Joiners West Lothian
A joiner is a type of a carpenter that cuts and fits joints in wood without the use of nails, screws, or other metal fasteners. Joiners usually work in a workshop since the formation of various joints generally requires non-portable machinery. A carpenter normally works on site. Cabinet makers who specialise in manufacturing furniture are regarded as producing fine joinery.

Site Carpentry and Joinery focuses on the setting out and fabrication of timber elements of construction and installation of the joinery components. On site the carpentry can be roughly designated to the timber work installed before the plasterer does his work and joinery can be seen as that timber work installed or fitted after.
