What type of carpenter do I need?


The work of carpenters is wide and varied, so many choose to specialise in a particular line of work. Any qualified carpenter should be able to perform general carpentry work involving framing and the installation and repair of timber structures and fixtures, while other jobs may require a specialist.

A framer or framework carpenter prepares and installs the framework of a building, and is often one of the first tradesman on site. A formwork carpenter then constructs a mould in which concrete can be poured and supported until the construction is completed.

A finish carpenter, on the other hand, is someone you would hire to assist in the final stages of a construction or home renovation. These carpentry jobs include but are not limited to door and window fittings, the construction of stairs, and the installation of skirting boards, architraves, flooring, siding and decking.

Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of carpenters: Building Supplies, Kitchen & Bathroom Designers, Building Project Managers, Landscape Contractors & Gardeners, Home Builders.
