If you need any type of door sourced, then stained or painted I am happy to measure up and suggest options. Any types of interior and exterior doors trimmed and fitted. All types of door fixtures and fittings done.


The one below is having a thumb turn lock fitted for the bathroom using a jig Tec style of catch. They have a modern look and are high quality, coming in a range of finishes and sizes.


The door was treated with 3 coats of satin clear osmo door oil.

This job didn't involve fitting the radiator from scratch but refitting it as the old fixings weren't upto the job for such a heavy load.


The radiator was removed, then the holes patched and painted. I had to slightly move the radiator further up to use solid undamaged wall, drilled about 6 inches into the brickwork, and used double depth nylon fixings. One of the holes was still mushy so I used a chemical anchor to fix it into place.


Rehung the radiator and it was clear the top 2 fixings alone were able to take the weight to I was happy with all 4 in place.

If you need something hanging with the ultimate degree of accuracy, I use a laser level to ensure it. Useful for tiling, hangings, and many more odd jobs.
