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.
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.
