What does a carpenter do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home, or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters take on a wide range of work, such as fixing areas of houses and building furniture from scratch.

Carpentry work is generally broken down into two types: rough and finish. Rough carpentry refers to work that doesn’t have an intricate look, as it’s covered up – often by bricks, tiles, or plasterwork. Finish carpentry covers the work that will be on display, so needs to have a nicer finish. Furniture, decking, and window frames all fall into this second category. 

Decking

Don't know what to do with all that space in your backyard? Hire a carpenter who specialises in building decks. A decking specialist can add an outdoor deck or upgrade an existing one that opens up your outdoor space. This is great if you want to entertain guests or eat outside as a family during the sunny months. 

Cabinet making

Cabinetmakers are one example of finish carpentry, because of the high level of detail that goes into their end products. Unlike structural work, it’s important that a cabinet looks nice, so this type of carpenter is a lot more focused on fine details. Cabinetmakers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too. 

Refinishing carpentry

While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at the small end. A trim carpenter is the way to go if you want someone to fix up your skirting boards, cornicing, or a similar aspect of your home.

Custom made furniture

A house isn’t a home without a few personal touches, and if you’d rather avoid the cookie-cutter Ikea approach to decorating your property, hiring a carpenter to create custom-made furniture can make you stand out. Whether you want chairs, tables, or a shoe rack, there’s someone nearby who can help.

Joinery

Joinery services encompass the craftsmanship of creating and joining wood in workshops, distinct from on-site carpentry. These services range from bespoke projects to crafting timber buildings, emphasizing precision and passion. Joiners play a crucial role in interior woodwork, window and door production, and specialized construction, offering tailored and quality timber solutions.

Hi, we are currently moving house and need someone experienced with IKEA PAX wardrobes. Our wardrobes are 236cm tall, but the ceiling in our new flat is only 230cm high. We need someone to disassemble the wardrobes, cut approximately 10cm off the top of the frames, at the old flat and use transportation of their own to transport the wardrobes (30/40min drive) and then securely refit everything, and reassemble the wardrobes in the new property. This is a specific modification, so we need someone with experience in carpentry or customising IKEA PAX wardrobes. Please let me know if this is something you can do. Thank you!

Iroko wooden kitchen worktop fitting

£500

Crouch End, Greater London, N8

18th Aug 2026

I am fitting a new kitchen and I need the worktops to be fitted. They are made of Iroko wood and are in the flat already. There are 3 runs to be fitted with 2 needing to be connected together from beneath to create a seamless finish on the top (straight edge connection). The third is then on a separate side of the kitchen and will require a curved edge as it meets a curved wall. This section also has boiler pipes running along the back of the worktop so it will need to be adapted to fit this. I need holes cut out for the sink and gas hob that will be fitted in later. I also need the upstands to be fitted.

Disassemble Integrated Fridge, Carpentry & Shelves

£150

Southgate, Greater London

4th Aug 2026

Hi I need someone who is experienced at working with fridges / freezers that are integrated into appliances. I need someone to take out / disassemble my current fridge freezer from the cupboard that it is in. Then depending on the size of that fridge freezer when I can get a true measurement of it - I might need you to do some carpentry to cut back the kitchen cupboard shelf just above the freezer to make space. I need someone with the correct tools to do a clean cut - if needed and to sand down the area / make it look decent. I need someone who is well experienced with integrated appliances and how they fit to cupboards etc. Please see the attached pics - it shows you how the fridge freezer is joined and the shelf at the top that may need to be removed / cut out. I will also have 3 x coat hanger hook rails for you to put up for me around the house.

Dan & Jay are really lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. It's so nice that they work as a wife and husband team and whilst i'm used to workmen coming round on their own, it was reassuring to see his wife Jay with him. Dan gave great advice regarding selection of a new fridge freezer and part disassembled and put in the new integrated freezer efficiently and professionally. Really great service. I would defo book them again.
