Common problems
Common Door and Carpentry Problems
A door that sticks or rubs
Often caused by swelling in damp weather, loose hinges or a door that has dropped. A quick adjustment or planing is often enough.
A door that will not latch
Usually a misaligned latch or keep, or a sagging door.
A cracked or loose door frame
Often from forced entry, age or rot. We repair what can be repaired and tell you if the frame needs replacing.
Gaps or damage around skirting boards
Old boards come loose and walls get damaged. New skirting and architraves tidy up a room.
A loose bannister or creaking stair
A safety issue. We tell you what we can fix and what needs a specialist.
If a lock is the problem, see our locksmith in Watford. If the door itself is rotten or structurally damaged, we will tell you honestly whether to repair or replace.
