Block up the kitchen doors.

[Bartholomew]

hi all! I wondered if you guys can help me out and guide me how and what materials to use to block up this doors. Do I need to remove them completely or just block it on using timber and plasterboaerd what about  gaps between doors and frame can I just seal it lock doors and put insulation? Any ideas? Thanks ?

I would remove the door and frame and use concrete blocks tied to the existing wall to fill the hole.

i would like to avoiding removing door frame tbh. He about to tied up blocks into the existing wall? Then put insulation inside the door frame and build frame to fit plasterboards inside? Outside wall finishing up with mortar. On the top of that I’m planning cladding . See post below. Thanks

@Bartholomew Looking at the link you posted it says:-

'We have seen many people try and save time and money by leaving the frame in when they try to block up an opening but this never works.'

I would use concrete blocks, you can still put cladding on.
