What 1st Fix Carpentry Covers
1st fix carpentry is the structural stage of the work and forms the framework of a build before plastering and final finishes begin. This is where accuracy matters most, as the layout, levels, and support all need to be right from the start. We carry out 1st fix carpentry for homes, garden rooms, garden sheds, oak structures, and equestrian buildings, making sure everything is prepared properly for the next stage. Good 1st fix carpentry sets the job up for a better finish later on.

What 2nd Fix Carpentry Includes
