Okay. Tubthumper Towers has some wood patio doors at the back which need repairing. At most, some sections at the bottom might need chopping out and replacing. They need painting as well. After previous success with finding the necessary experts and skills on here, [MENTION=13230]Psychobilly freakout[/MENTION] and [MENTION=32905]B-right-on[/MENTION], I thought I’d try again....any French window carpenter type repair people out there?

PS [MENTION=32905]B-right-on[/MENTION], not forgotten we need to talk again in spring.

Why do they have to be French for goodness sake? I'm sure there are perfectly good British tradespeople out there.

I think that’s what they’re called. But I might have got the nomenclature of middle-class accoutrements confused; easily done when you’re working class.

We got fed up repairing and painting our french doors and installed bi-fold doors. One of the best decisions we have made. Zero maintenance and opens up the space far more than french doors.

Anybody actually given any thought to taking the Op as serious and come up with a sensible response?

This is actually a serious request but some of the replies have made me chuckle, the Non response especially.

A normal carpenter should be able to do these kind of repairs.

And not these Carpenters either:

Did you manage to get a carpenter and would you recommend them. I need one to mend my mother’s wooden garage doors which have stopped closing properly. Any recommendations please?

Have you tried opening them and shutting them again?
