Gaps between units and the wall are the most common complaint, caused by old houses with uneven plaster. A good joiner scribes the end panel to the wall profile instead of leaving a straight gap. Ask how they plan to handle this before the timber is cut, because scribing cannot be done afterwards.
Ask how they will protect floors and furniture during dust-heavy work. Confirm who removes old doors, architrave or skirting, and whether disposal is included. Request the timber species, board thickness and finish in writing. Also ask start date, expected duration and daily working hours so access is clear.
A joiner builds, fits, and repairs timber items that are made to measure. This includes wardrobes, alcove shelving, under-stair drawers, bookcases, internal doors, frames, and small structural repairs to wooden floors or stairs. Most work is done off-site in a workshop and then installed in a few hours at the property.
A deposit of 20 to 30 percent is normal when off-site manufacture starts. Never pay the full balance before the job is complete and any snagging list is finished. Stage payments, such as 30 percent on order, 40 percent at delivery, and 30 percent on completion, are common for larger fitted furniture projects.
Moisture content matters more than wood species. Joinery timber should arrive acclimatised for at least 7 days in the heated room where it will live. MDF skirting swells fast when wet, so keep packs off bare concrete. Ask the joiner to seal cut ends on stairs and sills before painting to block moisture.
A survey and quote visit takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. Off-site manufacture runs 2 to 4 weeks for most fitted furniture. Installation of one wardrobe takes 3 to 5 hours; a full room of shelving can take 1 to 2 days. Allow an extra day for snagging, touching up paint, and fitting handles.
Ask for proof of public liability insurance and any trade body membership. Request photos of recent work similar to yours and at least 2 references you can call. Check online reviews older than 6 months to spot patterns. Confirm the business name, address and VAT status match the quote document before you sign anything.
Ask for a written guarantee that covers workmanship for at least 12 months. Keep the quote, invoice, material batch details and any certificates in one folder. Photograph the work before decorators cover it. Note serial numbers on ironmongery so replacements can be sourced quickly if anything fails within the warranty.
Squeaking floorboards usually mean loose tongues or insufficient fixings. A joiner can lift 2 to 3 boards, re-secure the joist with 50 mm screws, and silence the noise in under 1 hour. For stairs, ask about newel post replacement, balustrade spacing under 100 mm for child safety, and matching the existing timber profile.
Doors that stick in summer but gap in winter signal frames fitted before timber stabilised. Skirting lifting at corners usually means poor mitre joints or damp walls. Squeaky stairs often trace back to loose wedges under the tread. Insist on a second visit after 2 weeks to adjust and tighten fittings.
