Architrave Replacement
complete ordinary decorative door or window opening surrounds
Mount Dandenong property context
Mount Dandenong 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. Mount Dandenong sits near Montrose, Sassafras, Olinda and Kalorama. 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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
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.
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. 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.

Discuss heavy furniture, fragile items and access restrictions before the appointment so the required preparation is clear.
Ordinary decorative surrounds only. No structural jamb or opening modifications, specialist glazing, fire-door certification or hazardous-material disturbance. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
