door frame

Hi First time posting so apologies if this in the wrong place. I've just had some old carpet replaced in the front hallway area from carpet to vinyl. This has resulted in a gap between the doorframe quarter round trim and the finished floor (see photo). Gap is approx 10mm from the (finished)...

I have just removed an internal door frame to just leave an opening in the wall. Plan is to install some plasterboard and metal beads, then give it a nice finish. After removing the frame, however, two things came up that made me want to have a second opinion on: a) Concrete blocks got a bit...

Heya, first time doing door architrave so bare with me...!!! On the right hand side of the door, the tiler has left a gap for the architrave (69mm). Unfortunately the tiles aren't quite straight on the vertical. As you can see on this photo, when the architrave is flush with the door frame...

Hi All. Thanks in advance for any help. I've gone to repaint the exterior door frame on the front door. The bottom has a bit of damp. It's not rotten I don't think, pretty firm to the touch, but has swelled a bit. Not sure where to begin. Starting to get more rain so not sure how easy it'll...

So I’m making a start on decorating our front porch. I noticed that the skirting boards that are against the front door frame are wet and all the paint was peeling. I scraped the worst of it off, but really not sure what might of caused it or where to go from here? It’s not an old house or a...

I'm planning on replacing my sliding patio doors next year so I'm after a short term fix for the old wooden frame that has rotten in parts and have come off. Could I use expanding foam or some sort of putty to fill it till I'm able to replace the frames and doors to stop bugs or the cold...

Hi, I have got a mixture of 30 inch and 27 inch doors upstairs in my house. One of the bedrooms is 29.5 inch. I need to replace the frame on a couple of them. I was going to make two of them 27 inch openings. What is the pros and cons of 27 inch vs 30 inch? Will it look stupid? Where is the...

Hi, I’m trying to repair a damaged wall before fitting new fire door frames. What would you recommend to use to repair the walls before I fit the frames. Needs to be solid for good fixings I was thinking. Thanks RJam

Hello, I've removed some interior tiles at the foot of my aliminium front door to create a well for a coir mat. This has revealed a small plastic bar and some brick work. Does anyone know what this small plastic bar is doing? Can I remove this or is it something integral to prevent damp? Photo...

Hi everyone, I expect this has been asked many times, but I don’t seem to be able to find the answer I need. i am currently replacing a few door frames, architrave and skirting. The architrave I am using is 70mm wide and 25mm deep. When a door frame is right up against a wall at 90 degrees...

I think I might have posted this in the wrong section of the forum, so I am reposting here. Its difficult to categorise because there are lots of different aspects to the problem, but looking at it again, it mainly falls under the carpentry category I think! Anyway... I am doing a DIY...

I am doing a DIY renovation of our bathroom and have come across an issue that has me stumped. Despite searching around on forums and YouTube videos, I can't really find an answer to my issue. I am thinking it is a case of not knowing the correct techniques or methods to be searching for, so I...

I’ve been trying somewhat unsuccessfully to track down a replacement bottom seal for our UPVC patio doors. Photo provided. It’s a bit of an odd profile that I can’t find online despite a few hours of trying to pin it down. Also tried emailing a few suppliers to no avail. Does anyone have any...

Hi, I'm a newbie here and currently trying to find some door linings and feel like I must be missing something... My stud work is C24 carcassing 47 x 100 (45 x 95 finished) with standard plasterboard and skim each side - leaving me with a 125mm finished wall thickness - yet I can't seem to find...

Hi folks, bare with me, this could be a stupid question! I'm about to sound proof a friends garage to build a music room, essentially build a room within a room, basic stud work, rockwool and double boarded. My plan is to make a door and pack it with rockwool. I'd imagine it will come out...
