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.

Electric for garden office with certificate

£750

Forest Hill, Greater London

23rd May 2024

We are looking for an electrician to help us with the electrics in the garden office we are planning to build over the next month. We hired someone to build it but need help sorting the electrics which would include the need for the appropriate certificates. We are thinking of one ceiling light and 4-6 plugs depending on cost/advice. The garden office is 3.11m length x 2.29m width x 2.28m height. You can see more details on the webpage - it would be the 10x6 feet option here: https://www.projecttimber.com/garden-offices/my-den/#size The distance from the house would be around 1m and roughly 5m from the fusebox. We are based in SE23. Can you give us an estimate of the cost and your availability for the upcoming month? Kind regards, Joana Cunha

Sanding and staining some unfinished stair nosing and edge profiles

£150

Forest Hill, Greater London

22nd Jun 2023

Hi. I have several metres of unfinished oak stair nosing and edge profiles which will soon be installed on my stairs/house along with some finished flooring I recently bought. The flooring will be installed from the middle of next week. Since the wood is unfinished, I'd like them to be sanded, stained to a close colour match of the finished floor, then have a final protective lacquer added. It's 24m of stair nosing (9 * 2.7m) in total with approx 9cm on each length that need finishing (the top and front). The sides and underside don't need finishing. So it's ~2.2m2 in area total. This is already on-site. I've added pics showing their shape. There will then be 16m (6 * 2.7m) of unfinished end profiles which need to be finished on top (4cm depth). These have been ordered but haven't arrived yet (expected Tuesday) so the job can either be done all at once next week, or in two parts if you're able to start on the nosing this weekend/early next week. Although the wood is awkwardly long, I've assumed that the staining is easier to do pre-installation, rather than having to stain each step one by one and protect the other floor etc. Happy to be guided on what would make this easier to do logistically. I've chosen a stain colour from Ronseal Xactly that seems to be the closest match. I expect 3 coats should be fine. I haven't chosen a lacquer though. Happy to buy whatever is advised. Let me know if you have sanding equipment/brushes or need me to provide. Thanks! - Due date: Before Friday, 30 June 2023
