I'm thinking of getting a wall or two knocked down to make my kitchen bigger. Would this be something I'd need to get a builder or a joiner round for?
Thanks

    a joiner is a carpenter, why would you think he can remove walls & make the house safe if it needs steels installed ?

    Shall call a builder then. Suspect I'm not alone in not being entirely sure of what joiners do BTW....

    what's the difference between a carpenter and a joiner? Not being facetious, it's something I've often wondered about.

    In North-East England carpenters dont exist. They are all joiners. 1st & 2nd fix, shop fitting, shuttering, Bench etc.....

    it you want it done right a reputable recommended builder.

    a joiner would be good for stairs, windows etc.
