The COVID 19 Blog

It’s been a while since the last blog, we have been so busy I haven’t had a chance to sit down and do one, unfortunately. How has everyone been? I hope everyone has been coping ok during these crazy times. We shut down on the 23rd of March after the Scottish Government announcement.

For me its been a great reset after all the hard work we have put in over the last few years. Getting to spend some proper quality family time together and see my son grow has been amazing.

And during this time I have thought about all the Amazing NHS staff working their socks off during this pandemic and not able to be near or see their families.

So what I would like to do as thank you from us is give all NHS staff a discount for all their up and coming projects. All you need to do is tell us when we are looking at your project and show us your ID and we will apply it to our system.

So with the Scottish Government announcement 21/05/2020 its looking like we will be getting back to work soon. During the lockdown, we have been working on our business and doing courses on COVID 19 prevention for keeping customers and our staff safe. We have implemented new procedures for our staff and sub-contractors.

So if you have any home improvements or projects you would like us to quote for you just scroll down to contact us and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

Blog #4

As I lay on the couch with my back recovering ​after it locked up on Friday morning, really slowing down progress on 2 of the jobs we have on at the moment. I thought I would get this blog wrote. 

Kitchen Job ​

We have just completed a full kitchen renovation, it was quite a tricky one due to the constraints of the design, boiler and size of the room. But with the great team we have, we got it done. It consisted of a full rewire,  new plumbing and moving of the main shut off valve to the new sink unit. Once the guys got there work done we levelled the ceiling and put new plasterboard up giving it a beautifully flat ceiling. Then the Plasterer came in and plastered the whole room. We like to get the painter in to paint everything before fitting of the kitchen, it makes his life easier which gives us a better finish.

I am well chuffed on the outcome of the kitchen as it's a great transformation  

​Bathroom 

On the same job, we are renovating the bathroom also and it's looking great we have the vanity unit worktop to fit and some siliconing ​to be done will post finished photos next blog.

En-suite ​

We are also working on an en-suite for a previous customer, this also is looking great. Photos of the finish to follow. 

Tv unit  

We also got the tv unit fitted this week. Glad to have this finished. We had some issues with the paint we used for the first time as a recommended product but we just had so many issues with it and caused serious delays.

We won't let anything below our high standards leave the Workshop, we finally got the finish we wanted and well pleased with the result and the customers were over the moon with the finished unit 

Thanks for taking the time to read our blog. If you would share our work it would be much appreciated 

Thanks Rob

Well well, it's been a busy few weeks at Rcc Joinery.

We have finish 2 jobs recently for Brodies Timber in Dunkeld and one for Dundee City Council.

Job one for Brodies Timber was a massive sectional floating ramp dock. the other job was on a previous job, the curved handrail that job had 2 more handrails to be fixed due to bad workmanship by the previous trades. We needed to dissembled the handrail and fix the newel posts correctly.

It was great to see the Curved handrail all stained and carpet fitted, photos to follow on that

The Dundee City Council project was to supply and fit Iroko timber to a bench on the Perth Road in Dundee. The bench actually spells out "Perth Road". Photos of the timber in Blog #2
