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.

I need someone to finish a carpentery job I started

£100

St Pancras, Greater London

28th Dec 2024

I ordered some 9mm white MDF in clearance to make a temp partition wall but they only had 18mm. It's very heavy to use and although I've done one three sided box, it still needs shaving down and putting back up. I also need the right hand side to pin one panel on the other with small L two screw brackets. I have a lot of MDF left and just need a mis-match of bits to make it private from one side to another but it's something I will take down in a few months. I could have done it but it's too heavy and precarious and I have a few ideas. I have the material, including plainer, jig-saw, which I haven't been very good with either. Basically I started it but although it's looks easy, it's all too much for me now. For someone stronger who has done this before it will be a doddle. Also I need a handle put on a door I bought for it all. I will cover it all with wall paper or plactic stuff after or you could do that too?

Desk that needs wood work touching up.

£200

Camden Town, Greater London, NW1

29th Mar 2023

The desk has a glass top and a wooden front panel and draw which needs restoring. Wood is a black, ebony stain I think, and is slightly chipped and worn on the edges. The inside of the draw also needs some cosmetic attention where it is also worn. I think it's a satin black finish on the inside with foam inserts. The draw works well mechanically. The desk width is 150cm. Depth is 60cm and hight is 73cm. The draw is 70 cm W and 6cm H and this is the part that needs the most attention . - Due date: Flexible
