Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Leigh

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

Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley are old mill towns with long runs of terraces, where opening the two downstairs rooms into one and taking out chimney breasts are the bread-and-butter jobs, alongside rear openings on the newer estates.

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

Leigh falls under Wigan Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
