Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?
In practice the terms are often used interchangeably, but technically a joiner works in a workshop making items such as doors, stairs and window frames, while a carpenter works on-site fitting and finishing. Most tradespeople do both. When hiring, focus on whether they have experience with the specific type of work you need.
Should I supply the materials or leave it to the carpenter?
Either works. Many carpenters have trade accounts and can source materials at better prices than retail. However, if you already have specific materials or want to control the specification, a good carpenter will work with what you provide. Just ensure the spec is agreed in writing before work starts.
Do I need planning permission for decking?
In most cases, decking under 30cm high and covering less than 50% of your garden does not require planning permission. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you should check with your local council before starting. A reputable carpenter will advise you.
How do I maintain hardwood floors after fitting?
Hardwood floors should be swept or vacuumed regularly and mopped with a barely damp cloth — never wet-mopped. Use manufacturer-recommended cleaning products and felt pads under furniture. Most hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished 3–4 times during their lifetime.
Important
For structural carpentry such as removing walls, fitting load-bearing lintels or loft conversions, always ensure building regulations approval is obtained. A good carpenter will advise you on this.
