architrave replacement can be appropriate when a supplied item, trim or fitting is loose, incomplete, damaged or needs adjustment. Check decorative profile and reveal compatibility on a sound unchanged opening before agreeing removal and replacement.
Signs: a practical repair or compatible installation needs a clear product and access review 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.
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.
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.
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.
