How to find a skilled, local carpenter
Looking to tackle some carpentry projects? Whether it’s custom loft cabinets or fixing that creaky staircase, finding the right carpentry or joinery service can make all the difference.
What a carpenter or joiner can help with
A good rule of thumb is: if it involves wood, it’ll probably need a carpenter or joiner. Whether you’re looking to install new wooden tiling or want bespoke kitchen fittings like custom cabinets, a carpenter can help with a large range of jobs. These include:
- Building and installing structures that are made of wood or wood substitutes such as doors, door frames, decking, windows, wooden flooring, cabinets, staircases, and partition walls
- Repairing damaged furniture
- Cutting and shaping timber for floorboards, skirting boards and window frames
- Building temporary wooden supports to hold setting concrete in place (shuttering)
Carpenters are particularly handy if you’re trying to add space-saving storage solutions to your home, such as in a loft with low ceilings or in a small bathroom.
Not all carpenters and joiners are specialised in all these skills, so make sure you add plenty of details about your project when you post a job to find the right tradesperson.
Factors to consider when hiring a carpenter
Avoid unnecessary stress and expensive repairs down the line by hiring a skilled carpentry service to help you with your next home improvement. Look out for carpenters that:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the carpentry or joinery service you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local carpentry companies
A local carpenter or joiner is more likely to respond as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

Planning permission for carpentry jobs
Most woodwork projects don’t require planning permission. However, there are some exceptions, such as:
- Building a wooden shed or outbuilding that is over 2.5 metres high or more than a single storey
- Installing wooden decking that is more than 30cm above the ground
- Carpentry jobs carried out in a listed building or period property
For more information on whether or not your carpentry project will require planning permission, consult the Planning Portal website and our planning permission guide.
What qualifications does a carpenter need?
Carpentry and joinery work don’t require specific certificates or qualifications in the UK, though your carpenter may have completed a woodwork apprenticeship or course to learn the trade.
The best thing to do is ask about recent work and references. This will give you peace of mind that your carpenter or joiner has had plenty of happy customers and will get the job done properly. When you’re finding a carpenter through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.
Questions to ask a carpenter
Here are some questions to ask before you hire a carpenter or joiner to help you refurbish and renovate your home:
Are you licensed and insured?
Make sure to ask your carpenter what insurance they have before you hire them. While it’s not a requirement, it’s a good idea for your carpenter to have valid public liability insurance. This protects both you and your carpenter in case anything goes wrong during the job.
How many years of experience do you have?
Knowing how many years of experience your carpenter has will allow you to pick a carpenter who you are confident has sufficient expertise to carry out a high quality job. When you’re finding a roofer through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.
How much will the job cost?
Asking how much the job will cost will help you budget for your project and will ensure price transparency before you hire. How much you’ll end up spending depends on the scope of your project, and where you live in the UK, so make sure you add plenty of details when you post a job.
How long will the job take?
Knowing what your project’s estimated timeline is will help you set realistic expectations about how long your roof renovation will take to complete.
