History and Development
The craft of joinery and carpentry has long been integral to the development of Torwood and the surrounding Larbert area. Historically, these trades were essential in building local homes, farms, and infrastructure, where wood was a primary material. Torwood’s proximity to Falkirk, a more industrially developed area, meant that skilled craftsmen in the village often contributed to larger projects while also focusing on the needs of their local community.
Modern-Day Joiners and Carpenters
Today, joiners and carpenters in Torwood and Larbert offer a wide range of services, from traditional woodworking to more contemporary design and construction. They handle everything from bespoke furniture to large-scale renovations, working on both residential and commercial projects. Joiners are skilled in crafting items such as doors, windows, and staircases, while carpenters focus more on structural woodwork, including roofing, flooring, and frameworks.
