First Fix Carpentry in Derby & the East Midlands

L & R Joinery provides expert first fix carpentry for builders, developers, and homeowners across Derby and the East Midlands. Our structural carpentry work forms the backbone of any building project — from stud walls and floor joists to hand cut roofs.

Stud Walls & Partitioning

We construct timber and metal stud wall partitions to create new room layouts, whether in new builds, extensions, or renovation projects. All walls are built square, plumb, and ready for boarding, with proper provision for services, insulation, and door openings.

Floor Joists & Structural Floors

Correct floor joist installation is critical to any building project. We install engineered joists, solid timber joists, and engineered floor systems, ensuring they're properly supported, spaced, and secured for a solid, level, and squeak-free floor.

Roof Construction & Hand Cut Roofs

Our carpenters are skilled in traditional hand cut roof construction — a craft that's becoming increasingly rare. Whether it's a simple pitched roof, a complex hipped and valley roof, or a dormer construction, we have the expertise to build it to the highest standards.
