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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
