How CRF can help

Practical carpentry, properly finished

CRF Services Ltd carries out focused residential carpentry where accuracy and a neat finish matter. The service is suited to improving a room, replacing worn joinery or adding useful storage without turning the job into a large building contract.

Good fit: A good match for room-by-room upgrades, replacement joinery and practical bespoke pieces.

Typical work includes

  • Internal doors and frames
  • Skirting boards and architraves
  • Shelving and simple fitted storage
  • Timber repairs and adjustments

Loft ladders and hatches

Carpentry around the house includes fitting a loft ladder or hatch: enlarging the opening, trimming the joists properly and hanging an insulated hatch door so the loft becomes easy and safe to reach. Partition walls are covered in the stud wall cost guide.

Common questions

Carpentry questions answered

Hanging a single internal door typically costs around 80 to 150 pounds in labour, more if the frame needs work or the door has to be trimmed to an out of square opening.

Yes. Panelling to hallways, stairwells and living rooms is regular work, set out so the panels line up sensibly with sockets, switches and door frames.

Yes. Old trim can be removed and replaced room by room, with profiles matched to existing details wherever a suitable match is available.

Simple fitted shelving and alcove storage can be planned and built on site, which is usually neater than trying to make a shop-bought unit fit.

Where the timber is sound, repairing and making good is often cheaper and less disruptive than full replacement, and it will be suggested if it is the better option.

Either way works. Danny can supply and price the materials, or fit doors and timber you have already bought.
