Short answer: good carpentry comes from accurate measurements, a clear design, agreed materials and fittings, and a written quote. Ask for these before work starts and compare quotes on the same specification.
Steps to a good result
- Define the job: wardrobe, kitchen cabinets, doors, shelves, TV unit or repair.
- Get measured on site: exact wall lengths, heights and obstacles such as sockets, pipes and windows.
- Agree the design: sketch or reference photo, door type, shelves, drawers.
- Agree materials and fittings: board or wood type, finish, hinges, channels and handles.
- Get a written quote listing materials and fittings.
- Confirm the timeline and who handles installation.
Materials: what to ask
- What is the carcass and door material, and what thickness?
- What finish: laminate, veneer, paint or polish?
- What hinges and drawer channels will be used?
- Is the material suitable for kitchens and damp areas?
Kitchen cabinets: plan with plumbing and electrical
Cabinets must fit around sink lines, gas points, sockets and lighting. Plan these before cabinets are built, so there are no cuts or changes later. If you are renovating, coordinate with the other trades. Our renovation team can handle plumbing, electrical and carpentry in one sequence.
Common mistakes
- Taking measurements before tiles or plaster are finished.
- Comparing quotes with different materials.
- No written list of fittings, so cheaper ones are used.
- Ignoring ventilation and moisture around the kitchen sink.
Repair instead of replacing
Loose joints, sagging doors, broken hinges and worn polish can often be repaired. If the structure is sound, repair is usually cheaper than replacement.
