Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Oldham

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

Oldham's hillside stone terraces and the desirable Saddleworth villages — Uppermill, Delph and Dobcross — bring a mix of solid-stone knock-throughs and larger openings in the period homes above the valley.

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

Oldham falls under Oldham Council building control, or a registered approver.
