An extension or new build involves a lot of carpentry, and it's often the part that decides how the finished rooms feel: level floors, square openings, a sound roof and a crisp second-fix finish. We provide the carpentry on extension and new-build projects across Cambridge, working alongside your builder or main contractor so the timber work is done properly and stays on programme.
On a typical extension we handle the first fix, floor joists, stud partitions, structural timbers and the roof (including traditional hand-cut roofs where trusses won't fit or where the new roof has to tie into an existing roofline), then come back for second fix once the plastering is done, hanging doors and fitting skirting, architraves, stairs and built-in storage. Because the same team does both stages, the details line up.
We're a carpentry team, not a main contractor, so we don't take on the whole build ourselves, but we're used to coordinating with groundworkers, bricklayers, roofers, plasterers, electricians and plumbers, keeping health and safety tight and the site tidy. If you're a contractor or developer rather than a homeowner, take a look at our dedicated site carpentry service.
Planning an extension or a new build? Bringing an experienced carpenter in early, for the first fix, the roof and the second-fix finish, is one of the best ways to keep the timber side of the project tight and on schedule.
