Structural & Interior Carpentry in Manchester
Precision-first joinery for HMOs, extensions, and refurbishments
At R Joinery, we deliver high-quality, joinery-led construction and finishing work across Manchester and the surrounding areas. From full HMO conversions, interior joinery, kitchens and refurbishments — every project is carried out with care, precision, and pride.
Structural Carpentry That Sets the Standard
At R Joinery, our work often begins before the finishes and details — with the core structure of a build. We specialise in first and second fix carpentry for HMO conversions, extensions, and refurbishments across Manchester, laying the framework for homes that are built to last.
Whether you’re opening up a floorplan, creating new rooms, or rebuilding from the inside out, we bring over 40 years of combined experience in structural timberwork to every job.
We’re known for being on time, on spec, and on your side — working with landlords, developers, and homeowners to deliver joinery that’s safe, compliant, and ready for finishing.
What We Cover
Our structural and interior carpentry services include the core building blocks of most HMO and home refurbishment projects. These often work together as part of larger jobs — but each can be quoted for individually as needed.
First and Second Fix Carpentry
From floor joists and timber studs to door frames and architraves — our team covers the essential joinery stages of every build or conversion.
Loft Conversions
Convert unused roof space into habitable rooms — often key in HMO layouts and modern family homes.
Timber Roof Construction
Traditional roof structures hand-built to fit. Ideal for extensions or refurbishments where strength and durability matter.
Staircase Installation
We supply and fit bespoke or pre-made staircases to match layout changes or refurb requirements — including space-saving and HMO-compliant solutions.
Wooden Flooring
Timber flooring options to suit every budget and style — fitted properly, prepped correctly, and built to last.
Built for our clients — delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.
