Doors, trims and flooring:
plan the details together.

Start with what stays and what changes

Make a room-by-room list of the doors, jambs, architraves, skirting and flooring you want to keep or replace. Photograph the existing junctions at doorways and corners. That makes it easier to identify related work before the installation starts.

Compare quotes with the same inclusions

Check whether GST, disposal and access requirements are included. A lower total may cover a different scope. TopGrade Group confirms the agreed inclusions in a written quote.

Installation-only or supply and installation?

Installation-only means you provide the agreed products. Send the brand, model, dimensions and quantity before purchasing so suitability can be discussed. Supply and installation includes the products specifically listed in the quote. Neither option automatically includes removal, patching or painting.

Measurements that help with an initial quote

Doors: record each opening separately

Photograph both faces of each door, the hinges, the latch edge and the frame. Record approximate door width, height and thickness, and tell us whether the door is being replaced or adjusted. Final fitting dimensions need checking before a new door is cut or ordered.

Skirting: measure the wall runs

Record the lengths of the walls that need boards, noting door openings and fixed cabinetry. Include the board height and thickness and a close-up of the profile. The cutting list and wastage depend on available lengths, joins and the room layout.

Architraves: count faces, not just doors

List each opening and whether one or both faces of the doorway need surrounds. Include windows separately. Measure the existing profile width and thickness if matching is important.

Flooring: show the rooms and their connections

Send approximate room dimensions or a floor plan, photographs of the current floor and the selected product details. Include hallways, thresholds and adjoining surfaces. The measured floor area differs from the quantity of boards ordered because cuts and layout create wastage.

Agree the installation sequence

The sequence depends on the flooring product, final floor height, existing jambs and the finishes being retained. Confirm door clearances, floor edge details, architrave widths and skirting profiles together. Painting, removal and preparation should have an agreed place in the schedule.
