Carpenters in Swansea

Internal doors that need hanging, skirting to finish a room, fitted wardrobes for an awkward alcove, a deck for the back garden. Give rough sizes and the materials you'd like, add a photo, and carpenters quote in the app.

You post the job from the Handled app.

The home screen: "Hi there", "What needs doing?", a "Describe the job" box, and "Or pick a trade" with a "List view" button and tiles for Plumber, Electrician, Cleaner, Exterior cleaner, Handyman and Gardener.

What this covers

  • Door fitting
  • Skirting, architrave and trim
  • Fitted wardrobes and storage
  • Wooden floors and laminate
  • Stairs and banisters
  • Decking
  • Wood repairs

For carpenters, there is no register the app checks. Identity and insurance are recorded, as for every trade.

Questions

Questions about carpentry

What sizes should I give?

Rough ones are enough to quote from: how many doors, the width of the alcove, the floor area in square metres. Add a wider photo so the carpenter can see the space.

Can I get it matched to what's already there?

Add a photo of the piece you'd like it to match — a door, a skirting profile, a floorboard. It's one of the photos the app suggests.

Is decking a job for a carpenter or a gardener?

Decking is listed under Carpenter. Patios and paving are under Gardener.

Who buys the materials?

Say in the notes if you've bought them or have something in mind. The quote says which materials are included.

Do carpenters lay laminate as well as wooden floors?

Both are under Wooden floors and laminate. Give the room's rough size and say what's down now, and carpenters quote for laying it.
