What subcontract carpentry means here
The Same Carpenter, Your Whole Carpentry Package
Subcontract carpentry means joining your site to take on the carpentry package as its own scope: first fix through to second fix, and structural carpentry where the job needs it. It is quoted as price work or day rate, whichever suits how you run the job, so it slots into an existing programme rather than being run as a separate homeowner job. On bigger jobs subcontractors are brought in to help, but the carpentry package is carried by the same carpenter throughout, with eight years in the trade behind it, the last two of them trading as Bespoke Builds Carpentry.
- First fix and second fix carried out by the same carpenter, so nothing is lost between stages
- Quoted as price work or day rate, whichever suits how you run the job
- £5m public liability cover, so we can go straight onto an active site

Pricing
How Carpentry Packages Are Priced
Every carpentry package is priced after seeing the job
The run of first fix, the amount of second fix, and whether it suits price work or a day rate all depend on the site. We look at the scope with you and put the price in writing before anything is booked in.
- Priced as price work or day rate, whichever suits your programme
- A written quote before anything is booked in
A carpentry package on a refurb or a new-build plot covers too much ground for a fixed rate card, so it is priced after we have seen the scope.

The same process whether it is a two-day price job or a full refurb.
Get in touch
Call, text or WhatsApp with the scope, or send over the drawings.

A written price, as price work or day rate.

Excellent service, very punctual very tidy, craftsmanship above expectations. genuinely very happy to deal with Alex any time. Sincerely recommend this company it's very refreshing to see a trade person who is proud of his craftsmanship. He is really an artist did not leave a spec of dust Thank you Alex
Nick F.
Alex is fantastic, really diligent and a great guy to have help with a project. He has just laid a solid wooden floor for me. It looks brilliant. The trouble is I'm not sure it's such a great idea to give him a great review as it will make him even more popular and in demand
John B.
What a find a decent ,hardworking person who loves his trade and it shows in his workmanship absolutely excellent. Will be recommending him to anyone who wants any sort of carpentry job. On a final note very reasonably priced for the craftsmanship.

What Builders Ask Before Bringing Us On
Answered here, so it does not need asking on site.
Will carpentry hold up the programme?
We agree the timescale at the quote and price the job as price work or day rate, so it fits round your other trades.
Will the site be left in a state?
Dust extraction and protection for floors and access are standard, and the area is left tidy at the end of each day.
What if something is not right after you have gone?
If something is not right after the job is finished, we come back and put it right.
More About Subcontract Carpentry
Structural carpentry on a subcontract package is carried out to the specification the job requires. A subcontract carpenter's job is to build to that specification accurately, not to hold the building control relationship.
Whether a carpentry package suits price work or a day rate usually comes down to how fixed the scope is. A clearly drawn, fixed scope suits price work. A job that is likely to change as it goes, or one being run alongside several other trades, often suits a day rate instead. Multiple site visits before the quote are how that is worked out, rather than guessed at.
The most common thing that slows a carpentry package on a refurb is not the carpentry itself but what it is waiting on: access, the building being properly dried in, or another trade running late. None of that changes what the carpentry costs to do, only when it can be done, which is why the quote is for the job rather than for a fixed date.
For a builder or main contractor looking for a carpentry subcontractor, get in touch with the scope or drawings and it will be looked at properly rather than quoted off a phone call.
