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 Aberdour
Aberdour is a picturesque coastal village in south-west Fife, known for its Silver Sands beach - one of the few in Scotland to regularly hold a Blue Flag award.
Aberdour Castle, dating from the 12th century, stands in the village centre surrounded by terraced gardens and a medieval dovecot and is one of the oldest standing castles in Scotland.
The village has a pretty harbour, a golf course and a cluster of independent shops and cafés that give it a genteel, well-kept character.
Aberdour has a rail station on the Fife Circle line, making Edinburgh easily accessible and the village is a popular starting point for walks along the Fife Coastal Path.
About Fife
(opens in new tab)Fife is a large peninsula in eastern Scotland, bounded by the Firth of Forth to the south and the Firth of Tay to the north - a geography that has given it a distinct identity and earned it the traditional title of 'The Kingdom of Fife'.
Dunfermline is the largest settlement and a former capital of Scotland, granted city status in 2022, while Glenrothes serves as the administrative centre and St Andrews is known worldwide as the home of golf and Scotland's oldest university.
The south-west of Fife has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining and shipbuilding shaped towns like Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Rosyth - while the East Neuk coastline is defined by a string of picturesque fishing villages: Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem and St Monans.
Inland, the Howe of Fife is fertile agricultural land dotted with market towns like Cupar, Auchtermuchty and Falkland, the last of these home to a beautifully preserved Renaissance palace.
Fife is well connected to Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing and to Dundee via the Tay Road Bridge, making much of the region practical for commuters while retaining a strong sense of local identity.
