Joinery and Carpentry in Johnstone
Cunningham builds (joinery), a building and joinery business based in Port Glasgow, covers joinery and carpentry joinery in Bishopton 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 joinery can be made to fit a Johnstone home?
Broadly, a joiner makes the pieces and a carpenter installs them, though most do both. Fitted units, stairs, doors and windows are joinery work; roof timbers, floors and partitions are carpentry.
Cunningham builds (joinery) combines building with joinery and carpentry. 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 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 addition is where most open kitchens come from, 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 makes a timber floor last?
A hardwood floor lasts or fails on what is underneath it. 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.
Hardwood flooring from Cunningham builds (joinery) is laid by people who know timber, finished with sanding and sealing. Herringbone is one of the patterns on offer.
