Sincerely recommend this company it's very refreshing to see a trade person who is proud of his craftsmanship. He is really an artist did not leave a spec of dust Thank you Alex
Nick F.
Alex is fantastic, really diligent and a great guy to have help with a project. He has just laid a solid wooden floor for me. It looks brilliant. The trouble is I'm not sure it's such a great idea to give him a great review as it will make him even more popular and in demand
John B.

More about renovation carpentry
Renovation carpentry runs from first fix to second fix: studwork, floor joists, roof timbers and structural repairs going in first, then doors, skirting, architrave and trim once the plaster is dry. Handled by the same carpenter across the whole job, that sequence stays joined up: nothing gets lost between visits, and nothing gets forgotten between trades. Where a renovation turns up a loft conversion or an extension alongside it, the same carpentry cover applies to that too, alongside your builder or booked in direct.
What a renovation carpentry job takes depends on what it finds. First fix work is usually quick to scope from a set of drawings, but structural condition only shows itself once floors and walls are opened up, and a job can grow or shrink accordingly. That is also why nothing is priced from a page: every renovation is quoted after a site visit, once the actual scope and access are known, rather than against a number that would not survive contact with the property.
Materials are only ever sourced where they are trusted and can be relied on: we would rather not take a job on than fit the wrong ones. Every site gets dust extraction and floor, drive and garden protection as standard, and is left tidy at the end of each day, whether the job is a single room or a whole house. Get in touch with what stage you are at, and we will take it from there.
Renovation & refurbishment carpentry: questions we get asked
Phrased exactly as customers ask them.
What does a first fix carpenter do?
First fix is the structural carpentry that goes in before plastering: studwork, floor joists, roof timbers and timber framing. It sets out the shape of the room or extension that everything else then gets built onto.
Do you cover second fix as well as first fix?
Yes. Second fix is doors, skirting, architrave and trim, fitted once the plaster is dry. Booking first and second fix with the same carpenter means one person carries the job through rather than handing it between trades.
Can you take on the carpentry for a loft conversion or an extension?
Yes, the carpentry side: roof timbers, structural work, and first and second fix. Where a builder is already running the wider project we work alongside them, and where you need the carpentry booked direct, that is fine too.
Do you work as a carpentry contractor for builders and main contractors?
Yes, this is work we actively want more of: subcontract carpentry on refurbishments, extensions and loft conversions, priced as day rate or price work as suits the job.
How much does renovation carpentry cost?
It depends on how much first and second fix work is needed, and what condition the structure is in once opened up. We quote every job after a site visit rather than guessing a figure blind.
