Joinery Work

The craft of joinery, often confused with carpentry, is a skilled woodworking trade but differs from carpentry in a number of ways.  These differences become especially important when considering who to use for a specific project.  At Kitchen Installation Swansea, we collaborate with both joiners and carpenters and are able to assign the correct tradesman to the task.  Our joiners are expert craftsmen in the art of creating custom furniture and ornamental pieces for your personalised kitchen.  While they typically work in an offsite workshop, they work in close connection with our carpenters and kitchen fitters Swansea who install their creations on site. 

Our Artisans
Though both joiners and carpenters are woodworkers, joiners specialise in smaller and more detailed projects such as furniture, cabinetry, window fixtures and moulding.  Our joiners are an integral part of our kitchen design, who work hard to create the custom pieces that really make a kitchen unique.  Creating a bespoke cupboard or shelves that highlight heirloom pieces like copper pots, or fancy china, good joinery is a detail oriented process that requires listening to the needs of the designs.  In our clients’ kitchens when pieces are purchased ready made, joiners enable us to provide an extra touch that integrates them with the rest of the kitchen. 

Off Site Construction
Though many of our other craftsmen are frequently seen on site our joiners are usually less visible during the construction process. Their trade requires them to employ tools that are often too cumbersome to bring on site.  Accordingly, joiners tend to work in fixed workshops where they can better attend to the details that their craft requires, with the proper equipment.  At Kitchen Installation Swansea, we work with the some of the finest joiners in the region to ensure your satisfaction with the finished project.  In collaboration with our clients needs and designs, the joiners create bespoke pieces that are later installed by the carpenters. 

Products
While there are many products available ready made, having joiners amongst our kitchen installers enables us increase the customisability our clients have on their kitchen installation.  Typically our joiners are involved in smaller projects such as designing moulding and window fixtures, though custom cabinetry is increasingly popular with our clientele.  However, their skills are not limited to fixtures as our joiners also work on furniture projects for our clients, such as tables and seating. We pride ourselves on having some of the finest joinery work in Swansea which allows to pass the value and superior product on to our clients. 

Collaboration with Carpenters
Our joiners are woodworkers that are masters of their craft, and work closely with our carpentry team to install their finished product.  Though there are similarities in the trades, the best example of their differences are, that while a joiner may excel at creating bespoke cabinets, the carpenter may be the one more adept to install them.  After creating the customised pieces for your kitchen, often in an offsite workshop, the joiners collaborate with the carpenters who then come onsite for the installation.  Both are qualified tradesmen who exist harmoniously to optimise the creation of your kitchen.
