Joiners work with timber and other materials to make, assemble and fit building components and interior features. They may produce items in a workshop from measured drawings or cut and shape materials on site. Typical work includes making and fitting doors, window frames, staircases, skirting boards, architraves, shelving, cupboards and fitted furniture. Some joiners also install kitchens and internal doors, or adapt existing woodwork to suit a building. Customers may use a joiner for bespoke pieces, alterations, repairs or replacement fittings, as well as for work on new builds and renovations. Services can include taking measurements, advising on suitable materials and finishes, preparing components, fitting them and making adjustments so they work correctly. The scope varies between businesses: some specialise in particular items or workshop production, while others carry out a wider range of installation and building work.
