What a carpenter does
Carpenters measure carefully, cut and fit timber, and finish it ready for painting or staining. Quality shows in tight joints and even gaps.
Jobs people often ask carpenters to do:
- Hanging internal doors
- Building stud walls
- Laying floorboards or laminate
- Building fitted wardrobes and shelving
- Fitting decking and fencing
Before you book a carpenter
- Ask whether the quote includes timber, and what type. Softwood, hardwood and sheet materials all behave differently.
- 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.
