Service overview
the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Review minor compatible fastening and adjustment work without reconstructing load-bearing furniture or undertaking specialist restoration.
Signs: a practical repair or compatible installation needs a clear product and access review or a supplied item, trim or fitting is loose, incomplete, damaged or needs adjustment. Causes: local damage that does not establish a structural requirement or ordinary wear, loose compatible fixings or minor fitting movement.

Movement at a joint may indicate more than a loose screw. Split material, pulled inserts or failed load-bearing connections can require specialist work or replacement. Stop using an unstable item and explain what moves rather than trying repeated temporary fixes.
The agreed service covers assessed minor mechanical fixings and non-specialist household furniture adjustments. Exclusions: Upholstery, antiques/conservation, powered mechanisms, load-bearing reconstruction, cabinet hinges, drawers, assembly of new items.
Common situations

Old holes, marks and uneven paint can remain visible around a replacement. State whether removal, patching and finishing are expected rather than requesting installation alone.
