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.

Build a wooden play frame for dogs

£375

Springfield, Greater Manchester

13th Jul 2026

We have a doggy day care facility and need help building a wooden play frame for our large dogs. I don't have any drawings yet as we are open to the design but in essence it would be like a pergola style frame with attachments for ropes etc for the dogs to pull on. It doesn't need to be as think as a traditional pergola, we need need a study frame that we can attach things to. It would be built indoor. In terms of dimensions we are thinking between 3-4m L, 1m W and 2m H. This task would be best suited for someone who has a van who could collect the materials for us (or let us know what to order and you can just pick-up) and also able to work after 6pm (as we can't work whilst the dogs are in). I can also be on site to give you a hand

Sand and stain wooden kitchen counter

£200

Barrow Bridge, Greater Manchester

1st Jul 2026

HAPPY TO NEGOTIATE FAIR PAY. Advice from experience welcome please! I have walnut wooden kitchen countertops. I previously made them darker with furniture varnish but it began to fade around the sink. So I sanded it back and stained again but with Osmo oil stain instead (shade tobacco). But now it has dried, I can see a lot of marks on the counter that look like water marks from pots and cups. TO DO - I’m thinking it will need sanding down again and the wood treating to remove the marks before staining with the Osmo oil again. Advice from experience welcome, please!
