I have recently moved into a council house, I don’t have a single door that closes properly and most don’t have handles. I really need to replace the bedroom doors, however the frames are metal with the hinges welded on. As I don’t own the house I really don’t want to go to the expense of replacing all the frames, is it possible to hang new doors onto the existing frame?

How long will it take to move a internal door? The wall is timber framed with plaster board
I recently got external rendering done and as a result the windows cills have been reduced and needs extending. I was thinking of putting a 9mm fascia capping board with various widths to create overhang of 40-50mm & fix it with silicone sealant. Metal sills are very expensive hence this option. I wanted to know which tradesmen can do this type of installation - carpenter / window person or general competent builder ? Also where I can look for such person please - I posted a job with photos but no response.
What exactly are the differences between a carpenter and joiner?
