Carpentry & construction services.
First fix, second fix, extensions, renovations, attic conversions, structural roofing, new builds and fitted kitchens across Dublin and surrounding areas.
One team for the full build and finish.
J. Livingston Carpentry & Construction covers the core carpentry and building services needed to take a job from rough structure through to finished detail.
Whether the work is a small second-fix package, a fitted kitchen, an attic conversion, a full renovation or a new build, the aim stays the same: clear pricing, clean site work and a finish that looks right.
The services below match the main work carried out across Dublin and surrounding areas.
First fix
First fix is the hidden carpentry and structural preparation that everything else depends on. It has to be square, accurate and planned properly before the finished work goes near it.
- Stud walls and internal framing
- Joists, floors and timber structure
- Door frames and rough openings
- Roof timbers and support work
Second fix
Second fix is the part everyone sees. Doors, skirting, architraves, stairs, trim and finishing details are fitted with a carpenter’s eye so the finished space feels sharp and complete.
- Doors, handles and ironmongery
- Skirting, architrave and trims
- Stairs, panelling and finish detail
- Clean snagging and final handover
Extensions
Extensions give the home more room, more light and a layout that works better. The structure, carpentry and finish are planned together so the new space feels like part of the original home.
- Rear and side extensions
- Garden rooms and extra living space
- Structural openings and knock-throughs
- First fix, second fix and final finish
Renovations
Renovation work needs a team that can deal with existing houses properly. From layout changes to final finishing, the work is planned around the structure, the home and the way it will be lived in.
- Full and partial home renovations
- Layout changes and reconfiguration
- Floors, doors, finishes and trim
- Repairs, upgrades and full handover
Attic conversions
Attic conversions turn unused roof space into practical space. The structural carpentry, stairs, flooring and second-fix detail need to be handled accurately from the start.
- Attic floors and structural carpentry
- Stairs, access and storage
- Insulation-ready preparation
- Second fix and final finish
Structural & roofing
Structural timber and roofing work needs accuracy before anything else. The focus is strength, clean setting out, proper supports and a roof or structure that is built to last.
- Roof framing and timber structure
- Structural timber repairs
- Supports, openings and framing
- Roofing carpentry and preparation
New builds
New build work is handled with the same carpentry-led standard from structure through to final interior details. The aim is a sharp, organised build with a finish that feels properly complete.
- Carpentry-led new build work
- Structural stages and timber work
- First fix and second fix packages
- Final detail and handover finish
Fitted kitchens
A fitted kitchen has to work hard and look sharp. Units, panels, trims, worktops and finishing details are fitted carefully so the kitchen feels properly built into the home.
- Kitchen fitting and installation
- Panels, trims and finish carpentry
- Practical storage and clean lines
- Final snagging and handover
