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
- Fitting skirting boards and architraves
- Building stud walls
- Fitting decking and fencing
- 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.
- 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.
- If a job involves a load-bearing wall or a roof timber, ask who is responsible for the structural check.
