but I couldn’t help but notice the lack or mechanical fixings in the frame to the brickwork? Looked like it was just secured using foam? Surely that’s not the case though?..
Great job, been enjoying your videos since I found your channel a week ago. As a fan I want to throw it out there that your scarf/mask can't be doing much to protect you especially with the grinder. Grab yourself a respirator. Edit: Just seen the mask underneath, glad to see :)
@@darrenthebuilderI know he was mocking, but I believe he’s right about the handle, mate. For security, the screws go inside. You have to turn the handles around 180 degrees to make them face the correct way, before you push it on to the spindle.
Normally take of 10mm top and bottom. But its always a good idea to check the internal plaster reveals. Because they fitted in a nee opening than the plaster can be set at whatever depth. Add-on or frame extension would be required if the plaster reveals are thick. a bit of though with a door as well, especially patios as need o be square in the opening, otherwise door will have trouble locking etc. A good idea is to check the diagonals, they should be the same measurement to say that the door frame is square within the opening.
Hi Paul, I’m sorry let me correct my last comment. I misunderstood the question. I thought you ment how much bigger is the door than the old opening. The door is a 1500 x 2100mm door. Manufacturer requires the opening to be 1500 x 2100 which is the opening we have. The door itself is actually a little smaller. Basically the advertised size (1500x2100) is usually the size of the opening and the door is slightly smaller. I think it’s 1490 x 2090. Hope that make sense.
Great job. Did I see you on a Sarah Beeny show doing some electrical work? It was just the way you looked to camera that made me laugh because it was in a cheeky way. I think it was episode 8 or 9 of series 2 xx
Another great video. The time lapse was very clean today. I appreciate that you maintain the work space as you go.

Love the French doors!!!
Lol thanks, I tried
Good job for this French door :-) Bravo !
Great install, great vid. 👍
Great job, what would the price be in 2023 to have window removed and french doors installed same size ?
Just watching this video now, work looks mint, but I couldn’t help but notice the lack or mechanical fixings in the frame to the brickwork? Looked like it was just secured using foam? Surely that’s not the case though?..
3 man crew perfect looking good 👍
Nice this is what I want

Lol well spotted. Thanks for your support
looks great did you screw in the door frame to the brick as i did not see it in the video have a good weekend
That’s all I could think about after watching the guys fix the frame with foam 😂
Thanks John, Will be screwed on Monday. Have a great weekend 😁
Will the expanding foam hold the door and frame until monday? If yes, I didn’t know that stuff was that strong.
@@emrankhanlearnwithme4474 Hi Emran, yes it will. It’s very strong. I’m the expunging makes it very tight.
NIce job , what did you fix the frame with ?
No toe and heel ? And the screws for handle go on inside 😂
The screw on this handles only go one one side. Atleast know what you’re taking about if you’re going to mock people.

How much bigger do you make the door opening than the door??, I asume 20mm
Hi Paul, I think it’s about 20cm or so
@@darrenthebuilder thank you

Hi Joanna, definitely wasn’t me 😁
But I did make an appearance on a building tv show once a few years ago.
@@darrenthebuilder That is so cool. I will have to look out for you and I thought the added dancing was a great bit of extra for us too xx

1200mm wide approx 2metres high
Not a 3 man job. 2 working 1 stood watching

How wide isit? 4foot?
Yes
Where did you get that size doors?
It looks like a 48" wide opening.
Selco . Yes 1200mm
