Carpenter in Weybridge
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 Weybridge
Weybridge is in Elmbridge, Surrey, where the River Wey meets the Thames. The Brooklands site, once a motor-racing circuit, is close by, and the area has a wide spread of house ages from Victorian villas to modern flats. Weybridge is close to the Thames and the River Wey.
Timber near the river can take up moisture, so ask about treated wood for anything outside or at ground level.

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
- Fitting decking and fencing
- Repairing rotten window frames
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.
- 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.
