First and second fix carpentry and bespoke joinery on Balham homes, from structural timber to finished trims.
We carry out carpentry and joinery for homeowners across Balham and SW12, on its own or as part of a larger job. That runs from structural first-fix work like joists and studwork to second-fix finishing like skirting, doors and built-in units. It is the same trades that work on our extensions and loft conversions, so the standard is consistent.
Carpentry covers two stages of a build. First fix is the structural timber that goes in before plastering, such as floor joists, stud walls, roof timbers and door linings. Second fix is the finishing work you see, such as skirting, architraves, hanging doors and fitting stairs.
We also make and fit bespoke joinery, from alcove shelving and cupboards to window seats, which suits the chimney-breast alcoves in Balham’s period homes. We take on carpentry as a standalone job or as part of a wider refurbishment.

From structural timber to the finishing details.
