Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Didsbury & South Manchester

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

South Manchester's Victorian and Edwardian semis — Didsbury, West Didsbury, Chorlton and Withington — are classic knock-through territory: two reception rooms into one, or the kitchen opened into the return.

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

Didsbury and Chorlton fall under Manchester City Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
