Joiners and cabinet makers are branches of the woodworking craft, skilled in working with timbers, laminates and other modern materials for fittings throughout the home. The modern bathroom often requires extensive cabinetry and storage, including the installation of shelving, vanities and cupboards. Adequate storage will help ensure your bathroom is kept free of clutter, which also makes keeping it clean that much easier.

Primary functions of a joiner include:

• selection of timber product for project in consultation with client
• marking, cutting and shaping material based on dimensions and plans
• install various components and elements of the furniture item being constructed
• fitting of fixtures and accessories, including locks, hinges, drawers and shelving

Planning is an essential element of your bathroom project. Ensure you consult the following guidelines beforehand:

• Plan - consult your joiner or cabinetmaker beforehand to plan a practical and functional layout for your bathroom
• Storage - adequate storage for your bathroom should be a priority
• Lighting - bathrooms require adequate lighting, so plan accordingly
• Floors - practical, durable and safe flooring is an important consideration
• Theme - coordinate your fittings, if possible sourcing everything from the same brand, to create a flawless theme
• Plumbing - ensure any plumbing in the bathroom is carried out by an accredited and licensed plumber or green plumber
