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 small deposit under 25 percent is normal for materials bought in advance. Stage payments tied to milestones protect both sides. Never pay the final amount until snagging is complete and you have all keys, spare parts and care instructions. Insist on a receipt showing VAT number when applicable.
Choose solid core or engineered doors for stability over hollow core. Specify hinges rated for the door weight; 3 hinges on doors above 1981 mm tall reduce drop. Discuss latch type, backset and whether you need fire-rated hinges. Confirm who supplies handles, locks and stops and whether cylinders are insurance approved.
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.
Price varies with material grade, room access and whether the existing frames are square. Standard internal door replacements often fall between modest labour day rates and supply-and-fit quotes. Reclaimed timber, curved stair parts and hand-painted finishes push prices higher. Get 3 written quotes that list the same scope to compare fairly.
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.
Clear the work area and move small furniture 1 day before installation. The joiner needs a clear run from the door to the wall, about 1 metre wide, to bring in boards safely. Keep pets and children out of the room. Confirm where the dust sheet will go and where the van can park for unloading heavy sheets.
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.
Replacing an internal door means checking the frame for twist and the latch position. A joiner can plane a sticking door on site in 20 to 30 minutes, but a new door takes 2 hours including hinges and a 65 mm latch. Specify whether you want fire-rated doors on ground floor landings to meet building rules.
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.
