    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.

    How much would it normally cost nowadays for the job to be done for you
    Either supply and fit french doors or
    fit only.

  • @Vinncent360
    @Vinncent360 Рік тому

    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

  • @B3NNYI3OY

    • @darrenjames3180
      @darrenjames3180 7 років тому

      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.
