Craftsmanship, skill and a long history make carpentry a fascinating trade
Carpentry is one of the oldest skilled trades and has evolved significantly over the centuries. It’s still almost universally used in the construction industry. In fact, it’s the trade within the building sector that covers more facets than any other. It involves the cutting, shaping and installation of wood for buildings. It takes skill, craftsmanship and experience to become a good carpenter. What might look like a pretty straightforward trade contains lots of different specialisms to which skilled tradesmen can devote a lifetime.
Carpenters often specialise in just a few areas to enable them to hone and perfect their skills. Construction carpentry involves residential carpentry, commercial carpentry and industrial carpentry. A carpenter might take care of roofing, formwork and structural joinery. A joister, as the name suggests, will lay floor joists. Trims, mouldings, mantles and skirting boards are taken care of by a trim carpenter. Roofers specialise in beams, rafters and roof trusses. Framers take care of the wooden frames of buildings.
There has also been more focus on ‘green carpentry’ in the industry, using only environmentally friendly materials and putting carpenters at the forefront of the shift towards more sustainable buildings.

Skirting
Skirting is the board that runs along the border between the interior wall and the floor. It provides the flooring with a good finish and also prevents scratches from any furniture or day to day wear and tear. There are several types of skirting like wooden, pencil, metal, and double-layered skirting. Skirting can also be used in hiding exposed electrical wiring.
Beading
Beading is a woodwork treatment applied to different wooden furniture or boxes to soften the edge and prevent splitting. For any business-owner, this is an important craft that should be considered in construction, at N Harris we’ve got you covered.
Ceiling and floor joists
Ceiling joists are found between the top floor and attic of the house. They are mainly constructed in story buildings while floor joists are what make up the frame of the floor. The primary role of the ceiling joists is to provide support for drywall on their undersides. They are smaller and are not as heavy as the floor joists.
It’s not just the cosmetic and visible carpentry either, we’ve taken care of structural carpentry on hundreds of projects across the West Midlands. Ceiling joists, floor joists and roofs all over Birmingham and beyond have been constructed and maintained by carpenters from N Harris & Co.
