At WJB Solutions, we provide professional 1st and 2nd fix joinery for homes, renovations, extensions and new build projects across Selby and the surrounding areas.
Both stages of joinery play an important part in getting a property ready for completion. First fix focuses on the structural timber work carried out before the finishing stages begin, while second fix covers the visible joinery that gives the property its finished look.
First fix joinery is work completed during the early stages of a building or renovation project, before plastering, decorating, and other final finishes take place.
This stage focuses mainly on the property's structural and practical elements. Much of the work may later be covered or built around, so accuracy is essential to make sure the rest of the project can progress smoothly.
Typical 1st fix joinery jobs can include:
Timber stud walls and partitions
Floor joists
Roof timbers
Door frames and linings
Staircase structures
Timber supports and framework
Boxing and structural timber work
Preparation for fitted features
Timber work for extensions and renovations
General internal framework
Second fix joinery takes place later in the project, once the main structure is complete and plastering has usually been finished. This is the stage where the visible timber features are fitted, giving each room its finished appearance. Second fix work often involves more detailed finishing and requires high precision.
Typical 2nd fix joinery jobs can include:
Hanging internal doors
Fitting skirting boards
Installing architraves
Fitting door furniture
Window boards
Staircase finishing
Handrails and balustrades
Shelving
Cupboards and storage
Timber trims and finishing details
Fitted furniture
Bespoke joinery features
By offering both 1st and 2nd fix joinery, WJB Solutions can support your project from the earlier construction stages right through to the final details.
Whether you are building an extension, renovating an existing property or working on a new build, having the same experienced team complete multiple stages of the joinery can help maintain consistency throughout the job.
We can also incorporate bespoke joinery where required, creating made-to-measure features that suit your property and make the most of the space available.
