Second fix carpentry is where your home really starts to take shape. L & R Joinery provides expert finishing carpentry across Derby and the East Midlands, from skirting boards and architrave to bespoke wall panelling and shelving.
Wall Panelling
Wall panelling is one of the most popular ways to add character and style to your home. We design and install a range of panelling styles from traditional shaker panels and tongue-and-groove to modern geometric and slatted designs. Every panel is precisely measured, cut, and fitted for a flawless finish.
Skirting, Architrave & Door Hanging
We fit all types of skirting boards and architrave, from standard profiles to bespoke designs. Our door hanging service ensures every door opens, closes, and latches perfectly, with even gaps, correct ironmongery, and smooth operation.
Shelving & Built-In Furniture
From floating shelves and alcove units to full built-in storage solutions, we create bespoke joinery pieces that make the most of your space. Every piece is designed around your needs and finished to the highest standard.

What Customers Say About Our Second Fix
"Anton and his mate fitted 11 new doors, along with skirting and architraves, and did a splendid job. The workmanship was excellent with great attention to detail, and everything was left neat and tidy. They were reliable, friendly, and worked efficiently throughout. Took pride in their work and went above and beyond. Very happy with the finished result and would happily recommend them. I will definitely be hiring them for future projects."

"Late Sunday, I posted an urgent job to fit skirting all around our unit and install door architraves. Anton responded first thing Monday morning with a fair quote and an immediate start. He and his colleague worked non-stop until 11 pm to complete the job. They tidied up, cleaned the unit and hallway, and cleared away all waste. The quality of their work was impeccable, completely transforming our unit. We are truly indebted to Anton for his exceptional service. It was nothing short of a miracle, and we couldn't recommend him enough!"

"We have an uneven floor as it's an old house and expected to have to take the old skirting off. This would have meant re-plastering and painting the wall which we didn't really want to do. However Anton managed to cut and form a new piece of wood to cover the gaps. We are delighted and can't recommend Lawrence and Rose highly enough. Thank you Anton for solving a problem that has bugged me for ages."
