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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Pastoria property context
For Pastoria enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested architrave replacement. Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a Pastoria quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.

Planning the work
Complete separately agreed paint after preparation dries. Decorative trim replacement does not correct structural frame movement. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.
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.
FAQ
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. 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.
Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
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.
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.
Complete separately agreed paint after preparation dries. Decorative trim replacement does not correct structural frame movement. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
