About Joiner
Doors, frames, and ironmongery
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.
Common problems and how to avoid them
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.
How long the work usually takes
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.
Questions to ask on the first visit
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.
How to check a joiner before hiring
Ask for 2 or 3 photos of past work that match your job, not just their best piece. A reliable joiner gives a written quote with materials, labour, and finishing listed separately. Confirm they carry public liability insurance, usually at least 1 million, and ask for a start date and finish date in writing before any deposit is paid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
