Find out why the door is failing
Loose hinges, paint build-up, worn hardware, swelling and frame movement can produce similar symptoms. We check the door through its swing, observe gaps and inspect accessible fixings before removing material. Simply planing a sticking edge may create a large gap when seasonal moisture falls or leave a distorted frame untreated. A cause-led repair is more likely to last and avoids unnecessary alteration.
Common internal-door repairs
Work may include tightening or repositioning hinges, easing within appropriate limits, aligning latches, replacing compatible handles, repairing local frame damage and addressing minor splits. Product compatibility matters: spindle sizes, backsets and hinge dimensions are not universal. Send photographs and measurements when possible. Where the leaf is extensively damaged or has been repeatedly altered, replacement can be more proportionate than another patch.
External doors, weather and security
Entrance and rear doors must manage weather and security as well as movement. Repairs can involve adjustment, local timber work, thresholds and selected hardware, but multipoint locking systems, damaged glazed units and high-security assemblies may require a specialist. Water staining or decay should prompt investigation of seals, drainage and exposure. Cosmetic filling without controlling moisture will not provide a durable repair.

CAREFUL PROPERTY WORK
Fire and communal doors
Fire and communal doors
A fire door’s leaf, frame, closer, seals, hinges and gaps form one system. Unauthorised trimming, hardware substitution or removal of a closer can compromise performance. Communal doors may also form part of access control or the building’s fire strategy. These jobs need the correct specification and competent person; we do not treat them as ordinary adjustment merely because the symptom looks simple.
Repairing frames and architraves
Local damage around hinges and keeps may be repaired where sound material remains. A loose or distorted frame can require more extensive work, and movement caused by the building should be investigated rather than hidden. Architrave is decorative; it does not normally correct an unstable frame. We explain which component is affected and whether decorating will be needed after joinery repairs.
Prepare a useful repair brief
Photograph the full door from both sides, the hinge edge, latch, gaps and any damaged area. Describe whether the problem changes with weather and when it began. Mention recent flooring, leaks or forced entry. Provide access and parking details. For rented or managed property, confirm approval for replacement hardware and whether keys or access-control permissions are required.

DOOR REPAIR SERVICES FAQ
Before You Book
Useful answers for planning the work.
Can you fix a door that will not close?
Often, but the cause must be identified first; it may be hinges, swelling, latch alignment or frame movement.
Can you repair a split around a hinge?
Local repair may be possible if enough sound material remains. Severe damage can require a new section or frame.
Do you repair multipoint locks?
Some adjustment may be possible, but lock mechanisms often need a dedicated locksmith or door specialist.
Can you trim a fire door?
Only alterations allowed by its specification should be undertaken by a competent person.
Will the repaired area need painting?
Joinery repairs often disturb the finish. Decorating is included only when agreed in the scope.
