What a carpenter does
On a bigger job a carpenter may work in stages: rough work first, such as studwork and floor joists, and the neat finishing later when plastering is done.
Jobs people often ask carpenters to do:
- Fitting skirting boards and architraves
- Building stud walls
- Building fitted wardrobes and shelving
- Fitting decking and fencing
- Repairing rotten window frames
Before you book a carpenter
- Ask to see photographs of similar finished work. Tight mitres and neat scribing are easy to spot in a photo.
- For built-in furniture, agree the drawings and finish before cutting begins. Changes after that are costly.
- Timber moves with heat and damp. A good carpenter will tell you how they allow for it, especially on floors and doors.
- Ask who will clear up, and who takes away old doors, frames or flooring.
