About Joiner
Materials, finishes, and moisture
Kitchens and bathrooms need moisture-resistant MDF or plywood, not standard MDF, which swells within weeks if it gets wet. Finished faces should be factory-sprayed lacquer rather than hand-painted on site, which marks easily. For shelves longer than 800 mm, ask for 25 mm thickness to prevent sag under books or storage.
Preparing the home before the joiner arrives
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.
How long the work usually takes
Hanging a single internal door with new frame usually takes 3 to 5 hours. A full house of doors, frames and skirting often needs 2 to 4 working days. Built-in wardrobes can take 3 to 5 days depending on size and finish. Stair refurbishment usually spans 4 to 7 days including drying time.
Payment terms and deposits
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.
Typical costs and what changes the price
Bespoke fitted wardrobes usually cost more than off-the-shelf flat-pack, mainly because of labour and finishing time. Price rises with the number of doors, drawers, soft-close mechanisms, and the timber species. Veneered MDF is cheaper than solid oak, but solid wood moves with humidity, so ask which is right for the room.
Floors, stairs, and small repairs
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.
How to check a joiner before hiring
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.
Materials, finishes and moisture
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.
What a joiner does in the home
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.
Common problems and how to avoid them
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.
