Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Stretford & Urmston

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

Stretford and Urmston's inter-war semis and terraces suit straightforward single-beam knock-throughs, and chimney breast removals are a regular request in the bedrooms of these houses.

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

Stretford and Urmston fall under Trafford Council building control, or a registered approver.
