Door Repair · Dulwich & South London
Door Repair in Dulwich & South London — From £65
When a door stops working properly — it sticks, it drops, the lock won't engage without force — the instinct is to assume the door is finished. It almost never is. Nine times out of ten the door is fine and the problem is alignment, worn hinges, a failed keep, or a mechanism that's drifted out of adjustment. Repairing the actual fault costs a fraction of a replacement door.
We repair UPVC, composite and timber doors: realigning dropped doors on their hinges, easing swollen timber, replacing damaged keeps and strike plates, and repairing frames after forced entry. If the mechanism itself has failed, we replace that too — we carry the common UPVC gearboxes on the van.
What's included
- Dropped UPVC and composite door realignment
- Sticking and swollen timber door easing
- Hinge repair and replacement
- Damaged keeps, strike plates and frame repairs
- Draught-proofing adjustments as part of realignment
- Forced-entry damage repair and making secure

Door Repair — FAQs
My UPVC door has dropped and won't lock — can it be fixed?
Yes, in almost every case. A dropped UPVC door is usually a hinge adjustment and realignment job, sometimes combined with a gearbox service if the mechanism has been strained. We resolve most dropped-door faults in a single visit from £65.
My wooden front door sticks in damp weather — what can be done?
Timber swells with moisture — it's normal, especially on older Dulwich doors. We ease the door precisely so it closes cleanly year-round, and adjust the keep so the lock engages properly. It's a straightforward job and far cheaper than a new door.
Can you repair a door damaged in a break-in?
Yes. We repair damaged frames, keeps and lock cases after forced entry, replace the hardware with insurance-approved locks, and provide the itemised documentation your insurer needs — available 24/7 for emergency securing.
