How Our Door Repair Service Works

Book Your Appointment
Many standard door repairs can be booked online in just a few minutes, with a convenient day and time selected for your visit. If you have several doors needing attention, more extensive damage or you are unsure what repair is required, you can call or WhatsApp us first for advice before booking.
Discussing Your Door Repair
We'll confirm the problem with your door and discuss anything we need to know before attending. This may include the type of door, how it is behaving, damaged components or any replacement fittings that could be required. Photos can also be useful for certain problems, helping us understand the job and make sure everything is clear before the visit.
Arrival and Assessment
We'll arrive for the agreed appointment and inspect the door, frame and relevant fittings to identify what is causing the problem. Before starting, we'll explain the work required and prepare the area, protecting nearby flooring, furniture or surfaces where appropriate so the repair can be carried out safely and neatly.
Completing the Repair
We'll carry out the necessary door repairs using suitable tools and methods for the type of door and problem involved. This could include adjusting or trimming a sticking door, correcting alignment, repairing hinges or replacing worn handles and latches. We work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of workmanship throughout.
Final Checks and Tidy Up
Once the repair is complete, we'll test the door to make sure it opens, closes and operates correctly. We'll check any adjusted or replaced fittings, make sure you're happy with the completed work and clear away our tools and any waste from the repair, leaving the work area clean and tidy.

"I had 4 new doors that needed trimming and hanging. Charlie and Scott did a super job, especially as one of the doors was a pretty wonky shape - they got it squared off perfectly and left it all looking great."

Door problems are not always as straightforward as they first appear. What seems like a simple adjustment can sometimes be caused by movement in the frame, worn fittings, moisture, damaged timber or years of everyday use.
We regularly help homeowners, landlords and businesses in St Albans and the surrounding areas with troublesome internal and external doors. From older properties with original timber doors to rental homes and commercial premises, we can identify the cause and find a practical solution.
Common jobs include:
- Doors rubbing against the frame
- Doors scraping across flooring
- Uneven gaps around door edges
- Doors swinging open by themselves
- Loose or damaged hinge screws
- Handles becoming loose or difficult to turn
- Latches failing to engage properly
- Swollen timber doors after wet weather
- Damaged timber around door fittings
- Doors needing attention between tenancies
Every door repair is approached carefully, with attention paid to both the cause of the problem and the finished result. We work with homeowners, landlords and businesses, aiming to provide a reliable repair that keeps the door working as it should.
Standard door repair jobs can be booked online. For larger or more complicated problems, or if you would like advice before booking, simply call or WhatsApp us.
Types of Doors We Repair
Different doors can develop different faults depending on their construction, age, fittings and location within the property. We repair a wide variety of internal and external doors, assessing each one individually to determine the most suitable approach.
From traditional timber doors in older homes to modern entrance doors, we can deal with many everyday problems without automatically recommending replacement.
- Internal timber doors
- External timber doors
- Panelled doors
- Glazed internal doors
- French doors
- Composite entrance doors
- uPVC doors
- Fire doors
Whether the problem affects one internal door or several different doors throughout a property, we can inspect the cause and advise whether adjustment, repair or replacement of individual components is appropriate.
For straightforward door repairs, you can choose a convenient appointment and book online. If you are unsure whether your particular door can be repaired, get in touch first and we can advise.
Door Materials We Work With
The correct repair method depends heavily on how the door and its fittings are constructed. Timber behaves differently from uPVC or composite materials, while hinges, handles, latches and other components also need to be suitable for the particular door.
We work with common door materials and fittings found throughout modern and traditional UK properties.
- Solid timber
- Engineered timber
- MDF
- uPVC
- Composite materials
- Glass panels
- Stainless steel fittings
- Brass door furniture
Using appropriate components and repair methods helps achieve a neater finish and reliable operation. Where replacement fittings are required, we can assess the existing door and determine what is suitable before anything is changed.
If you already know what needs attention, standard door repair appointments can be booked online. For unusual doors or more involved repairs, contact us beforehand for advice.
