The Finishing Team Developers Trust
Second fix is the point where buyers, clients and inspectors judge the entire build.
If one door binds, if a trim line is uneven, if a joint isn’t tight, confidence in the whole development starts to slip.
That is why developers choose Oxford Carpentry.
We deliver second fix carpentry that is:
Consistent from plot to plot
Clean and well-presented
Aligned, level and ready for decorators
Completed with minimal fuss and no surprises
Your buyers should walk in confident.
Your handover should be smooth.
Your snagging list should be short.
We make sure that happens.

The Problems Developers Want To Avoid
You already know the issues that drag a project down and cause a snagging list that will cost you time, money, and reputation.
The second fix is on show; it is the bit you, as a developer, are judged on.
We prevent the issues that you know you want to avoid and keep your reputation intact.
Doors that never quite close right
Misaligned architraves and trims
Gaps in joins and corners
Creaking or uneven flooring
Decorators held up due to delayed carpentry
Visible filler and rushed finishing
Snags that delay sign off and payment
Buyers complaining about finishing quality
This is the stage of the job where sloppy work costs you the most.
We make sure it never gets to that point, so you can know your handover will put a smile on the customers face followed up with a recommendation, rather than a snag list and a scathing review.
