Second Fix Joinery carpentry refers to the installation of finishings, fixtures, and supporting woodwork in a building once all other trades have completed their first fix work and plastering and mist coats have been applied. During this stage, second fix and finals items are installed throughout the build, including door linings, skirting boards, window frames, stair components, doors, architraves, ironmongery, and more.
Second fix carpentry also involves the installation of kitchen and bathroom units, fitting finals items such as ironmongery, bathroom fittings, hooks, shelves, and carrying out other finishing works and adjustments needed once other trades have completed their tasks.
