Carpenters Oundle

Among the first materials used by humans that could be shaped and customised to fulfill his needs, timber has been a popular material for thousands of years. Even in today's times is still a fundamental material in our everyday life. Those who work with this most versatile of materials are known as carpenters (or joiners), most of whom carry a lifelong appreciation for this natural and unique product. Obviously timber is not only employed as a constructing material but has got countless other uses both decorative and practical.

You will soon find that there are a number of projects around the home that a talented carpenter/joiner can be hired to do. You may need a new wooden floor or roof for your home, a fence or timber structure for your garden, or possibly even a bespoke bedroom created from your carefully laid out plans. Whatever your needs there will be a carpenter in Oundle, Northamptonshire with the ability and expertise that fit your needs, and capable of turning your dream into a reality. Having said that, make certain you hire an experienced carpenter and joiner and steer clear of "cowboys" and rogue traders who could be cheaper but will not do a decent job.

Usually Oundle carpenters (or joiners) kick-start their career in woodworking as pre-apprentices learning either cabinet-making or construction carpentry, gaining a few basic carpentry skills to help them along their way. This will be followed by a full apprenticeship, which will last for 5 years, after which they will become fully certified journeymen, able to work on any wood related task. It is from this stage that they can acquire the necessary expertise to become a master-carpenter which might take many years. A "Master Carpenter" is a person at the pinnacle of his profession, he has a broad knowledge of carpentry techniques and is able to pass on that practical experience to journeyman carpenters working under him.

Many qualified carpenters in the Oundle area will have joined the Guild of Master Craftsmen or maybe registered with the British Woodworking Federation.

The skillsets of Oundle carpenters may vary dependent upon the training that they have gone through and the jobs they have held all through their career. It could be everything from basic first and second fix carpentry on a building site up to advanced cabinetmaking, wood machining and joinery tasks. The more skills they've developed, the broader the range of projects they will be able to do for you. It isn't uncommon for certain Oundle carpenters and joiners to have picked up other skills during their career, so some simple plumbing or bricklaying might be well within their capabilities.

Oundle Carpentry and Joinery

Now, some of you in Oundle may be baffled regarding the meaning of the expression "carpentry and joinery" or "carpenter and joiner", and in fairness such terms are a bit ambiguous. If truth be told there have been many instances when I have heard somebody ask "just what is the difference between a joiner and carpenter?" and naturally there are often substantial differences. Though from time to time you might come across a craftsman in Oundle who genuinely is a "carpenter and joiner", usually he/she will be either one or the other. So what is the difference? Well a short answer might be that a carpenter does his work on site, while a joiner plies his trade in a workshop, for instance, a joiner will build a window frame in a workshop using jigs, machinery and hand tools, while a carpenter will fit the window frame into the window opening on site. Each kind of tradesman understands a little of the others abilities yet would likely be unable to change places without some extra training. To confuse things even more, teenagers attempting to get carpentry apprenticeships in Oundle, Northamptonshire, will find themselves studying for a City and Guilds examination in "Carpentry and Joinery" but will be employed as either one or the other ie working either out on a building site or in a joinery workshop.

Coving Installation Oundle

Do not assume that your chosen Oundle carpenter will only be able to perform woodworking tasks, there will probably be many other jobs around the house that he will be willing to turn his (or her) abilities to. Installing ornamental coving around the walls of your rooms may be one example of the sort of work that he might be capable of doing. You would presume that a plasterer or specialist coving fitter would be the person for this task, but if you have a decent carpenter on site, he'll be just as capable of handling this. Carpenters learn all about complex angles and joints when mastering the art of roofing, consequently the cutting of coving corners and mitres comes as second nature to them. In some situations wood coving is required, so a carpenter and joiner will be precisely the person for the job.

Bespoke Carpentry Oundle

One of the big advantages of hiring a professional carpenter in Oundle is that he or she should be able to undertake custom (bespoke) woodworking projects to breathe life into your ideas. Almost any contrivance or concept that can be created from timber is fair game for the skills of a carpenter with years of experience. Around the home there are many custom projects that a carpenter could help you achieve and a couple of the ideas that you could have in mind might be some superior quality casement, sash or traditional wooden windows, made to measure and crafted with care, a bespoke wooden kitchen crafted to your exact specifications, an attractive custom made wooden staircase which is certain to be the talk of the neighbourhood and make your home look like something out of a magazine or a set of made to measure hardwood doors, expertly fashioned to your required pattern.

Shuttering Carpenter Oundle

If you are engaged in a building project in Oundle where concrete needs to be poured, you'll want a formwork or shuttering structure to hold it in position until it is hard enough to be self-supporting. A carpenter will build a strong wooden shuttering frame as outlined by the project dimensions, which shouldn't bend or flex as the concrete mixture is poured.

Whilst all timber shuttering needs the expertise of a carpenter, not all carpenters in Oundle are suitable to install concrete shuttering. A competent Oundle shuttering carpenter will examine the timber formwork and identify potential problems before any concrete is laid. Their knowledge is more than just skills in carpentry, as they have to know about the stresses and strengths of the shuttering for for all the different concreting scenarios.

Many building companies in the Oundle area will use their own shuttering carpenters, but if you're hiring one independently, make sure they hold the appropriate qualifications (including a CSCS card) and check for memberships of professional trade bodies.

A strategy which you should use with caution, is trying to find carpenters by means of online directories such as Yelp, Yell, Local Life, 118 118, Cyclex, Mister What, Free Index, City Visitor and Thomson Local.

You may wish to take the time to thank somebody who has done a good job, by leaving a review of their workmanship and performance. Both possible future clients and the company itself can benefit from you recounting your personal experience in this way. You might think about how reviews helped you to decide when you were first trying to find somebody to do your woodworking. It does not matter how good a company website may look, without those customer reviews you may well have looked somewhere else.

But how can you really believe in reviews on a carpenter's website? Were they provided by actual customers or by an employee of the company trying to push their services?
