What does a carpenter do?
Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home, or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters take on a wide range of work, such as fixing areas of houses and building furniture from scratch.
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 plasterwork. 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.
Decking
Don't know what to do with all that space in your backyard? Hire a carpenter who specialises in building decks. 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.
Cabinet making
Cabinetmakers 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. Cabinetmakers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too.
Refinishing carpentry
While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at the small end. 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, there’s someone nearby who can help.
Joinery
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.

Tiny metal shed installation
£10
Canary Wharf, Greater London
18th Sep 2024
I have purchased this tiny shed "Canopia by Palram Garden Skylight Tool Shed 4 x 3 Metal 121 x 90 cm." I cannot post links on AirTasker so if you Google it, an Amazon listing should come up as I bought it from Amazon. The sheds measure about 1 metre by 1 metre and I have purchased two of them. There are a few YouTube videos on installing these sheds. They are made out of metal and Polycarbonate Panels. I would like it installed ASAP. I expect this would take someone who builds things a few hours to do. I am happy to help should it help keep costs down and you need someone to hold things. I would like this job done by this Friday. Thank you. Ryan
James was professional and did the job exactly as was agreed. He turned at the agreed time and did the job that was asked of him. He was polite and professional, and did what he was paid to do, so I would happily recommend him. Thank you.
