Remove study joinery

Now that we have found Matt, we will never bother with another unreliable tradie again!! Matt did the most perfect job, installing our Bunnings kitchen. He was so reliable and really friendly, even building me a little shelf out of the leftovers!! Our kitchen has had a complete makeover and we are so grateful. We’ve already recommended him to friends and he only left a few hours ago. 11/10

Carpentry Services
What do carpenters near me do?
Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring carpenters near me for small jobs or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use other types of power tools and hand tools to carry on building and construction work.Â
Carpentry work is generally broken down into two types: rough and finish. Rough carpentry refers to work that doesn’t have an intricate look, as it’s covered up – often by bricks, tiles, or plaster work. Finish carpentry covers the work that will be on display, so needs to have a nicer finish. Furniture, decking, and window frames all fall into this second category.Â
Carpenters for decking
Many Australian homes are blessed with a large backyard and plenty of sunny hours to enjoy that space. A decking specialist can add an outdoor deck or upgrade an existing one that opens up your outdoor space. This is great if you want to entertain guests or eat outside as a family during the sunny months.Â
Carpenters for cabinet-making
Cabinet makers are one example of finish carpentry, because of the high level of detail that goes into their end products. Unlike structural work, it’s important that a cabinet looks nice, so this type of carpenter is a lot more focused on fine details. Cabinet makers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too.Â
Refinishing carpentry
While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at jobs like wood staining and removal of old finish. A trim carpenter is the way to go if you want someone to fix up your skirting boards, cornicing, or a similar aspect of your home.
Custom made furniture
A house isn’t a home without a few personal touches, and if you’d rather avoid the cookie-cutter Ikea approach to decorating your property, hiring a carpenter to create custom-made furniture can make you stand out. Whether you want chairs, tables, or a shoe rack, or even kitchen installation there’s someone nearby who can help.Â
Joinery carpenters
Joinery services encompass the craftsmanship of creating and joining wood in workshops, distinct from on-site carpentry. These services range from bespoke projects to crafting timber buildings, emphasizing precision and passion. Joiners play a crucial role in interior woodwork, window and door production, and specialized construction, offering tailored and quality timber solutions.

Fridge needs wood placed under it to fix angle/leak
$80
Scarborough NSW, Australia
13th Jan 2025
The corner for our fridge is on an angle creating a lean, and leak. The fridge has been here for a while but I’ve just moved in. It would be ideal if you can pull the fridge out so I can clean behind it before placing the wood down. Or perhaps the feet can be unscrewed to lift it. You might need to visit first and then do a trip to the trade store if you can factor that in the price. I can also send measurements so you can bring the wood with you to save time.


Tim was punctual, did clean and precise work, and proved to be an excellent problem solver. He was friendly and great to deal with. Highly recommend his services!
