Local Insight

London carpenters charge £200–£350 per day or £30–£50 per hour. Bespoke work commands a premium but adds real value to London properties where space is at a premium. Many Victorian and Edwardian homes have non-standard dimensions — an experienced London carpenter will know how to work with uneven walls and floors. Always ask to see examples of previous work, especially for visible joinery.

Carpenter in London — FAQs

How much do fitted wardrobes cost in London?
Fitted wardrobes in London cost £800–£2,500 depending on size, materials, and finish. MDF with spray paint is the most popular choice. Solid wood costs more but adds a premium feel. Most carpenters offer a free measuring and design consultation.
How long does alcove shelving take to build?
A pair of alcove shelving units typically takes 1–2 days to build and install. Add an extra day if you want them painted or spray-finished. Your carpenter will usually do a measuring visit first, then build in their workshop or on-site.
Can a carpenter help with my loft conversion?
Yes — carpenters handle the timber structural work in loft conversions including floor joists, stud walls, dormer framing, and staircase installation. For a full loft conversion you'll also need a builder, electrician, and plumber, but the carpenter is central to the project.
What's the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?
In practice, the terms overlap significantly. Traditionally, a joiner works in a workshop making items like doors, windows, and staircases, while a carpenter fits them on-site. Most London professionals do both and advertise as carpenter-joiners.
