Bryanston's older homes often have generous solid-timber built-ins that are absolutely worth restoring — better material than most replacements. Carpenters here spend a lot of time on exactly this: re-hanging doors, rebuilding drawers, and modernising interiors while keeping the solid carcasses.

Yes — board replacement, sanding and resealing, balustrade repairs, and pergola work are all core carpentry. Note the boundary though: structural changes to what holds a deck up are engineering territory, and a trustworthy pro will say so rather than improvise with load-bearing timber.

Seal every face and edge — especially the top and bottom edges nobody sees — because unsealed timber drinks seasonal moisture and swells. The full treatment is easing the genuine tight spots, then sealing or varnishing all six faces of the door. Trimming without sealing just books next season’s repeat appointment.
