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.

Carpenter or joiner to supply and fit a custom MDF

£200

Earl's Court, Greater London

24th Apr 2025

Looking for a carpenter or joiner to supply and fit a custom MDF panel to fill the gap between kitchen wall units and the ceiling. The kitchen includes corner cabinets and a slightly uneven ceiling, so precise cutting and fitting will be important. The goal is a clean, contemporary finish — ideally spray-painted white in matt, with light caulking where needed to smooth the edges. Experience in kitchen cabinet finishing or similar bespoke joinery work preferred.

Custom shelves

£400

Marylebone, Greater London

24th Apr 2025

I am looking to get some shelving made. It is not a hugely complicated job - it is a small space, and I want some floating shelves made to fill a floor to ceiling alcove. Roughly we are talking 30cm x 30cm for the space, with maybe around 5 shelves made to go from floor to ceiling. The only complication is that because it is an old building, the space is likely not totally uniform, so each shelf will need to be measured carefully and individually. I’d like them painted. Once the shelves are mounted in place I would like them grouted to the wall. The shelves will have books on them so the shelves do not need to be floating, standard L mounts or equivalent would be fine.
