Joinery & carpentry services

Internal doors, door frames and fire-door fitting

A joiner can hang new door leaves, repair or replace linings, fit hinges and handles and adjust sticking doors. Order only after each opening has been measured and the selected door's adjustment limits checked. Where fire resistance is required, ask for a compatible specified installation rather than treating it as ordinary door hanging.

Before choosing doors, our internal door replacement guide explains measurements, floor clearances, hardware and fire-safety questions.

Fitted wardrobes, alcove cupboards and bespoke shelving

Made-to-measure furniture should fit both the space and its contents. Plan hanging depth, shelf loads, drawer access and obstructions before selecting the frontage. Awkward walls can be finished with scribed fillers; sloping ceilings need depth measurements as well as height. Any services behind the furniture must remain accessible as required.

Skirting, architraves and stair joinery

New trims finish the room after wall and floor work, but matching profiles and awkward corners need careful measuring. Specify removal, fitting and decorating separately. Staircase repairs require sound connections; changes to the structure or geometry need an appropriately assessed design rather than a cosmetic repair brief.

How a joinery job is measured, made and fitted

Start with photographs, dimensions and a clear scope. A straightforward adjustment may be discussed from photos; bespoke storage or irregular openings usually need a survey. Agree drawings, materials, hardware and finish in writing. The joiner prepares the area, checks suitable fixing backgrounds, cuts and scribes the work, then assembles and adjusts it before checking operation and agreed care instructions.

What affects joinery prices?

Design and workshop time, material grade, size, hardware, finish, access and removal all affect the total. A fitting-only door price cannot fairly be compared with supply, new frames, ironmongery and painting. Ask for the written total, VAT treatment and exclusions. We do not invent local price tables; the matched joiner confirms a price for the actual job.
