Carpentry & joinery

Carpentry and joinery for doors, storage and internal woodwork in Surrey

Carpentry here means the woodwork that makes a room function: doors that close, skirting that meets the floor, and storage built to the space rather than stood in front of it. It also covers timber repairs and the carpentry element of a kitchen. Redhill and Reigate are where these enquiries are aimed. A job elsewhere still starts with the postcode.

Know what to look for

When carpentry is the right enquiry

Doors that bind, drop or will not latch

Tell us whether the door is internal, whether it is a fire door, and whether the frame has moved. A fire door should not be trimmed casually.

Gaps at the floor or around a frame

Missing skirting, split architrave or a frame that no longer sits square is a finishing problem until damp or movement is the real cause.

Storage that has to fit an alcove

An alcove, a wardrobe opening or a chimney breast needs width, height and depth. Approximate sizes are enough to start. Invented millimetres are not.

A kitchen that needs the woodwork, not a new layout

Doors, end panels and fitting around existing appliances are carpentry. A full kitchen refurbishment, including plumbing and electrics, belongs on the kitchens page as well.

Practical guidance

Good to know before carpentry is priced

First fix and second fix: First fix is the carcass and framing stage, often before plaster. Second fix is doors, skirting, ironmongery and finishing. Say which stage the property is at. Neither is promised on every job.
Fire doors and stairs: Altering a fire door can affect how it performs. Stair repairs can be structural. Both need to be described honestly before anyone agrees to cut or adjust them.
Walls, floors and ceilings are rarely square: Scribing and packing are normal. A price that assumes a perfect opening often changes once the old woodwork is off.
Who makes the pieces: Some work is cut and fitted on site. Some is made by a specialist and installed afterwards. The quotation should say which, rather than implying a factory on the premises.

How it works

How a carpentry & joinery enquiry works

Describe the woodwork
Room, what is being repaired or fitted, and whether you already have doors, timber or a kitchen supplier. Include the postcode.
Decide if a visit is needed
A like-for-like door may be clear from sizes and photographs. An alcove, a stair or anything out of square usually needs to be seen.
Written scope
You receive what is included, what is supplied by you, and what is excluded, such as decoration, electrics or a structural opening.
Fit and adjust
The work is fitted and adjusted. Ironmongery is checked. If the job grows into fitted furniture, that is quoted as bespoke joinery rather than absorbed quietly.

Questions

Carpentry & joinery: frequently asked questions

Do you have a joinery workshop?

No workshop is claimed. Ryan Group coordinates carpentry and, where the project needs it, a specialist maker. The quotation should say who supplies the finished pieces.

Can you fit a kitchen I have already bought?

Often, yes, for the carpentry element. Plumbing and electrical changes are separate and have to be done by the right trade. Tell us the supplier and whether the units are on site.

Is a carpenter available in Redhill or Reigate?

Those are the commercial pages. Availability is not published as a timetable. Ask with the postcode and the scope, and you will be told if the work can be taken.

When does this become bespoke joinery?

When the job is designed furniture rather than repairs or standard fitting: a library wall, a run of alcove cabinets, a reading nook or a media wall. Use the bespoke joinery page for that brief.
