Timber fittings take a lot of wear in a rented property. Doors drop on their hinges, skirting and architrave get knocked by furniture, and cupboard doors stop closing properly after a few tenancies. PRG handles that carpentry as single jobs or as part of a wider refurbishment. Typical work includes rehanging and easing doors that stick or catch, replacing handles, latches and hinges, fitting or repairing skirting boards and architrave, putting up shelving, and repairing fitted cupboards and wardrobe doors. Damaged worktop sections can be looked at too, depending on the kitchen and what is available to match. Landlords usually spot these jobs at check-out, when the inventory notes a door that will not latch or a split length of skirting. Doing the carpentry before decorating means the paint goes on once and the room is finished properly. For a quote, send a wide photo showing where the item sits in the room and a close-up of the damage. Measurements help for replacement doors or shelving. Tell us whether the property is occupied and whether decorating or flooring is planned in the same room, so the work is done in a sensible order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you rehang a door that has dropped or sticks?
Yes. Most doors that catch on the frame or floor can be eased or rehung on new hinges. If the door itself is split or warped, we will say whether replacing it makes more sense.
Can you match existing skirting or architrave?
Send a close photo of the profile so we can look for the closest match before anything is fitted.
Should carpentry be done before or after decorating?
Before. Doors, skirting and frames are fitted or repaired first, then filled and painted, so later work does not damage the new finish.
