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.

Carpenter/joiner to design & replace courtyard cupboard doors

£500

Clapham Junction, Greater London, SW11

26th Sep 2026

I’m looking for an experienced carpenter/joiner to replace the existing double doors to a built-in storage cupboard in our London courtyard. The existing doors are old, basic timber/board construction with black strap hinges and hardware. They’re functional but tired and I’d like to replace them with something much smarter and more attractive, while keeping the character of the courtyard. I’m open to design ideas from someone with good joinery experience — I’d particularly like advice on the best style and materials for an external/semi-external courtyard environment. What I’m looking for * Remove and dispose of the existing doors * Measure the opening accurately * Design and build two new cupboard doors * Supply suitable exterior/semi-exterior timber/materials * Fit new hinges, catches/handles and other hardware * Ideally retain a traditional/laternal courtyard / period-style look, but with a clean, high-quality finish * Prepare and paint/stain the doors, or leave ready for painting if agreed * Ensure the doors are properly aligned and open/close easily * Make good any minor areas around the frame as required Design ideas I’m not fixed on simply reproducing the existing doors. I’d be interested in options such as: * Traditional ledged-and-braced timber doors * Vertical timber/plank doors with a more contemporary finish * Framed/panelled joinery * A simple painted timber design with black period-style hardware The cupboard is in a courtyard which is partly covered but exposed to outdoor conditions, so the construction needs to be suitable for this environment and resist moisture/weathering. I can provide photos and measurements, and would ideally like the carpenter to visit and measure up before finalising the design. Location: Clapham, London SW11 Budget: Please quote — happy to consider different options depending on design/materials. Please include examples/photos of similar external doors, garden doors, cupboards or traditional joinery you have made.
