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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.

Replace the rear felt on my shed to make it waterproof
£100
Wanstead Flats, Greater London
24th Jul 2023
2/3 strips of the felt on our shed have been replaced - in the photo of the shed roof you can see there's a strip at the back that looks different to the rest. When it rains, this back part of the shed roof often leaks, as you can see from the interior photos. Because of this, I think the lower strip of felt needs replacing, and made as waterproof as possible. I have nails & some sealant left. I can order some more felt or you can supply some. - Due date: Flexible

Replace the felt on my shed roof (felt supplied)
£100
Wanstead Flats, Greater London
30th Jun 2022
Half the felt on our shed has peeled off (and torn in places), so it needs removing and replacing with new felt. I'm ordering a roll, so this will just need someone to come with a ladder and fix it properly. I'm not totally sure how you'd reach the middle of the shed where the nails need hammering, so you might need to being a couple of planks of wood (or something) to run the width of the shed that you can walk on. I can send photos to make this clearer. - Due date: Flexible
