Carpentry & Joinery

Carpentry is where a build stops looking like a building site. Doors that close on the latch, skirting with no gaps at the mitres, a fitted wardrobe that looks like it was always there.

First fix and second fix

First fix covers the structural timber that disappears into the building: floor joists, stud partitions, roof timbers, noggins and door linings. Second fix is everything you see and touch afterwards — architrave, skirting, doors, ironmongery, stairs and fitted units. We do both, which means the second fix isn't fighting a first fix someone else got slightly wrong.

Made to fit the space you have

Older Sheffield housing stock is rarely square, which is why off-the-shelf furniture ends up with a two-centimetre gap down one side. Alcove units, window seats, bookcases, understairs storage and wardrobes are scribed to the actual walls rather than the ones the plan says you have.
