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 Orpington?
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.
Prices and availability are confirmed by each business. No payment is taken online, you pay the tradesperson directly.
