What is fix-out carpentry?

“Fix-out” (or second-fix) is the finishing carpentry that happens after the frame and lining are done. It’s the stage where a build starts to feel like a home.

What it covers

Hanging doors and fitting hardware, running skirting and architraves, building in robes and shelving, and finishing window reveals and sills.

Why it matters

Fix-out is where quality shows. Crisp, consistent detail — tight joints, level trims, doors that close just right — is the difference between a build that feels finished and one that doesn’t.
