Carpentry Services

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.

Coldfall, Greater London

Replacing 4 internal doors and frames. make adjustments to build in wardrobe

Replacing the hinges on my kitchen cabinets and repainting the doors

£500

Manor House, Greater London, N4

14th Feb 2026

I'm replacing the hinges, I have done some of them. Some of them are a little fiddly as the person who installed them originally put wall plugs in some of the holes. The new hinges are compatible with the existing system, though. I want the cabinet doors repainted, and the handles replaced. The previous handles required 2 holes, whereas the new ones only need one. I've used wood filler to fill one of the holes and sanded it down so they're ready to prime/ paint. Some of the doors have been primed, I'll aim to get as many done as I can so that's not a blocker, although I'm running low on specific primer I'm using. I'm not sure if any primer would be fine. I've lightly sanded the doors before priming, but it may need to be redone (if that's the case the price will obviously go up). I also want to install a 'lip' around the bottom edge of some of the cabinets. I've pre-cut the MDF to the exact size, and partially primed the MDF. This is for hiding LED lighting that I'm going to install myself.

Carpenter specialised in fitted kitchens needed

£300

Turnpike Lane, Greater London

11th Feb 2026

Carpenter needed! Ideally with contracts with fitted kitchen suppliers like magnets and Wren etc. Why: I have an integrated fridge freezer but the fitted kitchen doors don’t fit properly. The previous owner created a single door that opened the entire fridge freezer at once which is bad for the fridge efficiency/lifespan. The job: I need one door for the freezer, one door for the fridge, and then one door to cover some mains/plugs/switches above the fridge. The doors need to match the rest of the kitchen as much as possible.
