There's no single price for a carpenter in London, because "carpentry" covers everything from a ten-minute door adjustment to a set of built-in wardrobes. Rather than quote a headline figure that rarely matches the real job, we look at what you actually need and give you a fixed price before any work begins — so the number you're quoted is the number you pay.
A few things shape the cost of any carpentry job:
- The type of job — hanging a door, fitting shelves or easing a sticking frame is a small job; fitted worktops, wall panelling or bespoke furniture takes longer and costs more.
- How long the work takes — you pay for the time on the job, so a quick repair is far cheaper than a multi-day install.
- Materials — timber, fittings and fixings vary widely in price. We can source and supply everything, or fit materials you've already bought — whichever works better for your budget.
- Complexity and finish — a straightforward shelf run is quicker than made-to-measure joinery cut and finished to fit an awkward space.
- Access and location — easy access speeds a job up; upper-floor flats or tight spaces can add time.
The simplest way to get an accurate price is to tell us about the job: send a few details or photos and we'll give you a free, fixed quote for a carpenter in your area. There's no obligation, and you'll know exactly what's included — labour and materials — before you book.
