Fabriq Ltd

Carpenters and Joiners

31 March 2020

“I cannot recommend Gregory and Fabriq enough. I had spent months pouring over the plans and there were a couple of details in the architectural design I was nervous wouldn’t work or would be impractical. However Gregory and his team achieved them all and we have a beautiful and beautifully functioning kitchen. The details are amazing right down to brass kegs on our kitchen island and the brass feet in our larder cupboard. The team at Fabriq takes great pride in their work and will keep working until the job is perfect.”

Mark has completed a number of projects on our house renovation including wood work on kitchen roof replacement, beautiful designed staircase, he has built door frames. doors, garden gates, put a wonderful kitchen into our property,etc. All his finish has been superb! Highly recommend him, such a nice guy as well.”

Thorsen Joinery

Carpenters and Joiners

15 November 2016

“I found Klaus Thorsen through various local web sites with high recommendation. I needed some special shelving units and cupboards to be built in my study. The space was complex due to it being in a loft extension and my requirements were very specific. Klaus took my very rough drawings and measured up perfectly to adapt this to the actual space. The quality of his work was perfect and I am delighted with the result. As important was his attitude, which including being punctual almost to the second, being excellent to work with, ensuring not a speck of dust remained after he had finished and keeping perfectly to schedule. Indeed the only problem is that Klaus is booked up for several months in advance!! I would HIGHLY recommend him”

What is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?

A carpenter is a professional who would typically carry out all wood work on site whereas a joiner will create and build bespoke pieces in a workshop which has all the heavy machinery needed. A joiner would make and create all the pieces that a carpenter would then assemble and fix on site.

A joiner would ‘join’ wood and would be able to create doors, windows, shelving and cupboards just to name a few things. Once the joiner has built the product, a carpenter would construct it at the property. In general, there is a lot of crossover between what a joiner and carpenter does so can be considered as two different specialisms within the same craft. Although there is a broad distinction between the two crafts, there are also exceptions. Some joiners will be involved in finishing and fitting certain pieces of bespoke joinery such as skirting boards and architraves, and many professionals work as both joiners and carpenters.

How do you know if you need a carpenter or a joiner?

When it comes to knowing whether you should hire a carpenter or joiner, it is important to take into account what work you will need doing as some jobs a carpenter can do but for more specialised projects, you will need to hire a joiner.

If your idea is to have something completely unique designed and made from wood, you will most likely need to hire a joiner for that. It may also be the case that you would need a carpenter to install it once it is made. Larger professional firms often employ both carpenters and joiners so that when you hire them, you will be matched with the suitable person for your project.

Where can I find a good carpenter or joiner?

On Houzz there are many professional carpenters and joiners that specialise in providing a full carpentry service or bespoke joinery, whether dealing with fitted or freestanding, traditional or contemporary furniture. Simply search for a joiner or carpenter in the Find Pros category, then add images of designs that you like to an Ideabook and contact those on your shortlist. If you need reassurance beyond photos of their work and reviews of previous clients, then you might check to see if the carpenter or joiner is a member of The Institute of Carpenters (IOC), The Guild of Master Craftsmen, the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) or the Federation of Master Builders (FMB). Each asks its members to meet a certain level of expertise and abide by a code of conduct. Have a face-to-face consultation – basic brief and image references in hand – see which joiner or carpenter is the easiest to get along with and who best understands what you’re trying to achieve.
