Local property care
Door Frame Repair in Cornwall
Repairs to damaged internal and exterior timber door frames, including jambs, linings, architraves, loose sections, splits and localised decay.
A door problem is not always the door itself. Movement, failed fixings, moisture or worn latch areas can damage the lining and trim, so the complete opening needs checking.

A repair built around the actual condition
What Door Frame Repair in Cornwall can involve
The opening is checked for movement, moisture, alignment and damage around hinges, latches and the base of the frame. Local sections can sometimes be repaired; extensive rot or distortion may make a full lining or frame replacement the better option.
Architraves and making good
Trim may need careful removal to reach the lining. Matching architrave, caulking and local wall repair can be included.
Exterior frames
External frames are checked for open joints, coating failure and water paths, with suitable preparation and weatherproof finishing agreed separately.
Full replacement
Where a frame is extensively rotten, loose or distorted, replacement may give a more dependable result than several small patches.

Local FAQs
Questions before booking
Can only the rotten bottom of a door frame be replaced?
Often, if decay is localised and the upper frame remains sound. The joint and moisture source must both be addressed.
Do you repair internal door linings?
Yes. Split, loose or damaged linings and jambs can be assessed for local repair or replacement.
Can architrave be replaced at the same time?
Yes. Damaged trim can be matched and replaced, with joints and surrounding finishes made good where agreed.
When is a full frame replacement necessary?
Usually when damage is widespread, the opening is badly distorted or too little sound material remains for a durable local repair.
