Overview

## What joinery covers, and who it is for

### What the service is
Joinery is the timber work that turns a shell into a finished room: internal and external doors hung and adjusted, skirting boards, architraves and mouldings, first and second fix carpentry, made-to-measure timber pieces, and repairs or alterations to joinery that is already in place. It covers both the structural timber nobody sees and the finishing work everybody notices.

### Who it is for
Homeowners refurbishing a room or a whole house, landlords bringing a property up to a lettable standard, buyers dealing with the joinery a previous owner bodged, and commercial clients who need timber work done without the premises being out of action for a fortnight.

### When it is needed
Typically when doors stick or swing open on their own, when skirtings and architraves have been butchered by previous work, after plastering or flooring has changed floor and wall levels, during an extension or loft conversion, or when a room simply never got finished properly in the first place.

### Why professional help matters
Joinery is unforgiving because the errors are permanent and visible at eye level. A door hung a couple of millimetres out binds on the frame every day for the next decade; a mitre cut at the wrong angle leaves a gap that filler only disguises for one winter. Timber moves with heat and humidity, so allowances have to be designed in rather than discovered later. Nine years on the tools is what tells you where the tolerance goes before the saw comes out.

What it costs to leave it

## What happens when this work is put off
Poor joinery does not stay a cosmetic problem. Timber is the part of a building that reacts fastest to moisture and movement, so small defects widen predictably.

### Doors and frames go from annoying to unusable
A door that catches is being forced every time it is used. Hinges pull, screws loosen in the timber, and eventually the frame itself is damaged, a five-minute adjustment becomes a new lining and a repaint.

### Gaps let draughts and damp in
Open joints around external doors, frames and skirtings are direct routes for cold air and moisture. That shows up on your heating bill first and in the timber second, as swelling, staining and eventually rot.

### Bad finishing devalues good work
You can spend heavily on a new floor, new kitchen or new bathroom and still have the room read as unfinished because the architraves do not meet and the skirting scribes are open. Buyers and valuers notice exactly these details.

### Repairs on top of repairs cost more
Each attempt to patch failing joinery removes more sound timber. Replacing the piece properly the first time is usually cheaper than the third fix.

### Common mistakes we are called in to correct

- Buying doors before measuring the openings, then trimming them past the stiles and rails until they fail
- Filling a gap that is actually telling you the frame is out of plumb
- Fixing skirting and architrave to walls that have not been checked for straightness
- Using internal-grade timber or fixings on anything exposed to weather
- Fitting new joinery onto a floor level that is about to change when the flooring goes down

Our process

## How the job runs from first call to guarantee

01
### Your call and initial questions
You ring 07901 993084 or send the estimate form. We ask enough about the property, the scope and your timescale to know whether the job suits us and when we could realistically start. If it is not work we can do well, we say so at that point rather than after a wasted visit.

02
### Free site visit and measure
We come out and measure the actual space. Site visits are arranged as quickly as the size and complexity of the job allow, and they cost nothing. Measuring on site is what makes a fixed price possible, walls are rarely square, and photographs hide the details that change a price.

03
### Fixed-price quotation in writing
You get a written quotation setting out exactly what is included: the timber, the fixings, the making good, and any work by other trades we would coordinate. Where the scope can be clearly established the price is fixed, so it does not move unless you change what you have asked for.

04
### Joinery carried out and made good
We work in an agreed sequence so you keep use of the property wherever that is practical, protect floors and surfaces, cut outside or with extraction where we can, and make good around every new piece so the decorator has a clean edge to work to.

05
### Handover, tidy-up and 12-month guarantee
We walk the finished work with you, deal with anything you are not happy with there and then, and clear the site. Our workmanship is covered by a 12-month guarantee on issues arising directly from our installation. Full warranty terms are confirmed as part of your quotation.

The benefits

## What you actually get for the money

### Doors that work on day 3,650
Correct clearances, hinges set into sound timber, and allowance for seasonal movement, so the door still swings freely years later.

### Finish you can inspect closely
Tight mitres, scribed internal corners and fixings sunk and filled ready for paint, detail that survives being looked at from a foot away.

### Cost controlled up front
A fixed price where the scope is clear means the budget you agree is the budget you pay, with no discovery charges bolted on mid-job.

### One accountable contractor
Where plastering, electrical or plumbing work is needed alongside the joinery, we bring in qualified tradespeople and coordinate them, so you make one call.

### Property protected while we work
Coverings down, dust controlled, and the site cleared at the end of each working day rather than at the end of the job.

### Guarantee behind the workmanship
12 months on issues arising from our installation, so a problem that is ours to fix is put right at no cost to you.

In detail

## Materials, methods and variations of joinery
Joinery covers a wide span of timber, fixings and methods, and the right combination depends on the room, the exposure and how the piece will be used.

### Materials we work with
Softwood

Redwood and whitewood for skirtings, architraves, studwork and painted joinery. Cost-effective, stable when it has been stored dry, and the standard choice where the finish is paint.

Hardwood

Oak, ash and similar for stair parts, thresholds, worktops and anything staying natural. Harder wearing, heavier, and needs pre-drilling and the right fixings.

Engineered boards

MDF, MRMDF and plywood for panelling, linings and carcassing. Dimensionally stable, takes paint beautifully, and moisture-resistant grades belong anywhere near a kitchen or bathroom.

Fixings and ironmongery

Hinges, locks, handles and fixings chosen for the weight of the door and the substrate behind it, a heavy fire door into a stud wall needs a different answer to a light internal door into masonry.

### Variations of this service
First fix joinery

Studwork, door linings, floor and roof timbers, noggins and grounds, everything that goes in before the plaster.

Second fix joinery

Door hanging, ironmongery, skirting, architrave, window boards, shelving and mouldings, the visible layer, fitted after decoration-ready surfaces exist.

Door hanging and adjustment

New doors into existing frames, existing doors into new openings, and adjustments to doors that have dropped or started to bind.

Mouldings and panelling

Picture rails, dado rails, panelled walls and reproduction profiles to match what is already in a period room.

Repairs and alterations

Splicing sound timber into a damaged frame, replacing rotted sections of external joinery, and altering openings.

### Residential work
In homes the priority is a finish that stands up to daily family use and close inspection, with the work sequenced so you keep bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms usable. Period properties around Glasgow and Cumbernauld frequently have out-of-square openings and original timber worth keeping, which is measured and scribed to rather than forced.

### Commercial work
For commercial premises the constraints shift to durability, fire door requirements and your trading hours. Work is programmed around when the unit is in use, materials are specified for heavier traffic, and other trades are coordinated so the space is handed back on the date you need it.
