Carpenter in Molesey
Carpenters make and fit the wooden parts of a building. Some work on site first fix, framing and floors; others specialise in finishing, such as skirting, architraves and built-in storage.
About Molesey
East and West Molesey are in Elmbridge, Surrey, facing Hampton Court Palace across the Thames, with the River Mole joining the river here. Much of the housing is close to water, which is worth keeping in mind when planning work. Molesey is close to the Thames and the River Mole.
Timber near the river can take up moisture, so ask about treated wood for anything outside or at ground level.
Molesey is in Elmbridge, Surrey. If you cannot find the right carpenter here, the nearby places Walton-on-Thames, Esher, Kingston and Sunbury each have their own page below or in the full list.
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:
- Fitting skirting boards and architraves
- Building stud walls
- Building fitted wardrobes and shelving
- Boxing in pipes
- Repairing rotten window frames
Before you book a carpenter
- Ask whether the quote includes timber, and what type. Softwood, hardwood and sheet materials all behave differently.
- Fire doors have to be fitted to a specific standard, including the gaps and the ironmongery. Ask if your job needs one.
- For built-in furniture, agree the drawings and finish before cutting begins. Changes after that are costly.
- Ask who will clear up, and who takes away old doors, frames or flooring.
