Carpentry prices depend on the material and finish as much as the size of the job. Bring measurements or arrange a site assessment before requesting a final quote.

What to check

Discuss the intended use and the conditions the item will face. Confirm timber or board specification, fittings and the finish to be applied. Ask whether delivery, installation and site adjustments are included. For fitted work, agree who verifies final dimensions and how changes will be handled after materials are cut.

Questions to ask

  • Who confirms final measurements?
  • Which materials and fittings are specified?
  • Are installation and finishing included?

Compare written proposals against the same brief

Give shortlisted providers the same description and ask them to identify exclusions. Separate assessment, labour, materials and any follow-up that applies. A lower total is difficult to judge if it leaves essential work unspecified. Agree who can approve changes and how the finished job will be checked. For work affecting safety or structural performance, use the appropriate qualified professionals and required approvals throughout, not only after a problem appears.
