Stud Walls & First Fix
Stud Walls & First Fix Carpentry in Surrey & Sussex
Partition walls, door openings and first-fix carpentry set out square, plumb and ready for the plasterer.
Splitting a room, closing off a space or making a new doorway starts with the studwork, and if that isn't square and plumb everything that follows fights it. I set out from the existing walls and floor, frame the wall with proper noggins and fixings, and line the door opening so the door hangs true afterwards.
First fix runs alongside the other trades, so I work to the electrician's and plasterer's timings and leave everything ready for them.
Regular work in Horsham, and across the rest of Surrey and Sussex.

What customers say
I had Luke working with me on a recent job and I can't be more appreciative of how hard he works. He's super friendly, a good sense of humour and his work is superb! Would 100% recommend getting him in for any carpentry and joinery work.
Luke has made me a Pergola in my garden, replaced a rotting door on my shed and also made me a new garden gate and surround. I am really pleased with his work and he kept to his estimate. I’d be happy to have him work for me again.
