Ask for a written guarantee of at least 12 months on workmanship. Timber movement, such as small cracks in solid oak, is natural and usually excluded, so read the small print. Keep the quote, drawings, and material list together; they are useful if the unit ever needs a replacement door or matching shelf.
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.
Ask which timber they recommend and why, whether they will machine it off-site or build on-site, and how they will deal with uneven walls or floors. Request the exact thickness of shelves, the type of hinges, and the finish on handles. Clear answers now prevent expensive changes after the units are already cut.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Loose floorboards can be screwed down and gaps filled with flexible slivers, not rigid filler. Stair nosings should be replaced with like-for-like profile to keep tread depth even. Small repairs under 1 hour often justify a call-out fee rather than a full day rate, so ask the minimum charge before booking.
