Access & logistics: South East London traffic can be challenging. We plan arrival and delivery times around peak hours and always confirm parking arrangements with customers in advance.
Seasonal tip: Brockley and Sydenham Hill are among the hilliest parts of South London, creating microclimates in gardens. North-facing gardens may need additional consideration for garden room positioning and natural light.

Tailoring Architrave Fitting to Local Properties
Catford's housing stock leans heavily on Victorian terrace, Edwardian villa and 1930s semi. Each carries different considerations for architrave fitting — wall construction, ceiling heights, original mouldings and access all vary, and we adjust the approach accordingly.
Step-by-Step: Our Trim & Finishing Service
From the first measure in Catford to handover, your architrave fitting project moves through these stages:
- 1
Removal of Old Trim
Existing skirting or architrave is carefully removed and the wall surface is prepared for new fittings. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 2
Profile Selection
Select your preferred profile and height from our extensive range — or provide your own for us to fit. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Catford job.
- 3
Precise Cutting
Every length is measured and cut to fit, with mitred corners on external angles and scribed joints on internal angles. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 4
Secure Fixing
Trim is fixed securely to the wall using adhesive and pins, with consistent height and alignment throughout. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Catford.
- 5
Gap Filling & Finish
All gaps, nail holes, and joints are filled with decorator's caulk and filler, sanded, and left paint-ready. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Catford job.
Timings are confirmed in writing before the first day on site in Catford.

Architrave Fitting in Catford — Your Questions Answered
Will architrave fitting suit an older property in Catford?
A lot of Catford housing is Victorian terrace and Edwardian villa, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why architrave fitting in older SE6 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
What does a architrave fitting quote for Catford include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Catford jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around SE6 and the condition of what is already there.
Should architrave match the skirting board in Catford?
Ideally yes — matching profiles create a cohesive, polished look throughout your home. We can supply both in the same style for a uniform finish.
Do you fit architrave on both sides of the door in Catford?
Yes — we fit architrave on both sides of every door as standard. We also fit it around windows and any other openings that require a trim frame.
Can you fit deep architrave sets in Catford?
Yes — we work with all sizes from slim 45mm modern profiles to wide 100mm+ traditional sets. Deeper architrave adds presence and character to doorways.
