First-fix carpentry refers to structural timber work completed in the early stages of construction projects, before plastering is applied. This stage is essential as it lays the framework that gives the building its strength, shape and layout. This service includes constructing load-bearing walls, placing floor and ceiling joists, assembling roofs and constructing staircases.
Moreover, first-fix work establishes the structural framework and open areas that tradesmen such as plumbers and electricians need to install pipes and cables safely before walls and ceilings are covered with plasterboard.
Timing, function and visibility are the main differences between first-fix and second-fix carpentry. First-fix covers the framework, such as stud walls, joists and roof trusses, before plastering is applied, providing the strength needed to support the property. Second-fix follows plastering, focusing on finer details such as doors, skirting, kitchens and wall mouldings to achieve a beautiful finish.
Installing a new kitchen is a great way to boost your home's market value. It is estimated by property experts that a professionally designed and fitted kitchen can provide an increase of 5%-10% to your property value and a full return on your initial investment. The kitchen is the heart of the home and is often the first space potential buyers survey. Features like custom cabinetry and durable worktops are a great way to make your kitchen more attractive.
