What a carpenter does
A carpenter makes, fits and repairs anything made of wood or board: doors, built-in wardrobes, kitchens, floating floors, skirting boards and made-to-measure furniture. Many also do the fine adjustments nobody else does: a door that sticks, a sagging hinge or a drawer that will not close.
Most requested jobs for a carpenter
Adjusting or replacing a door
Planing a door that sticks or replacing hinges and handles takes a single visit. Replacing the whole door with its frame is a full day.
Assembling furniture and kitchens
Fitting flat-pack kitchens, wardrobes and shop-bought furniture, adjusted to walls that are never quite square.
Made-to-measure built-in wardrobes
Measuring, workshop manufacture and fitting. This is the job where it pays most to get the cutting list and type of board in writing.
Flooring and skirting boards
Laying floating floors, replacing skirting boards or repairing boards lifted by damp.
Emergency: what to do until the carpenter arrives
Carpentry emergencies are usually a door that will not close or open, or a piece of furniture that has come away from the wall. If the front door will not close, the first thing is to secure it; if the problem is the lock rather than the wood, what you need is a locksmith. For everything else, photos and measurements help the carpenter turn up with the right part.
