Carpenters that manage their own profile

9 businesses have claimed their GotAPal listing, so the details come from them rather than public records. GotAPal still doesn't vet them.

What kind of carpentry job is it?

Doors, skirting and architrave

Say how many doors or metres there are, and whether the carpenter supplies the materials or you do.

Fitted furniture

For wardrobes, shelving and alcove units, ask for a drawing and the materials in writing, and how the finish will be done.

Repairs

Sticking doors, broken stair parts and damaged floorboards are common jobs. Photos help a carpenter price them before visiting.

How to check a carpenter yourself

GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not check or vet them. Before you hire, do these checks yourself. They take a few minutes.

  • If the carpenter trades as a limited company, look it up on Companies House: check it is active and the name and address match.
  • Ask for their public liability insurance certificate and check the dates on it.
  • Get a written quote that lists the work, materials, price and when payment is due.
  • Never pay a large sum up front. Pay in stages tied to work done.

Carpenters: common questions

How do I find a carpenter near me?

Pick your town from the list on this page, or search by postcode, to see carpenters listed near you. Open a profile to see how to contact them. Or post your job free and we'll pass it to listed carpenters near you.

Is a carpenter the same as a joiner?

The words are used loosely. Traditionally a joiner makes items in a workshop and a carpenter fits them on site, but many do both.

Does GotAPal check the carpenters it lists?

No. GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not vet them. Check a limited company on Companies House, ask for proof of insurance, and check any trade body membership on that body's own website.

Is GotAPal free to use?

Yes. Searching, contacting carpenters and posting a job are free for you, and carpenters pay no lead fees or commission. The only paid option is Top Pal featured placement, which is always labelled Featured.
