How do estimates for general carpentry jobs work?

We will help connect you with a professional who can provide you with a quote. They will base their cost estimates on the specifics you provide within the request form.

Prices vary by project, though. For instance, loft conversions will cost more than replacing a window and door. Building a new kitchen and bathroom will be more expensive than replacing your skirt board.

Should my general carpenter have insurance?

When your carpenter has public liability insurance, it protects both of you. So that in the rare case of an accident, insurance will look after liability and health and safety issues. Your chosen professional will come equipped with personal protective equipment, to ensure the safety of their team.

You should also check to see if your carpenter has gone through a training course, overseen by a city guild.

Is it important to draft a contract with my carpenter?

It is always a good idea to draft a contract with your carpenter. This protects both of you and ensures that the project's details are communicated clearly. It can prevent issues around the scope of work, type of materials, work schedule, final cost and payment terms.

Will they paint or stain the final product?

Depending on your project, you may want the final product painted or stained after it has been built. If the final product will remain outdoors, staining or painting the wood is a good way to preserve it. That way the weather won't rot away your prized piece. If you would like your project painted or stained, simply mention this in the request form.

Will they clean up afterwards?

Whether your carpenter will provide clean up and debris removal services or not, depends on your arrangements with them. Many carpenters are happy to provide clean up services if you let them know beforehand. So, if you would like them to remove debris after the project's completion note this in the request form. That way everyone knows what the clean up plans are!
