Carpentry for refurbishment, extensions and fit-out projects
Carpentry appears throughout a construction project, from concealed framing and studwork to doors, skirtings and final joinery.
Crestane Construction can coordinate suitable carpentry packages across London for houses, flats, extensions, commercial interiors and wider refurbishment schemes.
The exact scope can include first-fix framing, plasterboard support, doors, frames, second-fix items, fitted joinery and local repairs depending on the project.
Carpentry can also be integrated with plastering, flooring, decoration, kitchens and other interior works.
Carpentry packages for residential and commercial projects
Suitable works can range from individual door packages to complete first- and second-fix carpentry within major refurbishment projects.
First-Fix Carpentry
Studwork, framing, noggins and other suitable concealed carpentry elements.
Second-Fix Carpentry
Skirtings, architraves, trims and finishing carpentry after plastering and first-fix works.
Internal Doors
Suitable internal door, lining, frame and ironmongery installation within refurbishment projects.
Studwork & Partitions
Timber framing for suitable internal partitions and wall build-ups.
Skirting & Architraves
New and replacement skirting boards and architraves coordinated with the interior finish.
Fitted Joinery
Selected built-in storage, shelving and fitted timber elements where included in the project.
Carpentry Repairs
Selected repairs to suitable timber elements, doors, frames and internal joinery.
Stair & Trim Works
Selected stair, handrail, trim and finishing carpentry where suitable for the project scope.
Commercial Carpentry
Selected first- and second-fix carpentry within commercial refurbishment and fit-out projects.
Carpentry connects several stages of a build
First-fix carpentry usually needs to be coordinated before plasterboard and finishes, while second-fix items come later in the programme after the relevant surfaces are ready.
Crestane can coordinate suitable carpentry with plastering, electrical works, flooring and decoration within a wider project.
Where doors, fitted joinery or other items depend on exact finished openings and levels, measurements should be confirmed at the appropriate stage.
Framing, studwork and concealed timber works
First-fix carpentry typically takes place before walls and ceilings are fully closed and before decorative finishes begin.
It can include suitable studwork, noggins, framing, support for fixtures and other timber elements within refurbishment and extension projects.
Accurate setting out is important where first-fix carpentry defines future openings, partitions and locations for doors or fitted items.
First-fix work should be coordinated with electrical, plumbing and other services that may need to pass through or within framed construction.
Doors, skirting, architraves and finishing details
Second-fix carpentry is carried out after much of the plastering and first-fix construction is complete.
This can include internal doors, frames, skirting boards, architraves, trims and other visible joinery details.
Good second-fix work depends on accurate openings, appropriate materials and coordination with the final floor and decorative finishes.
Suitable second-fix carpentry can form part of full-house refurbishment or commercial fit-out packages.
What can be included?
The final scope depends on the project stage, drawings, material specification and wider construction works.
Construct suitable timber partitions and framing within the agreed scope.
Provide suitable timber supports for fixtures, linings and associated works where required.
Install suitable internal door linings and frames.
Hang suitable doors and coordinate agreed ironmongery installation.
Install new or replacement skirtings to suitable prepared areas.
Complete visible trim details around doors and other openings.
Install selected built-in timber elements where included in the package.
Complete suitable local carpentry repairs and interface works.
Measurements, materials and timing affect the result
Visible carpentry is heavily influenced by the accuracy of the surrounding construction and the stage at which measurements are taken.
Existing Openings
Out-of-square walls, old frames and varying floor levels can affect door and trim installation.
Material Specification
Timber, MDF, veneered products and other joinery materials have different costs and finishing requirements.
Project Sequence
Carpentry needs to be coordinated with plastering, flooring, decoration and services at the correct stage.
Carpentry within larger interior projects
Carpentry is commonly needed throughout full refurbishments, extensions and fit-out projects rather than as a single isolated trade.
It can be coordinated with partitions, doors, plasterboard, kitchens, flooring, decoration and fitted furniture.
Crestane can consider suitable multi-trade packages where carpentry forms part of a larger residential or commercial project.
For broader works, see Interior Refurbishment London and Commercial Construction London.
