Carpenters work with timber and manufactured wood products to make, install, repair and alter parts of buildings and household fittings. Their work may include measuring and cutting materials, assembling components on site, fitting doors and window frames, installing skirting boards, architraves, stair parts, floorboards and shelving, and making adjustments so items fit correctly. Some specialise in first-fix work, such as roof structures, stud walls and floor joists, while others focus on second-fix fittings and interior finishes. Customers may also use a carpenter for bespoke items such as cupboards, wardrobes, counters, cabinets and fitted storage. Services can include taking measurements, preparing drawings or plans, selecting suitable materials, constructing items in a workshop and fitting them at the property. Carpenters may carry out repairs to damaged timber, replace rotten sections, ease sticking doors or restore existing fixtures.
