FAQs – All You Need to Know About Joinery
+
How much does joinery work cost in Aberdeen?
Joinery costs vary depending on the complexity and type of work involved. At Sharpsaw Joinery and Builders in Aberdeen, typical prices include:
Built-in wardrobes from £500
Custom staircases from £3,000
Other bespoke projects - such as fitted furniture, doors, or timber-framed features - are quoted individually based on design, materials, and finish. We always provide clear, upfront pricing and work to your budget without compromising on craftsmanship.
+
What is the difference between carpentry and joinery?
Joinery involves workshop-based wood crafting, such as creating windows, doors, fitted furniture, and staircases.
Carpentry is typically on-site structural work, such as roof framing or timber floor construction.
Sharpsaw offers both joinery and carpentry services - so your project benefits from seamless design and expert installation across all stages.
+
Is a joiner better than a carpenter?
Joiners and carpenters have different specialties. A joiner focuses on crafting wooden items like doors, staircases, and furniture - often in a workshop setting. A carpenter works more on-site, building and assembling structural woodwork. If you need precision, decorative, or built-in wooden features, a skilled joiner is the best choice.
+
Do joiners make doors?
Yes - bespoke internal and external wooden doors are a common part of a joiner’s work. Whether you’re after a modern design, traditional detailing, or made-to-measure doors to suit unique openings, Sharpsaw’s joiners can create and install high-quality, durable doors tailored to your home.
+
Can a joiner fit a kitchen?
Absolutely. Fitting kitchens is a core skill for experienced joiners. At Sharpsaw, our team handles:
Precise cabinet installation
Worktops and finishing trims
Bespoke storage solutions
Custom shelves, panelling, and more
Our joinery expertise ensures your kitchen looks flawless and stands the test of time.
+
What is the strongest type of joinery?
The mortise and tenon joint is one of the strongest and most traditional types of joinery, used for frames and structural wooden features. It offers superior durability and is ideal for staircases, tables, and doors. Sharpsaw uses high-strength joints tailored to the function and aesthetic of each project.
+
What is the weakest joint in carpentry?
The butt joint is the weakest, as it involves simply joining two ends together without reinforcement. While it’s quick and easy, it doesn’t provide lasting strength and is rarely used in quality joinery. We avoid this joint for structural or long-term applications.
+
What is the easiest joinery?
Butt joints and lap joints are the easiest, as they require minimal cutting. However, they’re mostly used for temporary or decorative applications. At Sharpsaw, we prioritise ease, strength, and beauty, using smarter solutions like dowels, biscuits, and tenon joints for superior results.
+
Are dowels as strong as mortise and tenon?
Dowels are strong and commonly used in modern furniture and cabinetry, but the mortise and tenon joint is considered stronger overall, particularly in structural applications. Sharpsaw selects the appropriate joinery method based on strength, design, and use case.
