looking at the image on my laptop, I cannot see any rebate. Initially, I too thought there was a rebate because of the bit of timber sticking out just before the hinge knuckle, but I suspect that is just a raised bit of timber that has split away from the frame. If you look above the hinge, there is no evidence of a rebate.
Door hinges not motised in

I suspect that the frame has minor damage at that point, resulting in the timber blowing out near the knuckle. Why would anyone make a door frame with a rebate that prevents the hinges from being rebated and supported by the frame?
Perhaps the OP can clear up the matter by saying if there is a rebate, or by photographing a different hinge.
Lol thankyou fmt my thought also.
Anyway I've worked out what to do now. I'm going to mortise the hinges in myself and pull the frame back to the wall take up the 12mm chunks he cut out the bottom of the frame on the sill. Will take some pics of finished and repost. Will send to chippy to show it shoulda been done. I doubt he will give a sh.t
You might need to partially rebate the hinges in the door frame and pack out the hinges in the door- otherwise the gap at the other side will increase. Personally, I would ask the chippie to sort it out.
Same as my front door frame.Allows door to swing thru without trimming door edge to an angle.

Most doors are at 90 degrees to the door frame. I have no idea what you are on about.
Please show me the rebate in the above image. In reality there is not one. Why not just fess up and say "my bad"?
The OP has paid for a substandard job.
Why is the recess not visible in the image that I posted, and again, please show me where rebate is. I don't understand, on the balance of probability, you made an error, but you are now doubling down- why?
If you look really really really hard you can just make him out at the bottom, he's the one with the shovel.
It is visible maybe clean your screen ? I could see it on a phone screen .
Cor it must be tiring with all that digging.
Sorry mate, I cannot see a rebate

Sorry, you are someone whom I respect but when have you ever seen a door frame that is designed to take the whole weight of a door via a 2mm by 5mm rebate.
The fact that I need to ask thus question is weird.
