  🚪 Why Is Your Door Sticking? Common Causes and Solutions A door that sticks, rubs against the frame or refuses to close properly can be frustrating. What seems like a small problem can make a door difficult to use every day. Timber doors can develop problems over time due to wear and tear, changes around the door frame, loose hardware or changes to the fit of the door .

Common Carpentry Repairs Around the Home

🏠 Is your home full of those little jobs you've been meaning to fix?

A loose skirting board, sticking door, damaged cupboard or wobbly shelf might seem like a small problem. But when everyday wear and tear is left for too long, a minor repair can sometimes turn into a bigger job.

The good news is that many common household problems can be repaired with the right carpentry skills.

🛠️ Common Carpentry Repairs We See

Some of the everyday carpentry problems we can help with include:

  • Loose or damaged skirting boards
  • Damaged architraves
  • Sticking or misaligned doors
  • Damaged door frames
  • Loose shelves and fittings
  • Damaged timber furniture
  • Cupboard and cabinet problems
  • Worn or damaged timber fittings

Sometimes the solution is a simple adjustment or repair. Other times, a damaged section may need to be replaced or carefully rebuilt.

The important thing is to understand what is causing the problem before deciding how to fix it.

🔍 Repair or Replace?

Not every damaged piece of timber needs to be thrown away.

If the existing material is still structurally sound, a professional repair may be enough to restore its appearance and function. This can be a more practical option than replacing an entire door, cupboard, shelf or section of woodwork.

Every property is different, so the right solution depends on the condition of the materials, the extent of the damage and what you want to achieve.
