Not all carpenters are licensed or insured, so it’s important to check before hiring. In many regions, a licence is only required for structural work or jobs over a certain value. However, even for small projects, hiring a licensed carpenter helps ensure the work complies with building codes and safety standards. Insurance is also critical — carpenters should hold public liability insurance to cover property damage or injury. Some also carry personal injury insurance or workers’ compensation. Always ask to see credentials and policy details if unsure. It’s better to confirm upfront than risk complications during or after the job.

Yes, carpenters are highly skilled at handling repairs and maintenance on timber structures and fittings. This includes fixing damaged doors, windows, skirting boards, frames, fences, decks, stairs, pergolas and cabinetry. They can replace rotted timber, adjust misaligned doors or strengthen worn components. Carpenters can also inspect structures for wear, safety concerns or pest damage and recommend solutions. Preventative maintenance can extend the lifespan of your timber features, so regular check-ups are worthwhile. Whether it’s minor touch-ups or full replacements, a good carpenter will restore the strength, function and appearance of timber elements across both residential and commercial properties.

Definitely. Many carpenters are experienced in commercial construction, from shop fit-outs and office partitions to framework for larger buildings. Commercial carpentry often involves working with architects, project managers and other trades to meet deadlines and code requirements. Tasks may include installing wall systems, suspended ceilings, flooring, cabinetry and framing. Materials and timelines are typically stricter in commercial jobs, so efficiency and reliability are key. Commercial carpenters may also have extra training or certifications to work on specific sites. Whether it’s a retail space, warehouse or office renovation, a skilled carpenter can help create a safe, functional and well-finished environment.
