Architrave Replacement
complete ordinary decorative door or window opening surrounds
Service overview
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Nar Nar Goon North property context
Nar Nar Goon North 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. A useful Nar Nar Goon North enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.

Planning the work

Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
FAQ
Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement.
