Project Fit

When to choose door fitting

A well-fitted door should open cleanly, close properly, and sit neatly in the frame. We cover door fitting enquiries from Borehamwood and nearby Hertfordshire and North London areas.

Internal doors that need trimming, hanging, hinges, handles, and final adjustment.

Renovations where several doors need fitting neatly across the property.

Existing doors that stick, rub, swing badly, or no longer close properly.

Homes needing fire doors or heavier doors fitted with care and correct hardware.

Planning The Project

What to decide before requesting a quote

Carpentry quotes are clearer when the key details are known early. These points help narrow the design, materials, timescale, and final finish before a site visit.

Every opening is different

Even new internal doors usually need trimming and adjustment to suit the existing frame.

Hardware changes the work

New hinges, latches, bathroom locks, or fire-door hardware can change the fitting time and preparation.

Flooring clearance matters

Carpet, laminate, thresholds, and future flooring changes all affect the final door gap.

What affects the quote

Door type and weight

Hollow core, solid timber, fire doors, glazed doors, and external doors all need different fitting care.

Frame condition

Twisted frames, out-of-square openings, damaged stops, and old hinge positions can add extra adjustment work.

Hardware

Handles, locks, latches, hinges, closers, intumescent strips, and privacy sets should be confirmed before fitting.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you supply the doors or do I need to provide them?

We can work either way. We can advise on and source doors for you, or fit doors you have already purchased. Either way, we ensure a perfect fit.

How many doors can you fit in a day?

Typically, we can fit 4-6 standard internal doors in a day, depending on the complexity and any additional work required such as frame repairs or modifications.

Can you fit fire doors?

Yes, we are experienced in fitting fire doors to meet building regulations. This includes proper fitting of intumescent strips and smoke seals.

My door is sticking - can you fix it?

Absolutely! We can realign, plane, or adjust existing doors to solve sticking issues. Sometimes a simple adjustment is all that is needed.
