    A few question re our joiners recent work.....

    on site a joiner wouldnt be expected to caulk and fill, were not even expected to tidy up, thats what decorators and labourers are for, but if its a domestic type job they should tidy up, but only fill and caulk if theyve said they would, or its in the price.
