Project Overview – Carpentry & Fire Door Installation by M&A Carpentry Contractors

At M&A Carpentry Contractors, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality carpentry services with precision, efficiency, and attention to detail. Our recent involvement in the White Post Street Development in London showcases our expertise in providing tailored carpentry solutions for modern residential projects.

Located in a dynamic area of London, the White Post Street Development combines contemporary design with essential functionality. Appointed by Guildmore, the main contractor for the scheme, we were responsible for delivering a complete carpentry package from early construction stages through to the finishing touches. A key feature of this project also included the installation of certified fire doors in partnership with The Fire Door Inspectors (FDI), ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Scope of Works

Working closely with Guildmore’s project team, M&A Carpentry Contractors delivered a package of works designed to meet both the structural and aesthetic requirements of the development. Our scope of works included:

• Stairs – Precision installation of staircases to ensure safety, durability, and seamless integration with the interior design.
• 1st Fixing – Installation of the core structural elements including door frames, casings, and essential framework ahead of final finishes.
• 2nd Fixing – High-quality finishing carpentry, including fitting skirting, architraves, doors, and other detailed joinery elements.
• Finals – Completion of final carpentry touches to achieve a polished, ready-for-handover standard.
• Signage – Supply and installation of internal signage, ensuring consistency with the development’s style and wayfinding needs.
• Fire Door Installation – Fitted throughout the development in partnership with The Fire Door Inspectors, ensuring compliance with current fire safety regulations and providing full certification.

Fire Door Compliance & Safety

A key responsibility on this project was the installation of fully certified fire doors. Working alongside The Fire Door Inspectors, our team ensured that each door was installed in strict accordance with safety requirements, delivering both functionality and an excellent visual finish.

This process involved:

• Accurate fitting to manufacturer specifications.
• Installation of correct intumescent seals and compliant hardware.
• Collaborative inspections with FDI to verify performance and safety compliance.
• Providing certification for building control approval and client assurance.

This focus on compliance ensures the development meets all regulatory standards while prioritising the safety of future residents.

Coordination & Craftsmanship

The White Post Street Development was delivered to a tight programme, requiring careful coordination between trades. Our team worked in close partnership with Guildmore’s site management and other contractors to ensure each stage of the carpentry works was completed efficiently and to the highest quality.

From the robust installation of staircases to the fine detailing of second fix joinery, our craftsmanship and attention to detail were central to achieving the desired outcome. Our ability to manage both functional requirements and decorative finishes ensured that the interiors matched the project’s high design standards.

Adding Value to the Project

Our complete carpentry service allowed for streamlined delivery, reducing the need for multiple subcontractors and ensuring a consistent finish across all elements. By integrating safety-critical features such as fire doors with aesthetic elements like signage and detailed joinery, we contributed to a cohesive and functional final product.

The development now benefits from durable, well-installed carpentry features that enhance both the everyday usability and long-term value of the properties.

The White Post Street Development stands as a strong example of M&A Carpentry Contractors’ ability to deliver a full range of carpentry services to an exceptional standard.

From practical installations like stairs and fire doors to finishing touches such as signage and final detailing, our team worked with skill, efficiency, and a focus on quality. By partnering with Guildmore and The Fire Door Inspectors, we ensured the completed project met both aesthetic and regulatory requirements, creating a safe and attractive living environment.
