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

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

Urmston, Flixton and Davyhulme are full of Edwardian and 1930s semis, where the dining room and kitchen are separated by a load-bearing wall that's begging to come out, and the back of the house is ready for a full-width opening.

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

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