Do you cover first and second fix carpentry?

Both. First fix covers roof timbers, joists, studwork and floor decks; second fix covers doors, skirting, architrave, staircases and fitted joinery. Having carpenters in-house keeps extension programmes tight.

Can you build a bespoke staircase or fitted units?

Yes. We take on bespoke staircases, alcove units, window seats and garden structures, made to fit the property rather than bought off the shelf.

Do you build cut roofs on site?

Yes. We cut roofs traditionally on site where the design calls for it, and also install trussed roofs to engineer drawings.

Can you replace an old porch?

Yes. Timber porches are one of our carpentry services. We have taken down and completely rebuilt existing porches, including removing an old concrete roof, and we handle any brickwork and roofing involved in-house.

Carpentry plays an important role in both the structure and finishing of a build. Our experienced team delivers high-quality workmanship that strengthens the functionality and appearance of every project.

“Courtney and his team are absolutely superheroes! A different builder had installed an unsafe, inadequate supporting timber beam. As soon as Courtney heard my predicament he brought round acros supports to make it safe. He put me in touch with all the people I needed and then fitted a beautiful, heavy glulam beam. He and his team were so professional and went out of their way to support me. Thank you Courtney”

Carpentry

First fix to second fix, in one team

On an extension or alteration the carpentry happens in two stages. First fix is the structure: floor joists, stud walls, roof timbers and door linings, all in before the plasterers arrive. Second fix comes after plastering: doors hung, skirting and architrave fitted, and the finishing details that make a room feel complete.

Because our carpenters work alongside our bricklayers, roofers and plasterers, each stage follows straight on from the last. There is no waiting for an outside trade to fit you in, and no gap between who built the structure and who finishes it.

Carpentry

Porches, decking and outdoor timber

Outdoor timber has to cope with Wiltshire weather. Decking needs a sound, level base, the right fixings and space for air to move underneath. Porches need to be properly founded, framed and weathered into the house.

One client had us completely rebuild their porch, including tearing down the original structure and removing a concrete roof. They were so happy with the result that they booked us in for additional work.
