Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Sale

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

Sale's streets of 1930s semis are perfect candidates for kitchen-diner knock-throughs: the dividing wall between kitchen and dining room is nearly always load-bearing, and a single beam opens the whole back of the house.

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

Sale falls under Trafford Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
