First and second-fix carpentry, fire-rated joinery, doors and frames, skirtings and architraves, bespoke repairs and made-to-measure work: delivered by time-served carpenters who understand that on a block, the joinery is judged by what's still tight in five years' time, not what looks right on handover day. [Request A Survey](/contact) [01202 012290](tel:+441202012290) Qualified · Firequal Qualified · BS 8214 Compliant · Bournemouth-Based One accountable team on every job Prompt response across all postcodes we cover RAMS supplied up front Resident-aware delivery on every job Service Overview ## Carpentry & Joinery: The Brief, In Plain English. ### What It Is Time-served carpentry: first-fix structural carpentry, second-fix joinery, door and frame installation including fire-rated assemblies, skirting and architrave packages, made-to-measure repairs, panelling, kitchen and bedroom carcassing, and bespoke joinery for restoration projects. ### Who It's For Managing agents, freeholders, private landlords, homeowners, restoration specialists and contractors needing a competent carpentry subcontractor. Our biggest volume is fire-rated joinery for block maintenance contracts. ### When You Need It On refurbishments, inter-tenancy turnaround, FRA action close-out, post-incident make-good, planned redecoration cycles, and on bespoke restoration where machine joinery isn't an option. ### Why It Matters Joinery on a block has to survive 20 years of residents, cleaning trolleys, removal vans and humidity cycling. The difference between a carpenter who does it once and a carpenter who comes back next month for snagging is competence, material selection, and detail. What Happens If You Wait ## The Cost Of Doing Nothing. Bad communal joinery shows up faster than any other trade. Within 18 months, poorly installed skirtings cup off the wall, architraves split at the mitre, kicker boards lose their fixings and door frames spring at the hinge plates. The repeat-visit cost dwarfs the original install. ### Risks Of Ignoring It - → Wear-point joinery failure between decoration cycles, forcing unplanned spend. - → Fire-rated joinery compromised by non-certified hinges or seals: voiding the assembly's certification. - → Resident complaints from squeaking, sticking or dropped doors that should have been correctly hung first time. - → Insurance shortfall on incident make-good where the carpentry installer can't evidence competence. - → Capex inflation from premature joinery replacement on what should be a 15-year asset. ### Common Mistakes Customers Make - × Buying off the shelf for a building with bespoke openings: gap-filled trims age badly. - × Letting a non-specialist trim a certified fire door: voids the assembly. - × Skirting and architrave nailed only into plasterboard with no stud catch: fails within 12 months. - × Using MDF in damp-prone communal areas: swells at the bottom edge and dies fast. - × No tolerance for movement: solid timber needs expansion gaps, especially on long runs. Our Process ## First Call To Final Sign-Off. 01 ### Inspection Site visit at an agreed access window: measurements, photographs, scope and constraints recorded against your reference. 02 ### Diagnosis Findings written up against the standard, BS or building safety case clause they relate to, with severity and priority assigned. 03 ### Proposal Itemised quote, programme, RAMS and product/competency evidence: sent to the distribution list you nominate. 04 ### Works On Site Tidy, resident-aware delivery. Dust control, drop sheets, daily clear-up and notified working hours. One named lead on site. 05 ### Sign-Off & Handover Photographic completion pack, certificates and product traceability documents supplied for your file. Why It's Worth It ## What You Actually Get. ### Right-First-Time Install Time-served carpenters working to detailed drawings: minimising the return-visit snag cost. ### Fire-Rated Joinery Done Correctly Certified assemblies installed strictly to manufacturer manual: keeping certification intact. ### Service-Life Materials Material selected for environment: moisture-resistant grades in lobbies, hardwood at wear-points, MDF only where appropriate. ### Lower Through-Life Cost Properly installed communal joinery should run 15-20 years between replacement: cheaper than two 7-year cycles. ### Reliable Programme Delivery Block-scale joinery packages delivered to published programme with photographic progress reporting. ### Peace Of Mind On Heritage Work Restoration projects matched to the existing detail: replication, not approximation.

Fixed back to stud with brad-and-glue, plus mechanical fixing on long runs. ### First-fix carpentry Stud partitions, ceiling battens, noggings for fixings, door linings, floor decking: to BS 5268 and the structural engineer's spec where applicable. ### Second-fix joinery All visible joinery: doors, ironmongery, skirtings, architraves, picture rails, panelling, dado rails, window boards. ### Fire-rated joinery Glazed fire-screens, fire-rated frames, riser-cupboard sets, intumescent seal upgrades: installed to the certified system with certificate references retained on file. ### Bespoke and restoration joinery Replication of period detailing on heritage buildings, sash window repair, panel-door make-good, staircase nosing and handrail repair. ### Kitchen and bedroom carcassing Off-the-shelf and made-to-measure carcassing, including alignment, levelling and scribe-fit.
