Joinery
Stairs, doors, a media wall, a gate that actually shuts. Oak, painted, or stained. The timber is cut for that house, then hung so the latch meets the keep.
A joiner's site is not a paving site with the words swapped. Each job has its own page, the way a driveway has its own page, because someone searching for a farmhouse door is not searching for a patio.
A straight flight, winders, or a turn on the landing. Oak treads, or pine painted to the hall. The going, the rise, and the headroom are measured before a string is cut. The handrail and the spindles are part of the same job, not a second quote.
Made to the opening. An old house is rarely a standard size, so the door is built or planed to the frame that is already there. Panelled, or a flush door if that is the room. Hinges, latch, and stops fitted before the joiner leaves.
Ledged and braced, or a stable door that opens in two. The boards show on the face. Oak left to weather, or painted in the colour of the house. Glazing in the top if they want light in the hall. Made for that doorway, not picked off a rack.
A door that sticks, or a new leaf into an old frame. Planed to the gap, hinges cut in, the latch lining up with the keep. One visit, the door shuts, and it stays shut through the winter.
A timber wall for the television. The cables go inside. Slats, or a panelled run, in oak, ash, or paint. The shelf for the box is part of the drawing, so the screen sits where they actually watch it.
A wooden gate made to the gap and hung so it swings and latches. Arched top, a pattern in the rails, or a plain ledged gate if that is the garden. Ornate where the front of the house asks for it. Not a fence panel on a pair of hinges.
Timber frames and sashes. A repair where the wood is still sound, or a new window made to the opening. Painted or stained. The glass and the ironmongery named on the quote before the workshop starts.
The finish is chosen before the timber is cut. Paint in the room colour, or a stain that leaves the grain. Done in the workshop where it can dry flat, or on site once the door is hung, if the house is still wet from other trades.
A timber porch on the front door. Posts, roof, and the side lights made for that elevation. Oak or painted softwood. It meets the door that is already there, or the new farmhouse door goes in with it.
The room finished after the doors. A profile that matches what is already on the wall, or a new run in oak. Scribed into the corners. The architrave dies into the skirting, it does not stop short of it.
Width, height, and how far out of square. The timber and the finish are named on the same visit. One figure, on their phone.
The door, the stair, or the gate is made before it comes to the house. The paint or the stain goes on in the workshop, so it arrives ready to hang.
Fitted, the latch tried, the date already in the diary from the signed quote. They have a copy. You have a copy.
Stairs in Chorley. A gate in Leyland. A media wall in Preston. Each of those is its own page on their site, so the search has somewhere to land. The run is the places they actually work. Further out is job by job.
