Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Kendal & South Lakes
Joinery and carpentry in Kendal & South Lakes — first and second fix, doors, windows, frames and finishes, coordinated with the structural and plaster work.
Kendal's limestone houses and the slate and stone cottages around Windermere, Ambleside and Ulverston have thick rubble-filled walls, so openings need careful needling and generous padstones; we plan the propping for stone before we arrive.
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
Kendal and the South Lakes fall under Westmorland and Furness Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Inside the Lake District National Park, planning goes to the National Park Authority.
