Carpenters and Carpentry: Timber was very likely among the first materials to be used by mankind that could be adapted and shaped to satisfy his requirements. It is still among the most convenient and invaluable building materials being used in the world today, and with sustainable supplies at the top of the agenda it will continue to be so. Carpenters who are able to form and shape this most workable of materials are specialized tradesmen with a love of their craft. Certainly wood is not only employed as a constructing material but has numerous other applications both decorative and practical.

In order to make your dreams a reality, you should have no problem tracking down a carpenter in Ash, Surrey with the expertise and talent to fit your demands. Nevertheless watch out for "cowboys" and rogue traders who may boast of being carpenters but don't have the ability or knowledge of a professional craftsman (or woman).

Picking up a few fundamental woodworking expertise as pre-apprentices in either cabinet-making or construction carpentry, is the way in which a lot of Ash carpenters start their career. This will be followed by a full carpentry apprenticeship, that may last for five years, after which they will be fully certified carpenters, competent enough to work on any wood related assignment. It is from this phase that they are able to gain the required expertise to become a master-carpenter which will take many years. Somebody at the very top of his trade, a "Master Carpenter" has a wide knowledge of all areas of carpentry, and can take on any timber related task without supervision or help.

Quite a few professional carpenters in the Ash area will have joined the Guild of Master Craftsmen or perhaps affiliated with the Construction Skills Certification Scheme ( mostly for use in the construction and building trades).

Dependant upon the training they've gone through along with the jobs they've held throughout their career, a carpenter will almost certainly have a wide range of skills that they can apply to do projects for you. They will likely be capable of carrying out basic first and second fix carpentry on a building site right up to specialized wood machining, joinery and cabinetmaking tasks. It is not unusual for certain Ash carpenters and joiners to have picked up various other skills during their work experience, so some basic bricklaying or plumbing may well be within their capabilities.

Door Hanging Ash

Of all the many jobs that any Ash carpenter is asked to do, installing or hanging doors is one of the most typical. Although this is definitely a project that a do-it-yourself fanatic may think about doing, chances are it will be a bit too complex for the everyday home handyman, in which case finding a trained carpenter is a good choice. Quite often a homeowner or family member might have already took a stab at hanging a wooden door only to discover that it wasn't such a simple job after all.

Ash Carpenters and Joiners

Now, some of you might perhaps be baffled regarding the actual meaning of the term "carpentry and joinery" or "carpenters and joiners", and to be honest such phrases are a bit misleading. Actually there have been a lot of occasions when I have heard a home owner ask "what exactly is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?" and certainly there are significant differences. Even though from time to time you may run into a tradesman in Ash who truly is a "carpenter and joiner", usually he will be either one or the other. So precisely what is the difference? Well a straightforward reply may be that a carpenter does his work on site, whilst a joiner struts his stuff in a workshop, for example, a joiner will construct a window frame in the joinery workshop utilizing jigs, hand tools and machinery, whilst a carpenter installs the window frame in the building on site. Each sort of tradesman will be aware of a little of the others skillsets though would probably be unable to swap places without doing some extra training. To confuse the issue even more, youngsters thinking of getting carpentry apprenticeships in Ash, are required to take a City and Guilds examination in "Carpentry and Joinery" but may actually be employed as either a carpenter or joiner ie learning their trade in a joinery works or out on a building site.
