Fitted Woodwork for Johnstone Homes
Cunningham builds (joinery), a building and joinery business based in Port Glasgow, covers joinery and carpentry in Johnstone and the surrounding areas. Traditionally a joiner makes doors, windows, stairs and fitted furniture and a carpenter fixes structural timber in place, though in practice most do both.
What is the difference between joinery and carpentry?
Joinery is the making and carpentry the fitting, and in Scotland one person usually does both. Fitted units, stairs, doors and windows are joinery work; floors, roofs and stud walls on the carpentry side.
Joinery is in the name: Cunningham builds (joinery) offers building and joinery services side by side. Door fitting, custom units and repairs to existing woodwork are all part of it.
What does bespoke carpentry mean?
It means woodwork made to measure for one space rather than bought off loft conversions in Erskine the shelf: fitted wardrobes, alcove units, stairs or doors built to the actual dimensions of the room. The advantage is fit, because old walls are rarely square and made to measure work follows them.
How do you choose between the types of extension?
Cunningham builds (joinery) builds single storey, double storey and wrap-around extensions. A single storey rear extension is the usual way to open up a kitchen, and going up a storey doubles the space on the same ground.
A wrap-around combines the side and the rear, which suits corner and end plots. The right answer depends on the plot, the neighbours and what the room is for.
What are the three types of carpentry?
A common split is rough or structural carpentry, finish carpentry, and joinery or cabinet making. In UK site terms that roughly maps to first fix, second fix and bench joinery. Roofs, floors and stud walls are first fix; doors, skirtings and architraves are second fix.
What goes into laying a hardwood floor properly?
The subfloor decides the life of a timber floor. The base needs to be flat, sound and dry, and a concrete slab has to be tested for moisture first. Seasonal movement is normal, and the gap at the walls is what allows for it.
Cunningham builds (joinery) installs hardwood flooring with carpentry experience behind it, then sanded, sealed and finished. Herringbone is one of the patterns on offer.
