Quick answer

What does a joiner do, and how is that different from a carpenter?

A joiner makes timber components — doors, staircases, windows, fitted furniture — traditionally in a workshop, then fits them on site. Typical work runs £200–£800. The old distinction is that the joiner joins timber at the bench and the carpenter fixes it in place on site; in practice many tradespeople do both, so ask which half of the work they actually do daily.

Joiner workmanship in Ipswich

Joiner terms explained — Ipswich glossary

Bench Joinery(Bench work)
Timber components made to measure in a workshop — staircases, sash windows, panelled doors, fitted units. It is what distinguishes a joiner from a fitter, and it is why lead times matter more than day rates on bespoke work.
FD30 Fire Door(FD30)
A door assembly rated to resist fire for 30 minutes, required on certain openings in loft conversions and flats. The rating belongs to the whole assembly — door, frame, intumescent strips, hinges and closer — so fitting a rated leaf into an unrated frame achieves nothing.
Second Fix(2nd fix)
The finishing stage after plastering — hanging doors, architraves, skirtings, ironmongery. It is the work that is visible and judged, and the stage where a joiner’s hand shows against a general builder’s.
Scribing
Cutting a component to follow an uneven wall or floor rather than relying on filler. In an older house with no straight surfaces it is the difference between fitted furniture that looks built-in and fitted furniture that looks bought.
