Door Repairs in Brighton's Victorian Terraces
Brighton's housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian timber-framed properties — and with age comes movement. Doors stick, frames shift, sash cords snap and window latches seize. The most common jobs we handle:
- Sticking doors — usually caused by seasonal swelling or frame settlement; we plane the edge and re-hang
- Draught-proofing — adding or replacing perimeter seals on external doors and sash windows
- Broken window latches & handles — sourced and fitted same visit in most cases
- Door frame damage — rot repair, reinforcement, or full section replacement
- Internal doors — re-hanging warped doors, fitting new internal doors, replacing hinges
- Emergency repairs — door won't close or lock after a break-in or storm damage
We often combine door repairs with lock fitting, carpentry and general handyman work in one visit.

Door & Window Repair Reviews — Brighton & Hove
"Lubos fixed our front door which had been sticking for months — planed the edge and re-hung it perfectly. Also fitted a new letterbox while he was there. Efficient, tidy and very reasonable."
Mark H. — Seven Dials, BN1
"Had a sash window that wouldn't stay up and a bathroom window catch that had snapped. Lubos sorted both in one visit — great work, good communication and fair pricing."
Carla J. — Kemptown, BN2
"Draught-proofed our Victorian front door — the difference is amazing, no more cold draft in winter. Lubos is a real professional, reliable and very good value for money."
Steve P. — Central Hove, BN3
Door & Window Repair FAQs — Brighton
Why does my door stick after wet weather?
Timber expands when it absorbs moisture, causing the door to bind against the frame. In Brighton's damp coastal climate this is very common — particularly in autumn and spring. The fix is to plane the sticking edge once the wood has dried, then seal it properly so moisture doesn't get back in. We can diagnose the exact sticking point and sort it in a single visit.
Can you draught-proof an old sash window without replacing it?
Yes. We fit brush pile seals and parting bead draught strips to sash windows — a much cheaper and more sympathetic option than replacement windows. A draught-proofed sash will typically reduce heat loss through the window by 50% or more while keeping the original character of your Brighton or Hove property.
How much does it cost to hang an internal door in Brighton?
Hanging an internal door (fitting into an existing frame) typically costs £80–£140 including labour. If the frame needs repair or adjustment, add £40–£80. We supply doors if required, or fit ones you've already bought. A full door kit (door, frame, architrave) supply and fit is usually £200–£350.
Can you repair a door frame that has been damaged or kicked in?
In most cases yes. We reinforce damaged door frames by replacing the split section, fitting security back plates, and re-hanging the door. For superficial damage, a good filler and repaint is often enough. We'll assess on site and advise on the most cost-effective fix before any work starts.
