Frequently Asked Questions

Carpentry & Joinery FAQs

A joiner traditionally makes timber components (doors, stairs, windows, fitted furniture) in a workshop; a carpenter installs timber on site and handles general structural timber work. In modern UK practice the terms overlap — most trade carpenters do both, and you'll find them listed as "carpenter", "joiner" or "carpenter & joiner" interchangeably.
Hanging a single internal door with a new frame and ironmongery typically costs £450–£750 in 2026; replacing doors in existing frames runs £120–£250 each. Six-panel hardwood doors and fire doors add £150-£400 each. A full ground-floor door swap (4-5 doors) with mid-range oak doors is usually £1,800–£3,200 including fitting.
Yes. Most experienced joiners offer a design-make-install service for fitted bedroom wardrobes: site survey, measured drawings, carcass build (usually in the workshop), on-site install, and painting or stain finish. Expect £1,800–£3,500 for a small bedroom wardrobe run and £4,000–£6,500 for a large bedroom with floor-to-ceiling units and internal fit-out.
A new internal staircase installation costs £1,800–£5,500 in 2026, depending on material (softwood, hardwood, oak), spindle style and whether structural work is needed. Adding glass panel balustrades pushes prices to £4,500–£9,000. Expect 2–5 days on site including removal of the old stair and carpet reinstatement.
Yes — any new or substantially altered staircase must meet Part K of the Building Regulations (pitch ≤42°, going ≥220mm, rise ≤220mm, handrail heights, guarding). Your joiner or carpenter should handle Building Control notification and inspections as part of the job. Listed buildings and loft conversion stairs have additional rules.
Often yes, but check with your carpenter first. Many prefer to source materials themselves because they have trade accounts, know what will arrive on time, and guarantee the timber against defects. If you supply your own, agree who is responsible if doors arrive warped, damaged or the wrong size — this is the single most common cause of disputes.
