Joinery

In the house.

The van is at the door. The doors are hung in the rooms. The skirting goes on the walls. The stair rail goes up in the hallway.

A normal day is in the house. On your site, the pictures are yours.

Hanging doors

This is the day. The doors go on in the rooms, indoors. Planed to the gap, hinges cut in, the latch on the keep. One visit. The door shuts, and it stays shut.

Skirting and architrave

The boards go on in the house. Along the floor, around the bay, through the passage, into the bedroom. Returns on the ends. Scribed into the corner. The architrave sits on the door in the same line as the skirting.

Stair rail

The rail goes up in the hallway. Handrail, spindles, and the newel, fitted on the flight in the house.

Oak

The grain stays on show. A flight with a heavy newel, a studded door, boards left to weather on an outside wall.

Painted pine

White on a sash, or on the casements across a house. The same window, seen from the room.

Stained softwood

A stain that leaves the grain, on the door that gets hung.

Internal doors

Glazed, or ledged and braced. The thickness, the swing, and the latch are on the drawing before the leaf is made.

Farmhouse doors

A ledged and braced door, or a studded oak leaf. The porch, when there is one, is posts and a roof on that same doorway. It has to shut in the weather, not only look like a cottage.

Fire doors

An office corridor and a stair in a block are not a hallway at home. Vision panels, a closer, a timber leaf that still looks like the rest of the building. The rating is named on the quote.

Media walls

Vertical timber boards. The screen and the cables sit in a wall like this. The shelf for the box is part of the drawing, so nothing is stuck on afterwards.

Garden gates

A chevron garden gate, hung so it meets the post. Arched, patterned, or plain ledged if that is the garden. Timber, not a steel lookalike.

Windows

Sash or casement, painted. One sash open on a brick wall, the same kind of window from inside the room, and a row of casements on a cottage.

Paint and stain

The finish is already on the timber when it goes on the wall.

How a job gets made

The doors

Hung in the rooms. Planed to the gap, hinges cut in, the latch on the keep.

The skirting

Along the floor, returns on the ends, scribed in the corner. Architrave on the opening.

The stair rail

Handrail, spindles, and the newel, up in the hallway.
