Second Fix Carpentry

We deliver extraordinary second fix carpentry services to our clients when constructing new homes.

Second fix involves all of the finishing work that is usually done after the plastering.

Some of our second fix carpentry services include:

Internal Hardwood and Softwood Doors

This work involves installing internal doors to the rooms of the building. After installing the internal door linings from the first fix phase, the hardwood and softwood doors are perfectly positioned within the frame and linings.

Architraves to Door Linings

Architraves (or door surrounds and door casings) are decorative mouldings used to frame doorways. They can also be fitted around loft traps, box sash windows and plasterboard. Fitting the architraves is a brilliant way to add some character to the internal rooms of a home.

Skirting to Mouldings

A moulding skirting board is a fantastic option to provide a smooth finish to the internal design of a building. Skirting boards run along the bottom of an internal wall and the design complements the interior of a home beautifully.
