Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Lancaster & Morecambe

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

Lancaster's sandstone terraces and Georgian town houses, and Morecambe's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mean solid stone and thick brick walls, so we size the propping and bearings for the masonry that's actually there rather than assuming modern brick.

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

Lancaster and Morecambe fall under Lancaster City Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
