Handyman in Orpington: local knowledge
Orpington's 1950s and 1960s suburban housing is solidly built but now at the age where the original internal fittings are reaching the end of their useful life. Original timber windows have been partially replaced with uPVC on many properties, leaving a mix of old and new that can look untidy. Kitchens and bathrooms fitted in the 1980s and 1990s are now due for replacement, and the original softwood internal doors, staircases, and built-in furniture are showing decades of wear.

Pro tip for Orpington homeowners
If you are updating a 1950s or 1960s Orpington property, the original internal doors are often a standard size that does not match modern off-the-shelf replacements. Measure carefully before ordering, or have us check first. It is often more cost-effective to have doors cut to fit non-standard openings than to rebuild the door linings to accept modern sizes.

We handle the full range of general repairs and improvements.

The internal doors in my 1960s Orpington house are old-fashioned and I want to update them. Should I replace the frames as well?
Not necessarily. The original door linings in 1950s and 1960s houses are usually solid softwood in good condition. As long as they are square and not damaged, new doors can be hung in the existing linings. We check the linings for square, fit new hinges and latches, and hang doors that suit the opening. This saves the cost and mess of removing and replacing the linings, which also means replastering around the new frame. If any linings are out of square, we can shim and adjust them without full replacement.
