About Joiners
A joiner works with timber - fitting doors, windows, staircases, skirting boards, and built-in furniture.
In Scotland the term joiner covers much of what English tradespeople would call a carpenter.
Look for someone who can show previous work and comes recommended locally - quality joinery is obvious, and so is poor joinery.
About Larbert
Larbert is a town immediately north-east of Falkirk, best known today as the site of Forth Valley Royal Hospital, the main acute hospital serving the Falkirk and Stirling areas.
The old village core dates back centuries and retains some attractive stone buildings around the church and cross, though much of the surrounding area is modern residential development.
Larbert House, a listed building with grounds now largely absorbed into the hospital campus, was historically the principal estate in the area.
The town has a railway station on the main Edinburgh to Stirling line, making it a practical base for commuters, and sits close to the M876 and M9 motorways.

About Falkirk
Falkirk is a council area in the heart of Scotland's central belt, sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow with the Firth of Forth to the north and the foothills of the Campsie Fells to the west.
The town of Falkirk is the administrative centre and largest settlement, but the area also takes in Grangemouth — Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and one of its busiest ports — along with the historic burgh of Bo'ness on the Forth shoreline and a string of smaller towns and villages.
Falkirk's history runs deep: two of the most significant battles in the Wars of Independence were fought here, and the Antonine Wall — the Roman Empire's north-western frontier — crosses the district and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The area has reinvented itself around modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies, two 30-metre steel horse-head sculptures at the Helix park, draw visitors from around the world.
Transport links are excellent — the M9 and M876 connect Falkirk to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, and two railway lines serve the area — making it one of the most accessible and affordable parts of the central belt.
