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: the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended or a supplied item, trim or fitting is loose, incomplete, damaged or needs adjustment. Causes: local damage that does not establish a structural requirement or an incomplete assembly or a mismatched replacement component.
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 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.
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.
