2nd fix joinery and finishing work
Door hanging and finishing detail
Second fix is where the visible work is won or lost. Door margins, hinge gains, latch positions, architrave returns, clean scribes, and tidy boxing-in all show whether the person fitting it understands the timber and the room.
Rob takes the same care on one door as he does on a full finishing package.
Boxing in pipes and second-fix joinery
A lot of second-fix work is practical problem-solving: door hanging, skirting board fitting, or someone to box in awkward pipework cleanly without making the room look patched.
If you are weighing up the cost to hang a door or interior door installation cost, the frame condition, hinge positions, flooring level, and ironmongery usually make the difference.
Second fix carpenter questions
What counts as second-fix carpentry?
Rob regularly handles second-fix carpentry for refurbishments, late-stage snagging, and isolated finishing jobs. These jobs can look small on a list, but they still need proper setting out, careful preparation, and no shortcut workmanship.
What should I send before asking for second-fix work?
Send a short list of the items to be finished and a few photos and Rob can usually tell you quickly whether it is the right fit.
