When it comes to construction and home renovation, carpentry plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and final aesthetic of a property. At Town Carpentry, we specialise in both first fix and second fix carpentry services, delivering expert craftsmanship and reliable service to homeowners, builders, and developers across the region.
In this post, we’ll break down what each phase involves and how our skilled team ensures every stage of your project is completed to the highest standard.
What Is First Fix Carpentry?
First fix carpentry refers to all the work done before plastering or finishing surfaces. This stage lays the groundwork for the structure and framework of the property. It includes everything that becomes concealed behind walls, ceilings, and floors.
Common First Fix Services Include:
- Stud wall construction
- Floor joists and staircases
- Roof structures (rafters, trusses)
- Door frames and window casings
- Installing timber supports for plumbing and electrical systems
At Town Carpentry, our team ensures that all first fix elements are precisely measured and fitted to provide a strong, level foundation for the second phase of work.
What Is Second Fix Carpentry?
Once the plastering and other internal finishes are completed, we move on to the second fix. This stage is where the finer details come together to create a polished and functional space.
Common Second Fix Services Include:
- Hanging internal doors and fitting locks or handles
- Installing skirting boards and architraves
- Fitting stair balustrades and handrails
- Installing kitchen units, shelving, and cabinetry
- Finishing touches like window boards and thresholds
Our expert carpenters take care in delivering a seamless finish, ensuring each element is installed to perfection.
