Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix in Wigan

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

Wigan and Leigh are largely terraced and semi-detached, with newer estates in Standish and Orrell — bread-and-butter single-beam knock-throughs and rear extension openings.

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

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