What a carpenter or joiner does
Carpenters and joiners fit and hang doors, replace skirting and architrave, build fitted wardrobes and alcove units, repair stairs and floors, and make bespoke joinery. In Dudley many also do the timber side of a loft or kitchen job. Ask whether the work is made to measure or off the shelf, and what timber or board it is made from.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?
Traditionally a joiner makes things in a workshop, such as doors, windows and staircases, and a carpenter fits and builds on site. Most home businesses do both, so describe the job and let them say if it is theirs.
Can an internal door be trimmed to fit?
Solid doors usually can, within limits. Hollow core doors have a narrow solid edge and can only be trimmed a little. A carpenter will tell you which you have before quoting.
How do I compare made to measure quotes?
Ask for a drawing or sketch with dimensions, the materials named, and whether painting or finishing is included. A quote that covers all three is one you can compare fairly.
How do I get a quote from carpenters and joiners in Dudley?
Pick a listing on this page and send a quote request saying what needs doing and when suits you. The business comes back to you with a price and a time. It is free to ask, and no payment is taken online.
Are the carpenters and joiners on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records such as Companies House and Google and are marked as not yet claimed. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We do not check registers or insurance yet, so ask for a Gas Safe or NICEIC/NAPIT number and check it yourself.
What should I check before I hire a carpenter or joiner?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Is the water hard in Dudley?
Most homes in the DY1 postcode district are supplied by South Staffs Water, and hardness across its supply zones is 151 to 196 mg/l (moderately hard), from 2025 to 2026 supply zone data. It varies by street, so check your postcode with your water company.
Who do I call if I smell gas in Dudley?
Call the national gas emergency number, 0800 111 999, free at any time. Cadent runs the gas network in the West Midlands and will send an engineer to make it safe. Then book a Gas Safe registered engineer for any repair.
Prices and availability are confirmed by each business. No payment is taken online, you pay the tradesperson directly.
