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.

Build two wood shelves and hang

£250

The Wrythe, Greater London

9th Mar 2025

Two shelves in an alcoves between external wall and chimney breast. There is a slight angle to the wall so the shelves will need to be cut to fit. There was a shelf there before however it was not hung very well and the shelf is old. I have kept the old shelf so can be used as a template.

Fix furniture

£50

Addiscombe, Greater London

3rd Mar 2025

I ordered a cabinet that I assembled myself. At the final stage it appeared the 2 sliding doors don't fit. All screws are tightened where instructed but it looks like the top and/or base are bowed, meaning there's a huge gap in the middle, so when you slide the doors to the right, they fall out instead of fitting snuggly in the grooves and sliding along. I've attached images of one of the sliding doors for reference but I have to hold it up in place with one hand to keep it up. I'm unsure if the item is faulty or if there's anything that can be done. Wondering if there's a carpentry solution such as fixing another layer of wood with matching grooves to close the gap?
