First and second fix carpentry, staircases and fitted joinery for Mitcham’s inter-war, Victorian and post-war homes.
Our carpenters work across Mitcham and CR4, on the extensions and lofts we build and on standalone jobs. Mitcham’s homes range from Victorian cottages near Cricket Green to inter-war semis and post-war estate houses, and the joinery in each is different. We repair originals where they’re worth keeping, and build new work to suit the house.
On our own building projects, the carpenters frame the structure first: floor joists, stud walls, roof timbers for gables and dormers, and door linings. They return after plastering for the second fix, which covers doors, skirting, architraves, window boards and any built-in units.
On standalone jobs we repair or replace staircases, build stud walls, hang doors, fix floors and make fitted cupboards and shelving. We are happy to quote for a single day’s work.

Structural timber, finishing work and made-to-measure pieces.
Inter-war semis often still have their original staircases, panelled or glazed internal doors and picture rails. These are worth keeping in good order, and we can repair loose balusters, ease sticking doors and match missing lengths of moulding.
We see the work and note anything original worth keeping.
A written price for materials and labour.
Joinery made or ordered, then fitted with the house protected.
Left ready to paint, or painted if agreed.
Yes. We fit new spindles, newel posts and handrails to an existing stair, in a period or modern style, built to the current height rules.
Yes, one or a whole house. We fit new linings where the old ones are out of square, and fit handles and latches to match.
Usually. Many inter-war profiles are still made, and others can be run to order.
Yes. We repair rather than replace wherever possible, and check with you whether listed building consent is needed before any original joinery is removed.
Yes. Smaller jobs such as fitting shelves, boxing in pipes or repairing a stair are fine.
Carpentry is one of ten building services we offer across Mitcham and CR4. If your project needs more than one, we run them as a single job.
