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.

Cut 2 pieces of wood (part of radiator cover)

£20

South Lambeth, Greater London, SW8

3rd May 2026

Basically need the top strip to be 1m wide and then the patterned panel below to be cut in the same place. When measuring I worked out approx the over hang of the top panel is 2cms and then the width of the side panel when attached is 1.5cms meaning that the patterned panel should be 96.5 cms wide so approx 14.5cms needs to be cut off from the right side and then the thin top panel to be 100 cms wide will need approx 20 cms from the right side cut off (so when the front panel and top panel are joined together with the side panel the top panel should be 100cms wide and both pieces should end together on the right if that makes sense - done a diagram in case that’s helpful). They’re 3 separate pieces (obvs only the 2 panels need cutting) but will leave the third piece out too (the side panel) in case you want to put together to see its all aligned 😊

Wood Stain removal / wood floor stain restoration

£30

South Lambeth, Greater London, SW8

31st Mar 2026

Hi, I’m looking for someone with experience restoring or treating LIGHT - MEDIUM coloured wood floor stains to help with a small area in my living room. My dog had a few pee accidents, and I initially tried to clean the area with Fairy liquid, but now the affected spots look whitish/lighter than the surrounding wood, so I’d really like someone who actually knows what they’re doing with wooden floors. What I need: Someone experienced with wood floor cleaning / stain treatment / floor restoration Ideally someone who has dealt with: pet urine stains on wood floors surface whitening / cloudy patches product damage / finish damage You should know what products or treatment are appropriate and bring what’s needed if possible Area: Very small section of the living room This is not a full-room job Should be a relatively quick task for the right person, but I’d prefer someone who can assess it properly first Important: Please only apply if you have done this kind of repair/treatment before and can tell me: how you’d fix it roughly how long it would take Thanks!
