Door Repair FAQ in Edgware
Answers about alignment, timber, hardware, preparation and safe use.
01Should a sticking door always be planed?
No. Planing too early can create excessive gaps later. Hinges, frame shape and moisture movement should be considered first.
02Can landlords arrange door repairs in Edgware?
Yes. Provide tenant access, repair approval and any requirement for matching paint or hardware.
03Is painting included after timber repair?
Not automatically. The repaired area may need curing, preparation and colour-matched decorating as a separate finish.
04Can I keep forcing a sticking door closed?
No. Repeated force can damage hinges, the latch and frame. Keep it safe and arrange assessment.
