What to check before you hire a carpenter
- Ask to see photos of similar finished work
- Confirm who supplies materials and at what cost
- Check whether painting or finishing is included
- For structural timber, ask whether an engineer is needed
- Agree lead times for made-to-measure items
What affects the price
- Materials (softwood, hardwood, MDF or sheet materials)
- Bespoke or standard sizes
- Amount of finishing and painting
- Removing old fittings
- Number of items and access
Call-out fees usually cover travel and the first period of labour. Ask whether yours does, and what the hourly rate is after that.
How to compare quotes
- Ask to see photos of similar finished work
- Confirm who supplies materials and at what cost
- Check whether painting or finishing is included
- For structural timber, ask whether an engineer is needed
- Agree lead times for made-to-measure items
Compare what is included, not just the headline price. The cheapest quote often leaves out preparation, making good or certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do carpentry quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: preparation, parts, making good, certification and guarantees. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare like for like.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Is it cheaper to book outside peak times?
Often, for planned work. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs cost more at any time of year.
Do carpenters paint their work?
Some do, but painting is often a separate job. Check whether your quote includes priming and finishing.
What is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?
Joiners usually make items in a workshop, while carpenters fit on site. Many tradespeople do both.
Can rotten timber be repaired rather than replaced?
Often, yes, by cutting out the rot and splicing in new timber, as long as the source of moisture is fixed first.
