🚪 Door catching or scraping on the floor?
It’s a common issue this time of year — doors swell with colder, damp weather or new flooring changes the clearance. A smooth fix can make a big difference day-to-day.

I offer:
• Planing & trimming
• Door adjustments & rehanging
• Light refurbishment / easing & refitting

If your door is sticking, rubbing, or not closing properly, I’d be happy to help get it moving smoothly again.

New Solid Timber Door Fitted After Structural Repairs 🚪🔨

Following on from the earlier threshold and joist repair, this stage was all about finishing the job properly with a new solid timber door.

The old one had seen better days — water-damaged, twisted, and beyond repair. After strengthening the floor and wall plate below, I fitted a new hardwood door, carefully mortised for the hinges and latch to ensure a precise fit. Everything was sealed, aligned, and adjusted to open smoothly and keep the weather out for years to come.

This setup not only looks cleaner and sharper but also gives proper structural support for the external staircase. Built to last and ready for paint or stain.

Threshold and Floor Repair – Structural Timber Restoration in Progress 🪚

This job involved cutting back rotten joists and a damaged wall plate where years of water ingress had weakened the structure under a doorway. The threshold also had to support an external metal staircase, so it was essential to rebuild it properly.

I removed all the decayed timber, replaced it with treated structural-grade timber, and strengthened the whole section to carry the load safely. The new framework is now solid, weather-sealed, and ready to take a new door — built to last.

If you’ve got soft or spongy floors, rot around doors, or signs of movement in your thresholds or frames, it’s best to get it checked before it spreads.

🌿 Reviving Weathered Oak

If you’ve got exterior oak that’s looking a bit tired, don’t worry — bringing it back to life is easier than you might think.

A quick sand can completely transform the look. I recommend:
✅ Using a belt sander for ease and speed
✅ Starting with 60–80 grit sandpaper to cut back the greyed surface

You don’t need to commit to sealing it straight away, either — if you decide you prefer the natural weathered look, simply leave it. The oak’s natural tannins will gradually turn it grey again over time.

Perfect for beams, posts, or door frames like this one.

🛠 Transforming Spaces with Purpose

A recent project where we’ve begun converting an underused storage area into a clean, insulated room ready for its next chapter.

✅ Fully boarded with new plasterboard, ready for finishing
✅ Ceiling insulated and lined for warmth and soundproofing
✅ A much brighter, more usable space with a neat, modern feel

It’s always rewarding to see how a simple, functional upgrade can completely change the feel and potential of a room.

If you’re thinking about converting a garage, utility room, or outbuilding into something more practical, I offer bespoke solutions across Diss and surrounding areas.

🧼 Shower Resealing Done Right 💧

A clean, watertight seal can make all the difference to your shower’s lifespan — and your peace of mind!

When resealing, masking tape is your best friend. It keeps the lines crisp and professional, prevents silicone from smearing, and gives that satisfying “factory finish” look.

One more tip — avoid using your finger to smooth silicone. It’s a habit most people have, but it can introduce bacteria and oils into the seal, leading to early mould and lifting. Use a proper finishing tool instead for a cleaner, longer-lasting result.

If you don’t fancy doing it yourself, you can book me for this and other jobs on your to-do list as a half-day service.
