Recent carpentry work

Carpentry Repairs, Before and After

Three recent Wellington carpentry jobs — a kitchen cabinet door off its hinges, a door jamb splintered around the strike plate, and a deck with collapsed steps. All repaired rather than replaced.

Before and after a kitchen cabinet repair: on the left a white cabinet door hanging off its hinges with the particle board edge broken away, on the right the same run of cabinetry with the door rehung and sitting flush — A kitchen cabinet door that had pulled off its hinges, repaired and rehung so it sits flush with the run again — no new cabinetry needed.

Before and after a door repair: on the left a door jamb with the timber splintered away around the strike plate, on the right the same jamb repaired with a clean new strike plate and working latch — A splintered door jamb rebuilt around the strike plate, with the latch and hardware refitted so the door closes and locks properly.

Before and after a deck repair: on the left a weathered grey timber deck with collapsed, rotten steps and a gap through to the framing, on the right the same deck rebuilt with sound new boards, fresh steps and a wire balustrade — Rotten decking and collapsed steps replaced, the framing underneath checked, and a new wire balustrade fitted.

Straight answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of jobs does general carpentry cover?

A wide range: custom shelving and built-in storage, wall framing, structural repairs, cabinetry, skirtings and architraves, decks and pergolas, and the everyday timber repairs around a house. If it involves building, fitting, or fixing something in timber, it usually falls under general carpentry rather than a specialist trade.

Can you build custom shelving or built-in storage?

Yes, and it is one of the jobs we are asked for most. Built-ins made to fit the actual space work far better than off-the-shelf units, particularly in older homes where nothing is quite square. We measure, design around how you will use it, then build and install.

Do you take on small carpentry jobs?

Gladly. A sagging gate, loose skirting, a shelf that needs hanging properly, or a bit of rotten weatherboard are all worth doing, and they are exactly the jobs that sit on a list for years. Give us several at once and we will quote and knock them off together.

Can you build a deck or pergola?

Yes. We build decks, pergolas, and other outdoor timber structures, sized and fixed for Wellington conditions rather than sheltered sites. Wind loading matters here, so the framing and fixings need to suit your exposure. We can advise on what your consent requirements are likely to be.

What timber do you use for outdoor carpentry in Wellington?

Treated pine for framing and structural work, with the treatment level matched to how exposed and how close to the ground it sits. For visible decking and trim we use appropriately durable options depending on your budget and finish. Wellington weather punishes undertreated timber, so we do not cut corners there.
