Carpenters Dumbarton

A traditionally used material for thousands of years, wood was perhaps one of the first materials to be used by humans that could be changed and molded in order to meet his needs. It's still one of the most invaluable and useful building materials in use today, and with sustainable supplies a number one priority it will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Those people who work with this versatile material are known as carpenters (or joiners), many of whom carry a lifetime's appreciation for this natural and unique product. Wood, of course, has lots of other uses aside from its usefulness as a construction material and such craftsmen as woodcarvers, wood machinists, wood turners, artists take advantage of its practical and decorative qualities.

A professional carpenter may be used for a lot of tasks inside and outside the home. Perhaps you need a replacement timber floor or roof for your property, a fence or timber structure for your back garden, or maybe even a tailor-made kitchen built from your long thought out design. So as to turn your dreams into a reality, you should have no problem tracking down a carpenter in Dumbarton, Scotland having the talent and expertise to fit your requirements. Even so be cautious about rogue traders and "cowboys" who may tell you they are carpenters but just do not possess the ability or knowledge of a certified craftsman (or woman).

Professional carpenters in Dumbarton start their career journey as pre-apprentices in one of two major categories; construction carpentry or cabinet-making, at which time they attain the essential skills to start their career. They'll only become fully accredited carpenters and joiners, able to work on any wood related task, after serving a full four or five year apprenticeship in their chosen branch of the profession (cabinetmaking or construction). They will only become "Master Carpenters" after spending many more years on the job, acquiring further expertise and skills. A "Master Carpenter" is a person at the top of his (or her) profession, he possesses an extensive understanding of carpentry and joinery and is able to pass on that knowledge to anybody working under him (or her).

Among the professional associations that Dumbarton carpenters could be members of are the British Woodworking Federation, the Construction Skills Certification Scheme, the Guild of Master Craftsmen or the Institute of Carpentry. Membership of one or more of these is an illustration that a particular carpenter is capable and serious about his work.

Plasterboarding (Dry Lining)

Dry lining is often needed in home refurbishment projects, and you will find a number of carpenters in Dumbarton who are happy to offer this service. An approach which produces a wall surface that does not have to be plastered, dry lining can be attached to a brickwork surface, a timber studding or joist or a metal frame. Although in certain situations the plasterboard itself may be decorated (with some extra preparation), an extremely fine, hard surface is generated by applying a final skim of finishing plaster. In terms of fittings, when fixing to a metal frame Jack-Point self drilling, self tapping screws are used, when fixing to a brickwork wall the "dot and dab" method is used and when attaching plasterboard to wooden joists or studding, drywall screws or nails are used.

Carpenters and Joiners Dumbarton

Now, a few of you might be baffled with regards to the actual meaning of the phrase "carpentry and joinery" or "carpenters and joiners", and quite frankly such phrases tend to be slightly ambiguous. In fact I've regularly heard a householder ask "exactly what is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?" and without doubt there are often considerable differences. Even though now and again you might run into a tradesman in Dumbarton who truly is a "carpenter and joiner", more often than not he or she will be one or the other. So what is the difference between a carpenter and joiner? Well a straightforward response would be that a joiner plies his trade in a workshop, whilst a carpenter does his work on site, as an illustration, a joiner will put together a window frame in the workshop utilizing jigs, hand tools and machinery, while a carpenter installs the window frame into the structure on site. Each kind of craftsman knows a little about the others techniques although would probably struggle to trade places without doing some additional training. To add even more confusion, youngsters wanting to get a carpentry apprenticeship in Dumbarton, will find themselves sitting a City and Guilds exam in "Carpentry and Joinery" but in fact will be employed as either a joiner or carpenter ie working either on a building site or in a joinery workshop.
