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.

Move my shed/kids playhouse

£300

Shortlands, Greater London

7th Jul 2024

We have bought a wooden playhouse from Marketplace that is located in the back garden of a house in Eden Park. It needs to be deconstructed and delivered in parts to our garden in Shortlands - 1 mile away. Ideally, you would help reconstruct on delivery. The playhouse has been lined with plasterboard- this has been removed and needs to be reattached. The floor has laminate on it which is all stuck down. Likewise, the tiles are attached to the roof so with the 4 sides, 2 roof panels and floor there are 7 large ‘main bits’ that need to come apart and go back together again. There is also a small kids ‘balcony’ and ladder inside, but this shouldn’t be too hard to put back into place. We have cleared an area for the playhouse/shed to go on in our back garden in Shortlands and could help bring all the pieces to the spot. We have put down a gravel topped shed grid for it to go straight on top of, and 3 walls can lean against adjacent walls. It’s in a corner. We are flexible when this iob can happen and can provide some amateur help - along with endless tea/coffee/snacks!
