Second Fix Carpentry

Our second fix carpentry service in Galway includes doors, skirting, architraves, and final finishes with expert detail and precision.

Second Fix Carpentry

Second-fix carpentry refers to the installation of interior woodwork after the basic construction of a building has been completed. Unlike first-fix carpentry, which involves structural elements like floor joists, stud walls, and roof timbers, second-fix focuses on the visible and functional components that elevate a home’s aesthetic and usability.

 

These works typically take place after plastering, plumbing, and electrical installations are finalised. At this stage, the building is clean and dry, allowing us to carry out meticulous work without interference from other trades.
