Perth and Perthshire have a thriving construction and renovation market. Choosing the right joiner makes a significant difference to the outcome of your project. Here are five things to look for.
1. Verifiable Local Experience
Ask how long the firm has been operating locally and whether they can point to finished projects in your area. A joinery business with 15 years of work in Perthshire will have an established reputation worth protecting.
2. Relevant Qualifications
For structural work including staircases, roofing, loft conversions and extensions, it matters that the joiner is properly qualified. Look for SVQ Level 2 or 3 in Joinery and Cabinetmaking and relevant health and safety certifications.
3. Clear Written Quotations
Any reputable joinery firm will provide a clear, itemised written quotation before work begins. Be wary of verbal-only agreements or vague quotes that leave significant costs unspecified.
4. Proper Insurance
All building and joinery contractors should carry public liability insurance. Ask to see proof before work begins.
5. Communication and Professionalism
How a tradesperson communicates before the job starts tells you a great deal about how they will behave once work is underway. Are they responsive? Do they turn up when they say they will for the site survey?
