Task guide
When this may be needed

- The frame moves when the door closes.
- The door stop strip has come loose or broken off.

What the team does
The technician checks the frame for splits, loose fixings and soft timber. Split timber around hinges and strike plates is glued and clamped or reinforced, and stripped screw holes are filled so screws hold again. A loose frame is re-fixed to the wall. Broken door stops are refitted or replaced. The door is then rehung and tested. Where the timber is rotten, the damaged section is shown to you and repair or replacement is discussed before continuing.

Limits & price factors
Painting, staining or varnishing the repaired area, replacing a full frame, and work on metal frames are quoted separately.
The starting price covers a small repair to one frame. Larger splits, several damaged areas, rotten timber and frames fixed into concrete with failed plugs take longer. The price is confirmed after the inspection.
FAQs
Usually, if the crack is in sound timber. It is glued and reinforced so the hinges or strike plate hold again. Frames that are rotten or badly split along their length are better replaced.
The screw holes in the frame have been stripped, so the threads have nothing to bite on. Filling the holes, or using longer screws into solid timber, fixes it.
Filled and glued areas are usually visible until the frame is repainted. Painting is not included, but the repair can be left ready to paint.
Usually one to two hours, including drying time for glue where needed.
