Architrave Replacement
complete ordinary decorative door or window opening surrounds
Rosebud property context
Planning architrave replacement in Rosebud starts with the actual item and its setting. Show the complete surround, profile, opening dimensions, reveal and adjoining skirting, including all corners. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. For a Rosebud 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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
How it works

Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement.
Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing.
Confirm the Rosebud address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Complete separately agreed paint after preparation dries. Decorative trim replacement does not correct structural frame movement.
Planning the work
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.
Show the complete surround, profile, opening dimensions, reveal and adjoining skirting, including all corners. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
FAQ
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.
