It is definitely hard getting a tradesman that can perform the work at a time that suits, it really is even harder getting a reliable and tidy tradesman who you'll go back to again and again and recommend to friends and family.
Finding the right joiner or joinery firm can not only improve your home or work space but can help you save money in the long term. A skilled joiner can carry out various tasks around the home or in your office, shop or warehouse, including:
Kitchen installations
Partition walls
Loft conversions
Office or shop fit outs
Decking
Stairs
Garage doors
Flooring
And much more...
Of course you may not need, or think you need a professional joiner for the work. At home you might get away with some DIY but if unskilled or unexperienced it can lead to much larger costs if something goes wrong. A better finish in the home will lead to greater value if you ever go to sell your house, not to mention the improved aesthetics while you are living there. For larger projects a trained joiner will probably have contacts in the trade, not merely saving on material costs with trade discount but may have helpful contacts by means of electricians or plasterers for projects such as home extensions.
Likewise, at work nowadays of lawsuits and health and safety fears and regulation, any work carried out has to be done so by trained and insured professionals. This is why when hiring a joiner or contractor it's important to seek professional qualifications and membership of a trade body such as Safe Contractor. With a Safe Contractor approved joiner you understand that the work completed will be to a high standard and will include public liability insurance - vital for any work done in or around public places or about employees.
Recommendations from the friend are useful, to an extent, however most people will not have the knowledge or have used enough different firms to really have the experience to compare professionals. It is always best to search for or ask for references. A good joiner will have worked on some nice projects and will be able to show you types of their work.
Finally, it is advisable to gain a sense of the timeframe the joiner expects to perform the work in. While you do not want a rushed job, a home or workplace project that drags on for weeks could be a nightmare and if you're running a business can result in greater costs than opting for a potentially more costly but more dedicated options - get a sense of just how much of a priority your project will be and when the joiner expects to handle the work and also have the project completed.
