Door fitting
Door fitting and door repairs
A door that sticks in February, swings open on its own or won't latch is one of the most common jobs we get called to on the coast. Humidity swells timber, older houses settle, and cheap hinges give up. Most of the time it's a one-visit fix: plane the edge, re-set the hinges, adjust the strike.
We also hang new doors: hollow-core internal doors, solid-core for sound, cavity sliders, barn doors on exposed track, and entry doors with new furniture and weather seals. Everything is hung square, gapped evenly and finished so it closes with one push.

Questions we get asked
Timber absorbs moisture in humid weather and swells, usually along the latch edge or the top. Planing a few millimetres off the tight edge and sealing the bare timber stops it happening again. Read our guide to sticking doors on the blog.
Yes. We can supply hollow-core, solid-core, glazed or entry doors from local suppliers and quote them separately so you can see the cost.
