Joinery and Carpentry

Joinery is an ancient craft that has been practised over centuries and was introduced to the European continent during the Middle Ages. It involves joining pieces of wood together to build furniture and other items, generally more delicate and decorative than that done by a carpenter.

Until the 12th century, joinery and carpentry were considered to be the same craft. Over time, by using relatively simple tools such as axes, saws and chisels, skilled craftsmen made increasingly sophisticated and elaborate products, and the trade started to divide into two different crafts. In France, for example, the two were being referred to as standard joinery and artistic joinery. In the UK, the two trades started to be known as bench joinery and site carpentry and joinery. A bench joiner would design and manufacture the components of the product in his workshop, while a site carpenter would then install them on the site.

Eventually, many carpenters shifted their focus to fabricating and installing timber structures during the construction of townhouses, churches, ships and timber bridges.

At the same time, joiners continued to specialise, with some of them focusing on making decorative cabinets. These craftsmen later became known as cabinet makers.

Joiners and carpenters in London are still as sought after as they were centuries ago. They can produce and install items such as interior and exterior doors, stairs, tables, bookcases, cabinets and other furniture. Skilled craftsmen can save you space in your home by building made to measure staircases, fitted wardrobes and other large furniture items custom designed especially for your home.

Paint or Wallpaper

The most common type of home renovation project is refreshing your rooms by painting or wallpapering the walls. But which one is more suitable for your home? Painting is by far the more popular choice, as it is usually cheaper and less consuming. Also, many people think that wallpaper is out of fashion. But, it has recently made a comeback with the invention of non-woven backing, which makes applying it much easier. Modern wallcoverings are diverse, and despite still being referred to as wallpaper, they don't necessarily have to be made from paper. Instead, most wall covering nowadays consist of vinyl or textured fabric, both natural and synthetic, which can give your room a whole new dimension. If you still cannot decide between paint and wallpaper, why not combine the two. Many home-owners and tenants nowadays opt to have one wall in each room wallpapered while painting the rest of the room white, cream. You could go for subtle contrast and choose wallpaper in light colours such as light grey or beige, or you could go for a more contrasting look and get a dark blue, brown or dark grey wall coverings.
