Turning a window into a door

[ipjodan]

Hi all,

I want to convert a window opening into a door. The width will remain the same so i presume the lintel will be fine. Is it just a case of getting a big cutting disc and cutting down the wall? how do i fill the gap in the caverty when this is done? anything else to think of? Thanks

Basically yes. Once you’ve cut the brickwork away, use a plastic cavity closer on the exposed cavity. After fitting the door, I cover the reveal with plater board, fit an angle bead on the corner & then skim over.

There are some good suggestions for diamond blades if you need them for your task .
