Carpenters Liphook

One of the first materials to be used by man that could be shaped and modified to meet his requirements, wood has been a much loved building material for thousands of years. Even nowadays is still a crucial material in our everyday life. Carpenters who can fashion and shape this most responsive of materials are professional artisans with a lifelong passion for their work. Timber, of course, has got lots of other applications aside from its function as a building material and such craftsmen as cabinetmakers, wood machinists, woodcarvers, woodturners make use of its decorative and practical qualities.

A qualified carpenter may be used for several chores inside and outside your house. Maybe you have decided on erecting a wooden building or fence for your back garden or perhaps you may be wanting a bespoke kitchen created from your plans, or even a replacement timber floor or roof for your property. There will be a carpenter in Liphook, Hampshire having the expertise and ability that satisfy your needs, and capable of turning your dream into a reality, no matter what your exact needs are. Of course you have to be wary of "handyman" type individuals who claim to be carpenters but don't have the qualifications or knowledge of a proper carpenter.

Acquiring some fundamental woodworking knowledge as pre-apprentices in either cabinet-making or construction carpentry, is the way in which most Liphook carpenters (or joiners) start their career journey. They will only be regarded as fully accredited carpenters, able to work on any woodworking related assignment, after serving a full five year apprenticeship in their preferred area of the profession (cabinetmaking or construction). They will only become what are often known as "Master Carpenters" after spending many more years in the workplace, developing even more expertise and skills. Fully able to take on any timber related job without supervision or help, a "Master Carpenter" is at the very top of his profession, but may advance further to becoming a site supervisor or site agent on small to medium construction projects.

Most specialist carpenters in the Liphook area will have become members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen or with the Construction Skills Certification Scheme ( mostly used in the construction and building trades).

Dependant upon the training they've undergone and the jobs they've held during their career, a carpenter will almost certainly have a wide range of skills they can use to accomplish tasks for you. They'll most likely be capable of carrying out basic 1st and 2nd fix building site carpentry up to elaborate wood machining, cabinetmaking and joinery projects. Certain Liphook carpenters and joiners could have also acquired other skills along the way, so may be able to do some simple bricklaying or plumbing for example.

Furniture Repair Liphook

The mending of wood furniture and other things is also a facet of the professional carpenter's remit. Gouges and scratches in table tops that cannot be eradicated by polishing can be mended so that the original damage can't be noticed. There are a lot of jobs a carpenter/joiner can accomplish which are often outside the competency of an typical DIY person, for instance restoring barge boards and soffits, replacing window and door locks and fixing faulty sash windows. Instead of getting yourself in a dither by attempting tasks that are out of your comfort zone, fetching in a professional will be much easier!

Carpentry and Joinery Liphook

Now, many of you may perhaps be baffled regarding the actual meaning of the phrase "carpenters and joiners" or "carpentry and joinery", and in all honesty such phrases tend to be a little ambiguous. In fact there've been many instances over the years when I've heard a home owner ask "what are the differences between a carpenter and joiner?" and certainly there are often significant differences. Even though from time to time you'll meet a craftsman in Liphook who truly is a "carpenter and joiner", usually he'll be either one or the other. So what the heck is the difference? Well a short reply may be that a carpenter normally works on site, whilst a joiner does his stuff in a workshop environment, to illustrate, a joiner constructs a window frame in a joinery workshop employing hand tools, machinery and jigs, while a carpenter will fit the window frame into the building on site. Each kind of craftsman will know some of the others skills and yet would possibly not be able to trade places without doing some additional training. To confuse things even more, teenagers considering getting carpentry apprenticeships in Liphook, Hampshire, are required to pass a City and Guilds exam in "Carpentry and Joinery" but will actually be employed as one or the other ie learning their trade in a joinery workshop or on site.

Shuttering Carpenter Liphook

If you're engaged in a building project in Liphook where you need to pour concrete, you will want a formwork or shuttering structure to hold it in position until it is hard. A shuttering carpenter will construct a robust wooden framework in accordance with the required measurements, which should not flex or bend as the concrete is poured.

Timber formwork requires the skills of a specially trained shuttering carpenter. It's the knowledge to spot any potential problem areas before, and in the course of the concrete pouring, that makes a shuttering carpenter an essential part of any concreting project in Liphook. They will also have considerable experience and knowledge of the concrete pouring process, in order to provide a quality project from start to finish.

Some building companies in the Liphook area will use their own shuttering carpenters, however if you're hiring one independently, make sure that they hold the relevant qualifications (including a health and safety certification) and check any professional trade body memberships.

Coving Installation Liphook

Your preferred Liphook carpenter may also be competent enough to assist you by doing a few tasks around your home which you might have thought would involve another sort of tradesman. One such activity could be the installation of ornamental coving (a difficult job for many), which a carpenter should be well equipped to achieve. While most householders would usually be trying to hire a plasterer in Liphook or a specialist coving fitter, if you have a word with your local carpenter, he or she will likely be glad to help you, and will possess the right tools and gear for completing the task. Carpenters learn all about complex joints and angles when studying the art of roofing, consequently the cutting of coving corners comes naturally to them. In some instances solid wood coving is needed, so a carpenter and joiner will be exactly the individual for the job.

Bespoke Carpentry Liphook

One of the big advantages of hiring a seasoned carpenter in Liphook is that he or she will have the ability to take on custom (bespoke) woodworking projects to bring your ideas to life. Pretty much any conception or object which can be built from wood is a pushover for the capabilities of a carpenter who knows his stuff. There are a whole host of bespoke projects that a carpenter could help you achieve around the home which could maybe include a bespoke fitted kitchen lovingly crafted to your precise design, a set of tailor made hardwood doors, adeptly fashioned to your requested pattern, some superior quality sliding sash, casement or traditional timber windows, designed with care and made to measure or an attractive bespoke staircase that's guaranteed to be the talk of the neighbourhood and make your house look out of this world.

Plasterboarding (Dry Lining)

There are a few home renovation assignments that will need dry lining (plasterboarding) to be done, and a few Liphook carpenters should be able to do this for you. By affixing plasterboard to a timber studding or joist, a brickwork surface or metal framing, a surface is created which doesn't have to be plastered. While you could decorate the plasterboard surface itself after a bit of filling, usually most opt to get the plasterboard skimmed with a fine coat of plaster afterwards to give it that extra special, smooth finish. As for fittings, when fixing to a metal framework self-tapping (or Jack-Point screws) are used, when fixing to a brick or masonry wall "dot and dab" drywall adhesive is used and when attaching plasterboard to wood joists or studding, drywall screws or nails are used.
