Joiners and carpenters in Leeds
Internal doors that stick, a staircase that creaks on every step, skirting that needs replacing after a new floor, or a fitted wardrobe for an awkward alcove. Joinery covers everything timber in a house, and a lot of it is the finish people notice first.
We take on first-fix joinery for building projects, such as stud walls, floor joists and roof timbers, and second-fix work in finished rooms: doors, architrave, skirting, stairs and fitted furniture.
Scope of work
- Internal and external doors hung
- Skirting, architrave and window boards
- Stud walls and partitions
- Staircase repairs and new balustrades
- Fitted wardrobes, shelving and alcove units
- Floorboards, joist repairs and timber floors
- Sash and casement window repairs
Common requests
- Doors catching on the frame or dropped on their hinges
- Spongy or creaking floorboards
- Rot along the bottom of a door or window frame
- Gaps along the skirting after a new floor has gone down
How the job is handled
Everything is measured before it is priced. For fitted furniture you get a simple drawing with sizes before anything is cut.
Older Leeds houses rarely have a straight wall or a level floor, so the work is scribed to fit the room as it actually is.
In Leeds
A lot of Leeds housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian, with deep skirting, panelled doors and timber sash windows. Where those are worth keeping, repair comes before replacement.

Can you match original Victorian skirting and architrave?
Often, yes. Many common profiles are still made, and where one is not, a close match can be sourced or made. Bring a photo or an offcut to the survey.
Will you fit doors I have bought?
Yes, as long as they suit the opening or can be trimmed to it. Fire doors go in with the correct frames, seals and closers.
Can a sash window be repaired rather than replaced?
In many cases. New cords, beads, draught-proofing and a repair to any rotten sections can bring an old sash back into use for far less than a replacement.
Is joinery included on extension jobs?
Yes. Roof timbers, stud walls, doors and finishing joinery are part of the building quote, so there is no separate joiner to find.
