moving door jamb

hanes

previous owners had a room boarded and plastered out. However cannot get any architrave around the door frame as its less than 4 inch to the wall.

Just wondering is it costly to move the door jamb or would it be better adding timber and having a slightly smaller door?

thanks

less than 4" from the wall? it must be some huge architrave..scribe the architrave to the wall...

1inch from wall

Just fit your architrave along the top with a perpendicular edge into the new plaster work and a second piece jointed at 45 degress to the first down the open side. Don't bother with architrave down the thin edge. Its very common practice in these circumstances.
