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/joiner to make corner bench

£350

Highgate, Greater London

14th Apr 2024

I am looking for a skilled carpenter or joiner to make me a corner bench for a breakfast nook in my kitchen. The bench is to be made of wood (maybe birch plywood, but open to suggestions) and placed in the corner. The seats should lift to give access to storage. You will create the bench only - I have added pictures of a kitchen area just to give you an idea. We can workout the exact quote once we’ve agreed the spec (e.g., dimensions, materials etc). I just need an indicative price at this stage and to find a skilled person for the job. I will pay for materials.

Carpenter/Joiner for new cupboard doors

£500

Chelsea, Greater London

10th Apr 2024

Hi. I would like some cupboard doors made to cover some shelves in a sitting room, similar to the ones shown in the photo. They are flush with the wall and set in the opening and very high at about 2.5m and a similar width. MDF is fine and with push catches. I am then interested in putting beading around the joins to hide them and make it look like panelling. If I can find the right person, I have other bigger projects that need doing. Have included a nominal price, not including materials, a quote might be best. Thanks for reading.
