What is First-Fix Carpentry?
In the world of carpentry, "first-fix" refers to the essential initial phase of construction that sets the foundation for the building's structural integrity.
This stage begins with the basic framework of the building and continues up to the point where it is ready for plastering.
First-fix carpentry is crucial as it involves installing fundamental elements that provide support and shape to the structure.
Studwork
Building studwork walls is a key part of the framing stage. These walls can:
Separate rooms
Divide large spaces
Create corridors or hallways
Construct nibs (nib walls)
Our studwork walls are meticulously constructed to be perfectly level, ensuring that plasterboards fit seamlessly without any issues.
Floating Floors
We specialise in the installation of floating floors, which do not require nailing or gluing to the subfloor. This method is ideal for various floor coverings such as:
Laminate Flooring
Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVF)
Engineered Flooring
Staircases
Our skilled carpenters and joiners design, build, and install bespoke timber staircases that complement the interior of any building. Our staircase services include:
Staircase fitting
Studwork, plasterboard, and panelling
Installing newel posts and half newels
Cutting and fixing handrails
Spindle installation
Windows & Window Boards
We frame windows to prepare them for installation on the walls, and we also build and fit window boards (or sills) as part of the first-fix process.
Exterior Doors
The entrance of a building creates the first impression. Our professional carpenters build and install a variety of exterior doors that serve as a focal point of the property.
Internal Door Linings
We fit internal door linings, ensuring they are perfectly constructed to allow the doors to sit flush within the frames.
Noggins
To enhance the strength of timber structures, floors, and walls, we use noggins (bridging or blocking). Noggins also help to straighten out wall studs and floor joists if necessary.
