    Skirting & architrave repair

    The workmanship is appalling. Joiner isn't the term I would associate with this debacle. The door lining is to wide which is why the architrave is sitting out. The architrave should of been rebated and or packed off to close the gap to the wall, the mitres should be superglue together and...
