  • timber front door needs new paint and locjs

    We have an old but solid timber front door that needs old paint stripping off and repainting but also new locks and furniture. Is there a tradesman who can do both jobs or will we need a painter and a locksmith / iron monger to do two separate jobs? Many thanks.
