Second Fix Carpentry, Done Properly

Second fix is the finishing carpentry that happens once walls are up and plastering is done — and it's the work that's most visible day to day. We install doors, frames, skirting and architraves with surfaces prepped properly, hardware aligned to the millimetre, and edges eased for a refined feel.

Fillers are colour-matched and caulking kept razor-straight, so trim work looks premium up close and from across the room — not just from a distance. Whether it's a new build, a renovation, or replacing a single damaged door, we bring the same level of care to every job.

Second Fix Carpentry FAQs

What does second fix carpentry actually include?

Second fix is the finishing carpentry that happens after walls and plastering are done — doors, door frames, skirting boards, architraves, built-in cabinetry and hardware like handles and hinges.

Can you install doors I've already bought?

Yes — we regularly hang and fit owner-supplied doors, as well as sourcing and supplying doors ourselves. We'll check sizing and hardware compatibility before installation day.

How long does second fix carpentry take?

A single internal door usually takes half a day; skirting and architraves for a room is typically half to a full day; a full house of trim work can take several days.

Do you match existing skirting and architrave profiles?

Where possible, yes — we'll match existing profiles for renovations and repairs so new work blends in with what's already there.
