No minutes long intro, no waffling, straight to the point. If only all RUclips tutorials were this good!
Excellent video tutorial. I usually wash the door with warm soapy water which helps the new seal fit and make sure the thicker side of the seal faces outwards.
Just tried this on my bank door frame. Nightmare! The old seal kept disintegrating into tiny bits and refused to come out of the groove. Must have been in there too long, I guess. You made it look so easy and it was probably is - I just took so long over it. But job done and the back door has a brand new seal round the frame! Many thanks for your very helpful vlog! 😊
No problem 👍
Glad I found this video to know what to buy! Trying to join it at the bottom sounds like the most difficult place to me though
What a champion 🥇 I have been searching for ages trying to find a vid to explain how to do this. Thank you 🙏
Glad to help.
Great video!
Excellent explanation, demonstration and a top job…
Thank you.
🙏 👍👏
Glad you found it useful.
This has been on my to do list for ages. You've given me a bit of inspiration.
Now just let me finish my coffee and I will 'think' about getting on with it.
Worryingly that's the attitude I'm beginning to adopt! I'll have nothing to film. Maybe 'Pouse the barrista'. Best of luck with it.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE loved watching your uploads, keep it up fella.
Might have a crack at this, my door seals have definitely seen better days. Cheers Pouse 👍
25m was £16.99 I think. Made a real difference. Stop those horrible cold spots that attract condensation and mold around the door. Really easy, give it a go! Best of luck with it.
Done! Great video. Giving the door a wash with soapy water to ensure you get rid of the old rubber was also helpful. The outer edge isn’t equal, so one side of it is off centre more, so that needs to be the outer edge. Will check all my doors and windows now! Likely more swaps required.
Good tips, thanks for the feedback 👍
I've just done this on all my door and windows.. took ages 😂😂. Great vid though mate. My tip would be dont do it in the winter when the seals are rock hard. Or warm them up on a radiator first 😁
Good advice. My seal was OK but fair point, I probably should have made in the video.
Christ this is hard work (getting it in the groove) but god it pays off!
Excellent you actually made this look easy and you have inspired me to have a go myself !!
Thank you so much. We've got a lot of gaskets to replace. I didn't realise 2 gaskets on the door are needed.
Thank you once again.
Absolutely amazing you're a lifesaver I seen this product but I don't know how to use it and now I know. You saved me a lot of time and money by this idea.,, thank you very much my friend
Great video I have water coming in one of the corners of my door. Looks like the seal on the door frame is the problem but I would replace the seal on frame and door. Thanks to your video I now know what I need to get.
Best of luck with it Mary!
Thanks so much for this I was thinking I’d have to get someone out but I’m gonna do it myself now thanks to your helpful video 😊
Purchased my first house last year and the back door, the rubber is pretty much disintegrated, just loose hanging strips😂. Looking forward to getting it sorted!
Best of luck with it.
Thanks for the link. Saved me wasting time on Google then ordering the wrong thing 👍👍
Thank you for this video. My external seal is hanging off and needs replacing.
No problem. Glad to help.
Great video Pouse... 👍🏾 looking forward to seeing the video on how to adjust doors or windows 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks. I just have to find time the time to film them now! Thanks for watching.
My door is leaking, especially after this week's rain. Will have to replace the seal as I noticed upon investigation it has perished. I take it the same will apply to the door frame seal...
Thanks for the vid.
My seal was the same for the door and the frame. Maybe just check before you commit to doing it. Best of luck.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Thanks...
Good Vid Ta . That door's Buzzin Mush !
Ha ha. A lot of it is render from when house was done, the intention is to replace the door and this was just a temporary measure. But I agree, it is buzzing! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video. Will have a go at a new door seal. Call out charge in Ascot is £100 plus, anything to do with doors or windows. Many thanks
Had new exterior doors fitted last year so hopefully I won't need to do this procedure for a while, hopefully. Still, I found it very helpful and I imagine within my skill range. Thank you very much and when the time comes I hope I can remember your advice.
Please do come back and watch again when the time comes. Thanks for watching and for now I hope your door seals hold out!
So happy to see this video. Maybe customers won't keep asking me to do it. It's a horrible job on a full house.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
thanks very much for this, I've just replaced the seal on my son's house in Swansea. There is some play in the door though. When will you do a video on hinge adjustment please?
Brilliant video, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
No problem.
Brill! Going to have a go of replacing ours.
Thanks for the information. I had both my front and my back door replaced due to damages after an attempted break in and the "joiner" who fitted the doors had damaged the seals on top and underneath without saying a word and left after he was paid. I'm now stuck with 2 doors that don't keep the cold air out, but after this video I'm fairly confident about replacing the seals myself.
Hope it went well, thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant, you've given me the confidence to give it a go :)
You make it look so easy. Just tried this for nearly an hour and can't get the new one to stay in at all
Are you sure it's the correct size? You have to get the first bit to bite then the rest will be forced into place but it does need a bit of elbow grease. Best of luck.
Love your vids Pouse, I did this on a window last year in the same way you did it, and now you've reminded me to do it with my front door, crackin!
Thanks for the feedback. It made a huge difference to my door. Best of luck with it!
Good video. The only little thing is that you might want to run your finger around the old seal to find out where the original join was, and start from there. When I did it I was fairly sure I had enough seal but took the old out and replaced with new one side at a time. If I was short I could've left the last bit of old in.
Great. Going to have a go. Thanks
This is fantastic, my mum's pretty old door is drafty, so, thanks buddy
No problem, good luck with it 👍
Mr Pouse. Love your videos man! This was so useful. Bought the same seal and your tips were greatly appreciated!!
What an ace video. Thanks mate.
Brill. Nice and easy to follow.
thanks so much - just about to do this myself!
Hope it went well! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Pousey, one of your best videos yet, very useful information. ..👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this, definitely a job I need to do. And wasn’t sure where to start. Looking forward to the next video on how to adjust the door as well. The fit is really not tight
Thanks for the feedback Andre.
excellent video..thank you so much..
Lifesaver. Thank you so much
Hi I can’t seem to find your video on how to adjust the hinge if the door is too tight after seal change (I already replaced my seal yesterday but door is too tight now ).
Thanks for the video
You always up my willingness to give it a try. Thank you.
Brilliant, give it a go...only if your door seals need changing of course! Thanks for watching.
Brilliant going to tackle this at weekend x
It was a lot trickier to really bed the bead into the groove I found. It kept coming out while I was trying to continue further along. But perseverance pays off.. The door is tighter than before. I also notice that there are two grooves in the frame, but only one had been fitted with the seal... I guess fitting a seal to the other one will improve the insulation.
I guess you could try two seals if you want. it is tricky to bed in and requires a fair bit of force but worth it in the end. Thanks for watching 👍
So useful! Do you have a video on replacing the metal strip on the floor? Mine has come completely off 😭
I don't sorry, maybe one for another video!
Good stuff mate thank you..
Good video well explains but d have put the join on the top
Before people start ripping there door and windows seals out check if there what’s called Co extruded ,as most of the decent quality and newer profiles are pressed in on manufacturer and not designed to be removed , older door profile like the one in the video and cheap profiles like new builds use can often be removed
Thanks for the feedback Dan 👍
Don't they recommend you start at the top of the door so that the seal at the bottom is a continuous strip and is weather tight?
Your a bloody legend mate 👍👏
Thanks for the kind words!
Boom great video no BS thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
So useful! Thank you for sharing.
No problem, thanks for watching 👍
I am looking to change seal on a double French door. Seems this video will help but I have a question - there is a panel on one of the doors which blocks access to the seal. How do I get around that?
Very good, thank you.
Did you do the video with how to adjust the door? Not seeing on the channel.
thanks for sharing this information with us found this video very informative and useful stay safe.
Thank you. Stay safe also and thanks for your continued support.
Do you happen to have a video about replacing the seals around the glass panels?
I don't sorry. Maybe one for the future!
Excellent, will look at doing mine, as when a heavy rain happens, it seeps in. Think its the actual door frame, so looks like the method is the same. One question, why start at the bottom? Should I not start at the top, as the rain using appears at the bottom, or is it just personal choice?
I have seen doors started at the top but I don't think it makes a difference either way as long as it's fitted well with no gap on the join. Thanks for watching 👍
You start at the bottom so water drops there if it finds a way in and not at the top where it can drip around
@@submergedcity9489 well that was my thinking but I have seen seals fitted to new doors starting from the top. Thanks for your feedback 👍
Great vid as usual very informative keep up the good work
Thank you!
Thanks, great advice. Would you be able to guide me on how to remove the old seal? from UPVC windows? It is sooo stuck due to age and dirt, that mere screw driver cannot remove it? Is there any special tool, or liquid, that can help with this please?
Before you tear it out just make sure the seal is one that can be removed as some are fixed to the door and can't be removed. If it can be removed then you could try using some white spirits on a cloth and a bit of elbow grease! Let me know how you get on. Best of luck.
No matter what I try I cannot get the old seal out. The sides lift up but the bit in the groove won't budge from anywhere! Have tried flat edge screwdriver, scraper, pliers but all I've done so far is tear the seal in multiple places :) any tips welcome!
Hi thanks for the video, would I need the same seal on the frames or will that be a different type?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure it's the same, the seal is called universal door and window seal. Best of luck with it!
The seal on my frame has perished as well. Is it usually the same type of seal?
Yes, you can use the same seal, just check the sizing as shown in the video. Best of luck with it.
Great video thanks
No problem.
Great
Good to see you again.👍🏾
I'm still here.....just!!
Cheers for the video and the link on amazon! Spot on :)
No problem.
Fantastic video. May thanks...
Ray White.-Fitted the door seal ok with no problems.Fitted the frame seal and the door doesnt shut. The seal seems too thick to allow the door to shut --Help!.
Does it need the frame seal as the water drains out along the lower section anyway?
Problem I have is when my door is fully opened there is only a very small gap between the top of the door and the ceiling. This means I can't see what I'm doing when at the top of the door. Can the door be easily removed from the frame so I can replace the seal then put the door back or would I be asking for trouble if I attempt to remove the door?
really usefull thanks for doing this cracking video
No problem, thanks for watching 👍
Is it the same procedure for the door frame it’s self ?
Can you please advice Which Side of the seal will be inside, Longer or shorter Side will face inside
How do you fix the rubber that's actually on the glass please? My pation windows is coming off and some missing
Awesome vid. Really informative and I will be looking through your other vids for inspiration. I'm ready to order seal to guve it a go but on inspection of my door I've found that the seal is the 'flipper' version. Is it possible to change it to the 'D' or 'P' shape? Thank you.
Have you got any tips how to remove a super perished door seal? Like it’s falling to bits and hanging on by a thread in some/ most places :(
You could try turps or white spirits with a nail brush? Best of luck.
Great video! 👍
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Very good tips on door frame
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
You should start of the top of the door. And before put seal to hot water.
Hi Pouse! Great video. You mentioned another video giving guidance on adjusting the hinges to close the gap? Where might I find it please? Thanks in advance.
I haven't done it yet! Hopefully soon. Thanks for watching.
Great demonstration how to fit thanks and going to attempt mine tommorow, quick question though would you replace both seals as there is also one in the frame of the door?
It's up to you, I only replaced one in the end as the fitting was tight. If you feel it needs it then go for both. Best of luck with it.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
Decided to do both turned into a bit of a nightmare as they were factory bonded in the corners, but with a few minor alterations and a lot of patience job done not drafts and much quieter 👍
Nice one pouse, good job your tall, I'd need a ladder 😃👍
I did use a little help!! Thanks for watching.
Clean the frame and seal groove first...
What is the black seal called that goes around the exterior face of the window and is attached to the door. Mine has started to crack.
But how do I know what thickness of seal I need not the arrow bit,I had some fitted by council and he said it was the only size he had on the van but could be bigger ??????
I have a question. The other seal (the one between the glass and the window frame) can be replaced? And if so what is that called, if it has a special name. Thx
It depends on the type of door. Most doors are made with the bespoke plastic inserts to fit the glass into place. You could try a local window company and see if they could provide one? Window and door seals are sometime referred to as gaskets which may help with your search. Best of luck.
why is the join at the bottom of th door when I clean the road dust off the front door the water comes through the join. would it be better to have join at the top
You could put it at the top, no reason why not. I chose bottom as if it rains and water did drive in by seal I felt it'd be better to keep the continuous seal at the top. You could dab a bit of super glue or sealant on the join if it's a problem? Thanks for watching.
Would you use the same seal for the frame, please?
Yes you can as long as the frame has the same groove.
I would have given the grove a good clean of dirt and mould before fitting the new seal.
Cheers mate
I need the hinge adjustment video! Could drive a car through my gap the seal doesn’t even get close!
Maybe park the car in it? I'll see what I can do with the hinge video. Thanks for watching.
Hiya, do you use the same seal for the door frame as the door? Ty. 😊
You can yes if it's the same fitting. Mine was. Best of luck with it.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE thank you.
my door doesn't seem to have a groove, the seal is just taped to the side. Is that just a type of door or the previous owners messed up with it? 🤨
does anyone have the link for the video about reducing gap when door is shut? driving me mad...lol
Good vid 👌
Thank you!
My wife would not like putting a new door seal back without cleaning the door frame
I didn't want to do it either but the family was due home and I was rushing as usual!! Thanks for watching.
I cannot get the seal out of my UPVC door :/ i did the same as this video and started at the top corner and pulled and it just tore rather then coming out: /
Nice one👍
No problem.
