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:
- Hanging internal doors
- Building stud walls
- Laying floorboards or laminate
- Building fitted wardrobes and shelving
- Boxing in pipes
Before you book a carpenter
- Fire doors have to be fitted to a specific standard, including the gaps and the ironmongery. Ask if your job needs one.
- 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.
- Ask who will clear up, and who takes away old doors, frames or flooring.
