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
- Laying floorboards or laminate
- Building fitted wardrobes and shelving
- Boxing in pipes
- Repairing rotten window frames
Before you book a carpenter
- A new staircase or a change to an existing one has to meet Building Regulations for rise, going and headroom.
- 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.
- If a job involves a load-bearing wall or a roof timber, ask who is responsible for the structural check.
