Architrave Replacement
complete ordinary decorative door or window opening surrounds
Service overview
Understanding the item before work begins
The decorative material needs sound ordinary support and appropriate fixings. Hidden services and uncertain substrate must be considered before attachment. This task excludes structural reinforcement and should not be used to stabilise an unsound frame through decorative trim.
Measure both sides and the top and identify whether one face or both are included. A doorway may have different trim on each side. The quote should describe the actual surround instead of assuming one opening means every adjacent decorative surface.
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.
Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing. Scope limits: Ordinary decorative surrounds only. No structural jamb or opening modifications, specialist glazing, fire-door certification or hazardous-material disturbance.
Eynesbury property context
Planning architrave replacement in Eynesbury
Eynesbury sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For architrave replacement, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement. Eynesbury sits near Mount Cottrell, Weir Views, Exford and Strathtulloh. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Useful details to include
- Wide and close photographs of the item and surrounding area
- Approximate measurements where size affects the scope
- Materials, hardware and existing-condition details
- Tenant, site-access or operating-hour requirements
Planning the work
Clear information makes planning easier
Suitability before scheduling
Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
An agreed task
Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Product details ready
Show the complete surround, profile, opening dimensions, reveal and adjoining skirting, including all corners. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Common situations
Common architrave replacement situations
Corner joints
Top corners and returns need appropriate ordinary cutting and fitting. Show any unusual junctions before ordering material. A compatible profile and adequate lengths matter; filling large mismatches is not equivalent to a properly planned replacement surround.
Finishing preparation
Agree filling, joint preparation and the painting boundary. A primed replacement can still need final decoration after fitting. Window glazing, specialist seals and rated-door certification are outside the task even where the new architrave sits beside those systems.
Reveal line
The visible reveal between trim and frame needs an agreed consistent position. Existing irregularities can affect the result. Replacing decorative material does not authorise reshaping the structural opening or hiding a frame condition that needs separate repair.

FAQ
Architrave Replacement: useful questions
Surround profile: what should I check?
Width, thickness and shape affect how the new surround meets the opening and nearby trim. Supply the proposed profile rather than relying on a distant photograph. This is decorative architrave replacement, distinct from repairing the door jamb or load-bearing parts of an opening.
What is included in architrave replacement?
Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Can architrave replacement be arranged at an occupied property?
Show the complete surround, profile, opening dimensions, reveal and adjoining skirting, including all corners. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
How do I request architrave replacement in Eynesbury?
Show the complete surround, profile, opening dimensions, reveal and adjoining skirting, including all corners. Use the quote form with the property address and a short list of requirements. Identify the quantities and any deadline so Fix Nik can review the scope and clarify the next practical step.
What preparation helps before architrave replacement?
Show the complete surround, profile, opening dimensions, reveal and adjoining skirting, including all corners. Keep the immediate work area accessible and remove ordinary belongings where safe. Discuss heavy furniture, fragile items and access restrictions before the appointment so the required preparation is clear.
How long should I allow for architrave replacement?
Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
Can I supply materials for architrave replacement?
Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement. Share the exact product specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish suitability. Missing materials or unsuitable supplied products can change the plan or require another visit.
