Renovation carpentry in Southampton

First fix to final finish

Renovation carpentry covers everything a refurbishment needs from the carpenter — first-fix and second-fix. First-fix is the structural, behind-the-walls work: stud partitions, floor joists and flooring, door linings, noggins and boxing-in. Second-fix is the visible finishing: hanging doors, skirting, architraves, window boards, staircases and fitted storage.

We're used to being one trade in a bigger project, so we work cleanly around builders, electricians and plasterers and keep to the programme. In older Southampton homes we spend time matching new mouldings to original skirting and architrave profiles, so a renovation looks of-a-piece rather than patched.

Common questions

Renovation carpentry FAQs

What's the difference between first-fix and second-fix?

First-fix is the structural carpentry done before plastering — studwork, joists, flooring and door linings. Second-fix is the finishing afterwards — doors, skirting, architraves and staircases. We do both.

Can you manage all the carpentry on a refurbishment?

Yes. We can take on the full carpentry package for a renovation, from first-fix through to the final finishing, and coordinate with your other trades.

Do you work alongside other trades?

Routinely. We're comfortable working to a programme around builders, electricians and plasterers, keeping our areas tidy and ready for the next trade.

Can you match existing skirting and mouldings?

Yes — in older homes we match, or have profiles matched, so new trim lines up with the original. That's what makes a refurbishment look seamless rather than patched.
