Find a local joiner
Joinery is the trade you notice every day — doors that close properly, straight skirting, a staircase that doesn't creak. Good joiners are usually booked weeks ahead, so post early for non-urgent work.
What joiners do
Joiners and carpenters make and fit timber elements: doors, staircases, skirting and architrave, fitted wardrobes, studwork, decking and bespoke furniture.
Typical joiner jobs
- Hanging internal and external doors
- Fitted wardrobes, alcove units and shelving
- Skirting, architrave and coving replacement
- Staircase repairs, spindles and handrails
- Stud walls and loft boarding
- Decking, garden gates and timber structures
When you might need one
- Doors sticking, dropping or not latching
- You want built-in storage in an awkward space
- Second-fix carpentry after building or plastering work
What to include when you post the job
The more of this you give up front, the more accurate the quotes you get back.
- Give measurements of the space, even rough ones
- Say whether materials are supplied by you or the joiner
- Add photos of the existing woodwork and any style you like
- Say if you also need painting afterwards
Questions to ask a joiner
- Is this made on site or in a workshop?
- What timber or board are you using, and is it paint-grade?
- Does the price include filling, sanding and priming?
- How much disruption and dust should I expect?

Joiners FAQs
What's the difference between a joiner and a carpenter?
Traditionally a joiner makes timber components in a workshop and a carpenter fits them on site. In practice most UK tradespeople do both, so describe the job rather than worrying about the label.
How much do fitted wardrobes cost?
Bespoke fitted wardrobes typically cost £1,200–£3,500 per run depending on width, doors and internal fittings — usually cheaper than the equivalent from a national wardrobe company.
How long does it take to hang a door?
A straightforward internal door with existing frame takes 1–2 hours; a new frame, lining and ironmongery is closer to half a day.
