The service

## What it is and why it matters
Joinery covers the timber work inside a house: first fix (stud walls, floor joists, door linings, roof timbers) and second fix (doors, skirtings, architraves, stairs, panelling, shelving and fitted furniture).

### Why professional help matters
Joinery is what you see and touch every day. Gaps at mitres, doors that catch, or skirting that follows a wavy wall are noticed for years. Good joinery takes time to set out and scribe properly.

### Who it&#x27;s for
Homeowners making changes, people renovating a newly bought house, and anyone who wants the timber details in a room to look crisp.

### When you need it
When you&#x27;re changing a layout, replacing tired doors and skirtings, adding panelling, or need a stair, bannister or boxing-in done neatly.

Getting it wrong

## What happens when it&#x27;s done badly
Poor joinery rarely fails dramatically, but it wears on you and often costs more to put right.

### Doors that stick or swing open
Linings fitted out of plumb mean doors that never close properly.

### Open joints and cracked caulk
Mitres that aren&#x27;t cut tight open as timber moves, and filler cracks.

### Squeaky floors and loose stairs
Poorly fixed boards and treads get noisier with use.

### Paying twice
Cheap trim usually has to be removed, with damage to plaster, before it can be redone.

### Common mistakes we see

- -Using thin MDF skirting that dents and swells easily.
- -Not allowing timber to acclimatise before fitting.
- -Fitting trim before floors are laid, leaving gaps.
- -Filling gaps with caulk instead of scribing to the wall.
