Carpenters bring precision to everything made of wood in your home: fitted wardrobes and alcove units, doors and skirting, staircases, decking and bespoke furniture. Unlike flat-pack solutions, work by a skilled carpenter is measured, scribed and finished to fit your exact space — and it lasts. On HireTrades you can browse local carpenters, view examples of their work and read verified reviews before requesting quotes.
When choosing a carpenter, the portfolio tells you most of what you need to know: ask for photos of recent fitted furniture, door hanging or staircase work similar to your job. Discuss materials early — MDF, softwood, hardwood and veneered boards vary enormously in price and durability — and confirm whether finishing (painting, staining, lacquering) is included. For built-in furniture, a good carpenter will visit to measure and talk through designs before quoting rather than pricing blind.
Carpenter day rates in the UK typically range from £180 to £300. Hanging an internal door costs £50–£100 per door, fitting skirting boards around £180–£250 per room, and a made-to-measure alcove unit £600–£1,500 depending on size and finish. Fitted wardrobes usually cost £1,200–£4,000 per run, while a new staircase ranges from £1,500 for softwood to £8,000+ for hardwood designs. Decking installation typically runs £120–£180 per square metre including materials.
