First fix carpentry in Fakenham

At about 32 miles north of Brandon, Fakenham is close to as far out as we go. Swaffham, Watton and Downham Market are all closer to us than Fakenham, which sits at the outer end of the area we cover, so it comes down to the size of the job rather than the postcode.

Fakenham falls under North Norfolk District Council. That matters as soon as a project involves a structural alteration or anything outside the existing footprint, because the application and the inspections go through them. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

Fakenham has a Georgian market place with brick and flint property and modern development beyond it. The complication is a separate matter. Brick and flint walls are rarely flat, and there are a lot of them here. None of that shows in a price list, which is why we come and look first. We price from the property, never from a template.

At roughly 32 miles it is outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full first fix the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather tell you that than quote a price that reflects the driving.

Fakenham has a Georgian market place with brick and flint property and modern development beyond it. The construction of the house decides how joists run, what walls are carrying, and how new timber has to meet the existing structure.

Plots in Fakenham are typical market town plots, tight through the centre. Access is the practical question here: long joists and roof timbers have to get from the road to where they are needed.

That depends on the property and the alteration, and the decision sits with the council. Anything structural is built to an engineer's design and inspected, which we plan into the programme from the start. In Fakenham that means North Norfolk District Council. If there is any doubt we would rather you check with them before work is booked than after.

Yes. It most often runs alongside second fix carpentry, extension work and renovation work, and because one team does the carpentry throughout there is no gap between trades. At about 32 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.
