What Is First-Fix Carpentry?

First-fix carpentry refers to the structural stage of carpentry carried out during the early phase of a construction project, before plastering and finishing. This includes essential frameworks and installations that form the skeleton of a building.

Typical first-fix carpentry tasks include:

Stud walls and partitions: internal wooden walls that create rooms and define spaces.
Roof structures: rafters, joists, and trusses that shape the roof.
Floor joists and subfloors: ensuring the building has a strong and level foundation for flooring.
Door frames and window frames: fitted before plastering for precise alignment.
Staircases: structural installation of stairs before final detailing.

This phase is crucial, as it establishes the framework on which the second fix and finishing touches will depend. High-quality first-fix work guarantee0s structural stability and ensures that all later carpentry installations fit perfectly.

What Is Second-Fix Carpentry?

Second-fix carpentry takes place after plastering, once the structure is ready for visible, detailed finishes. It is the stage where carpentry craftsmanship becomes most noticeable, adding beauty and function to the completed building.

Typical second-fix carpentry tasks include:

Fitting skirting boards and architraves
Hanging doors
Fitting stair balustrades and handrails
Installing kitchens, wardrobes, and bespoke furniture
Laying wooden floors

Second-fix carpentry focuses on detail, accuracy, and aesthetics, making spaces liveable and refined.
