Carpentry & Door Fitting
Carpentry and Door Fitting in Leominster
Doors hung and eased, frames repaired, locks morticed in, and joinery jobs like staircases and handrails.
Hanging a door properly is a carpentry job and locking it properly is a locksmith's, which is why they so often get done badly by whoever turns up. Steve does both, so a new door arrives hung square, with the lock morticed in cleanly and the keeps set so it closes without being pulled.
The joinery goes further than doors. One customer needed a staircase and handrail installed; Steve came out that evening to quote and the job was finished to a brilliant standard the next morning, quietly enough not to wake their newborn.
Frames, linings and rotten timber around doors and windows are cut out and replaced rather than filled over, which matters most on external frames where the damage will otherwise simply come back.
What's included
- Internal and external doors hung
- Sticking and binding doors eased
- Door frames and linings repaired or renewed
- Locks and latches morticed into new timber

How carpentry & door fitting works
- Measure the openingFrames are rarely square in older houses, so the door is measured and cut to the opening you have.
- Hung and easedHinges set, door hung and eased so it swings and closes without binding.
- Locks fitted inLocks and latches are morticed in cleanly and the keeps set so the door pulls up onto its seal.
- Finished offIronmongery fitted, frame made good, and everything left working and tidy.
Common questions about carpentry & door fitting
Can you supply the door as well as fit it?
Yes, or you can buy the door and Steve hangs it. Either way it is measured to the opening rather than assumed to be a standard size.
My door binds in winter and is fine in summer. Can that be fixed?
Yes. That is timber movement, and easing the door and adjusting the frame or hinges settles it year round.
Do you take on joinery beyond doors?
Yes. A customer had a staircase and handrail quoted one evening and installed the next morning.
Can you replace a rotten door frame?
Yes. The rotten section is cut out and replaced with new timber rather than filled, so it does not simply return.

Brilliant, quick service. Steve was here within an hour, on a Saturday, got us into the house, and changed the sticking lock. Very reasonable charges too, very happy to recommend.
Perfect service from Steve. Turned up on the same day, and fixed a not so straight forward problem. Top bloke, top service and very fairly priced. If i have any more door lock related problems i won't be going anywhere else.
What took nearly two months for a company in Ludlow to do, this company completed in 2 days. Wonderful! I thoroughly recommend them and the prices are great too.
Excellent service this morning-repairing my mother's lock. Professional, efficient and a very reasonable rate. Can highly recommend!
Locked myself out and couldn’t find any locksmiths available, 20 minutes after calling him I was inside. Unbelievable service at a cheaper price than locksmith companies.
Messaged this company early in this morning about a jamming lock and he was here before 10am same day. Resolved the issue with the lock very quickly and the lock didn't need replacing which was brilliant. Very timely repair and a good honest price too. Will definitely use this company again for lock issues.
Called Steve after finding on Google. Worth a 6 star rating, he came out for an emergency front door lock fix. Arrived & door made safe within an hour of calling! Highly recommended, super friendly & knowledgeable.
Extremely good Service very efficient and friendly got the job done within 15 minutes and reasonably priced couldn’t ask for better! Thank you!
Steve was awesome. My issues were so much more complicated that was originally thought. It wasnt an easy job. He came in was amazing about it. Talked me through everything he was doing to help me not have a panic attack being understanding of my mental health issues. 10/10 id recommend. Going to call him again for the next work i need.
We recently moved to Leominster and found that one of our double glazed French doors had dropped leaving a large gap and a lock that struggled to work. We spoke to one company who said the door would almost certainly need replacing at a cost of approximately £2000! I then found Steve's details online and gave him a call. He was friendly and helpful from the off. He came and looked at the door, took it off the hinges and with a few adjustments he had it working perfectly. Smooth opening, no gap and a lock that worked like new, all for a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend Steve enough and he will be doing more work for us in the very near future.
5* service. Called Steve about replacement double-glazing panels. Came out to measure within 5 days and fitted all units a week later. Fantastic service, friendly knowledgeable guy. Very polite and professional and happy to have a chat whilst working. Will definitely use him again in the future when needed and would 100% recommend him to anyone for double glazing and from our conversation discovered he is a qualified locksmith too. Thank you Steve for your service.
Had a problem with a UPVC window hinge and a door that needed adjusting, Called Steve he was very professional, responding quickly to my enquiry, 48hrs later all fixed. Highly recommend Steve for his workmanship, reasonable prices and very polite nature. Thanks Steve.
Steve came out the same day I messaged him to fix a huge issue with a gap that in my uvcp patio doors. Was sceptical as do not really trust trades people to not rip me off! No one had been able to fix them, prior to Steve coming out and he only charged small fee, which really made a huge difference. Forever grateful as kitchen for first time in 3 years warm!!!
Steve came out and replaced our door lock almost immediately. A very professional service. I would not hesitate in recommending Steve and the many services he provides. Many thanks Simon
Steve is absolutely fantastic. I turned to the the Ludlow Facebook group when I was looking for a locksmith, as my conservatory door had jammed shut, and Steve's name was repeatedly recommended. I now know why. He rapidly responded to the enquiry I sent via his website, was extremely accommodating with time slots and presented a clear, transparent quote. He arrived as promised, and was friendly and professional throughout. Steve inspired confidence as he knew what he was doing, communicated clearly throughout and unbelievably presented an invoice that was under his initial quote - a testament to his honesty. I can wholeheartedly recommend Steve. Thank you, Steve. You made us very happy.
Great professional service from Steve when he repaired my front door. Polite, friendly and took the time to talk me through it. I highly recommend Steve and will certainly be giving him a call for any future window and door needs.
Found Steve on the Internet when looking for someone to come and fix our back door. Fast response was able to come the next day. Professional and kind. Gave us advice and told us his opinion on our suggestions in order to save us money. Steve will be coming back in a few weeks to do some more work for us in the house. Trustworthy guy.
What can I say, Steve has been a diamond, came out promptly to replace a pane of glass in my sash window. Steve did a fantastic job. Very professional, friendly, efficient and good value. I would highly recommend.
Door lock needed replacing as an emergency Steve came out within half an hour, fitted new lock. Excellent service and good value for money. Would highly recommend, and would call again.
Brilliant service. I found his details online, rang at 10am, Steve was here by 12noon - tricky little replacement of PVCU door mechanism that was jammed shut - all sorted quickly, no fuss, very friendly, tidy and efficient. Highly recommend - thank you Steve.
Steve is a superstar, he came and measured my very misted up window gave me a very reasonable quote and said he'd be back within the week. True to his word, he installed the window quickly and very efficiently. I now have a throughly clear window, 10 year guarantee too...a win win! I fully reccomend Steve an absolutely lovely and friendly guy. Thank you Steve.
Was recommended Steve through facebook recommendations. Steve came out to view the job (installation of a stairs and rail) that evening to quote. Steve was compassionate to our needs as was a true professional throughout. The job wad completed the next morning to a brilliant standard, he even managed to not wake up newborn baby whilst doing the job. Could not recommend him high enough. Thanks Steve!
Fantastic service. I'd highly recommend Steve. Rang him, & job was done the next morning. Needed him twice in a week to sort locks out, both times he was prompt, polite, & did an excellent job. Many thanks.
Steve was just brilliant! He did a very professional repair to 2 windows. Was on time and very reasonably priced for work completed.
Outstanding service from Steve once again (new lock). So knowledgable, highly skilled, trustworthy and genuinely cares. Huge thanks and highly recommend!
