Interior doors
Sliders that jump the track or won't run, internal doors that catch on the frame, and new interior and wardrobe doors supplied and hung. The doors inside the house need a carpenter, not a joinery company.
What we fix
Interior doors fall in an awkward gap. Joinery companies deal with what's on the outside of the house, and most builders would rather not spend half a day on one sticking door, so people put up with a cavity slider that has to be lifted to move for years at a time. It's straightforward work for someone who does doors every day. The mechanisms inside a cavity slider are the same family of parts as a ranch slider, the hanging of a new interior door is standard carpentry, and both are things Graham has been doing since his apprenticeship. Below is what gets asked for most.
A slider that has come off its runners, drags on the floor or needs lifting to move has almost always worn or broken hangers, or a track that has bowed under the weight of the door.
The door comes out of the cavity, the running gear gets replaced, and the track is checked and packed straight before the door goes back. Most are done in a single visit.
Where a slider rattles against the pocket or catches on the way in, the guides at the floor have usually gone or the door has dropped enough to foul the cavity lining.
New guides, adjusted hangers and — where the lining has been damaged — a repair to the pocket itself, so the door isn't just re-hung into the same problem.
A door that catches on the frame or won't latch is normally the house having moved, or hinges that have loosened in softening timber over decades of use.
We ease and re-hang rather than plane a door to death, replace hinges where they've had it, and adjust the strike so the latch engages properly instead of needing a shove.
Replacing hollow-core doors from the seventies changes a hallway more than most renovations for the money. New doors supplied, hung, and hardware fitted.
That includes matching existing door sizes where you're only doing some rooms, and dealing with the fact that old openings are rarely square or a standard size.
Sliding wardrobe doors that come off their bottom track, mirrored panels that have gone at the edges, and bi-fold wardrobe doors with worn pivots and guides.
New wardrobe doors supplied and fitted as well, including changing the configuration where the existing arrangement never worked properly in the space.
Interior handles and latches replaced, privacy sets fitted to bathrooms and bedrooms, and passage sets that have seized or lost their spring.
Door closers on garage-to-house doors adjusted or replaced, along with the fire-rated hardware those doors are meant to have.
How it works
Interior work is easy to describe from a photo, and a short video of the door moving is even better — how a slider sounds and where it catches usually gives away which part has gone before anyone gets there.

Most interior door work is done in a single visit, including taking a slider out of its cavity and putting it back on new gear.

Almost never. The door comes out through the opening and the running gear is reached from there. The lining only gets touched if the pocket itself has been damaged, and we'd tell you that at the estimate rather than on the day.
Yes, and it's one of the most common calls. It's the hangers or the track, both of which are replaceable. Very few sliders need a new door.
Usually. Standard door profiles are widely available, and where an exact match isn't made any more we'll show you the closest option before ordering rather than after.
Yes — doors are supplied, hung and hardware fitted as one job. If you've bought handles yourself we'll fit those instead.
Regularly. Interior doors take a beating in tenanted houses, and it's usually more economic to do a batch across a property in one visit than one door at a time.
