the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing.
Signs: a practical repair or compatible installation needs a clear product and access review or the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Causes: local damage that does not establish a structural requirement or an incomplete assembly or a mismatched replacement component.
The base of an architrave often meets skirting of a particular thickness and shape. Include that junction in the enquiry. Replacing one trim element may expose a mismatch, but changing the entire room’s skirting is a separate decision and scope.
Existing paint, adhesive and fasteners affect how the old surround can be removed. Some surrounding making-good may be needed. The service should not promise damage-free removal from every finish, and any unexpected deterioration needs discussion before the opening is covered again.
Complete separately agreed paint after preparation dries. Decorative trim replacement does not correct structural frame movement. Limits: Ordinary decorative surrounds only. No structural jamb or opening modifications, specialist glazing, fire-door certification or hazardous-material disturbance.
