The hinges look the same the ones that go into the door are easy to adjust but the ones going from the the frame mean taking the door off and adjusting the other set of three hinges. It would mean taking the door off and adjusting each hinge 6 in total to get the right fit. there would be an awful lot of permutations before the right balance was achieved. As it happens when we had our snags sorted which the same door was the problem 2 Polish guys came to fix it, They took one look at it took the door off made a couple of adjustments and put it back on which was then fine. This is the reason I was trying to get someone familiar with these type of hinges. We were the first buyers and our neighbours halve the same problem. They also tried to get Danwood to fix their roof which proved difficult and the roofer they did get said the tiles were unusual

Try telling that to the insurance companies they all say it’s non standard

It’s a composite door and not likely to be planed. I do think it is the hinges that may need adjusting which on the face of it looks simple and I have tried many times to adjust them but with no change. My point being it would have been nice to have a joiner who is familiar with the Danwood construction hinges. It looks a simple job and would think a local handyman could do it very cheaply if it was a standard set of hinges.

We bought a Danwood bungalow 3 years ago and are very pleased with the property as a whole. However with it being a nonstandard construction we did wonder if anything went wrong with the property how easy would it be to find the parts and have it repaired by one of their workers after the 2 year guarantee expired. it took me quite a while to get in touch with Danwood and quite a few emails to discover if I required them to do any repairs they would charge £326 for a service team to come and look at a bathroom door which is catching on the floor. The charge of £326 was because they don’t have anyone near to our property. i do wonder if a tree fell on our property or such like how it would ever get repaired
