Nick was amazing. He came round the same evening I posted the ad. We had a tricky problem of moving a heavy bin store over a fence into our garden. He problem solved and came up with a very clever way to solve the issue. We were very impressed and would definitely use again.

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.

Boarding cupboard under the stairs

£50

Levenshulme, Greater Manchester

19th Mar 2024

Hi, I need the small cupboard under my stairs fully boarded (floor and walls). The boarding only needs to protect the rest of the house from drafts and mice, it doesn't need to be plaster boarding or anything that will be finished/decorated. There is a soil pipe you will need to cut around on the floor. I have bought some tongue and groove style loft panels as a start (could be used for floor or sides) and will get either another pack or those or whatever else you suggest would be right for the rest.

Help me cut a breadboard end for a small garden table top

£75

Chorlton Cum Hardy, Greater Manchester

6th Aug 2023

I'm making a replacement garden table-top for my grandmother. I am an enthusiastic but inexperienced woodworker having made a dining table (without breadboard ends!) and TV cabinet. However I only use hand tools: I don't have a table saw and am a bit scared of my handheld router! I can make the table-top myself except for the breadboard ends. I am looking for a carpenter who will help me make the tongue and groove or mortise and tenon (not decided which to go with) joints for the breadboard ends. I don't think it will be a long job. I'm happy to bring the table-top to the workshop or you are welcome to come to my flat if you have portable tools. I'd like to be as involved so that as much of the table-top as possible is made by me as it's a gift to my Granny. However I appreciate that nobody wants someone 'having a go' on a table saw without proper training so I'm flexible on which bits you'd rather do. Basically I need someone with the right equipment to help me make breadboard ends for one small table and make sure I don't wreck my present for my Granny :D - Due date: Flexible
