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  

Our First Blog

Well here it is our first blog 🙈 wish me luck. With the launch of our website a few weeks back I thought I would give a blog a go to keep everyone updated with our projects. You also might have noticed we have had a bit of a rebrand. 

The new logo

 Why the rebrand?

Well back in 2014 when RCC Joinery was started we needed a logo for the van and business cards. After speaking with Dundee based website/logo designers they were well out of our reach especially after getting a van and essential tools to carry out customers jobs. 

We decide to make our own on one of them design your own logo websites. They are pretty good but very basic as you have to pick certain templates then go from there. We picked the one we liked and went it. 

Why the change? 

I always felt it didn’t portray our work and it is a badly made logo as there are extra lines in the roof which looked very weird once blown up and put on the side of the van. I feel the new logo looks and portrays what we do better than a roof.  

What we do. 

Well we are a Bespoke Joinery company based in Dundee Scotland. We work on residential and commercial projects from design to production in our workshop. We also work closely with RDO Joinery in Blairgowrie and Brodies Timber Dunkeld. 

If you have gotten this far thanks for taking the time reading the blog and bearing with me on my bad grammar and spelling 🙈 . Hopefully get the next blog up soon going to try for once a month  

Thanks Robert
