Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Carlisle

Joinery and carpentry in Carlisle — first and second fix, doors, windows, frames and finishes, coordinated with the structural and plaster work.

Carlisle's red sandstone terraces and Victorian villas around Stanwix and Botchergate, and the stone houses in Penrith and the Eden valley, need openings designed for heavy masonry, with the bearings checked at survey.

Joinery is the detail that makes a building work — door frames, lintels, floor joists and fixings going in first, then doors, windows, skirting and finishes following later. We carry out both first and second fix on structural projects and new builds.

What’s included

  • First fix — door frames, window frames and linings
  • Floor and roof timbers trimmed and fixed
  • Lintels and timber beams to specification
  • Second fix — hanging doors, installing windows and frames
  • Skirting, architrave and trim
  • Built-in joinery and fitted furniture
  • Bespoke doors and frames
  • Finishing — sanding and staining or painting

Carlisle falls under Cumberland Council building control and Penrith under Westmorland and Furness Council, or a registered building control approver.
