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: a supplied item, trim or fitting is loose, incomplete, damaged or needs adjustment or the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Causes: ordinary wear, loose compatible fixings or minor fitting movement or an incomplete assembly or a mismatched replacement component.

Replace the accepted ordinary decorative surround with suitable joints and fixings, leaving the agreed preparation for finishing. Limits: Ordinary decorative surrounds only. No structural jamb or opening modifications, specialist glazing, fire-door certification or hazardous-material disturbance.
