If you’ve ever tried to DIY a shelf and ended up with more nails in the wall than in the wood, you know carpentry is an art best left to the pros. It requires a certain skill, creativity, and attention to detail to turn a few planks of wood into something functional.
Luckily, Liverpool is full of skilled tradesmen who’ve mastered the craft. But when it comes to craftsmanship and precision, a few stand head and shoulders above the rest.
From custom furniture builds to flawless home repairs, these carpenters don’t just get the job done—they nail it every single time!
Here are the best carpenters in Liverpool you can count on for quality and reliability.
How much does carpentry service cost in Liverpool?
Carpentry service cost in Liverpool varies significantly by job, with hourly rates ranging from around £20 to £60 per hour, depending on the carpenter’s experience and the complexity of the project.
1. KM Joinery
Address: 24 Lyra Rd, Waterloo
Phone: +44 7395 128423
Business hours: Mon-Sat: 8 AM – 5:30 PM
Paul (KM Joinery’s owner) is highly experienced in first and second-fix joinery, covering the crucial phases that make a home’s features durable and long-lasting.
We found his first fix joinery services all-encompassing, covering everything from door casings to floor joists. He has the necessary skills and experience to build all the hidden structures of your home.
His second joinery services are just as impressive. He can install almost all the visible structures, including doors, windows, and floors.
What’s really impressive about him is his skills in building bespoke cupboards and wardrobes that fit awkward spaces well. According to the customers we spoke with, the designs are practical and well thought out.
It’s also reassuring that he holds public liability insurance. It brings customers peace of mind that they won’t be dealing with hefty costs if Paul accidentally damages their property.
The only limitation is his availability. Since he works alone, booking him can take time. Larger projects also move a little slower.
Pleasure to work with
“Paul was a pleasure to work with. I wanted a bespoke cupboard built in under my stairs. Paul came out, measured up and quoted for the job, with no pressure to go a head with him. We chose Paul for the job and we are delighted with our new cupboard. Nothing was too much trouble and Paul made sure that we were happy with the design and his finished work. He worked hard from start to finish, tidy and respectful of my home. Will not hesitate recommending Paul and using him again in the future.”

I’m very pleased with the work
“I am very pleased with the work Paul has done for me. He phoned because he was going to be slightly late due to the weather. He worked continuously without any breaks for 5 hours. The job was not easy because it was making a skirting board for a curved bay which had to be crafted from a straight piece of material However he did this really well finishing the job off properly and to my satisfaction. I would employ Paul again for any other work and recommend him to others.”

2. Independent Joinery
Address: 81 Church Rd, Old Swan
Phone: +44 7842 896870
Business hours:
- Mon-Fri: 8 AM – 4 PM
- Sat: 9 AM – 12 PM
For those who care about their furniture aesthetic, Independent Joinery is the ideal business to consult. They’re especially good at blending traditional and modern design elements.
Their focus is on bespoke joinery, and they do it really well. They can build anything, from your kitchen furniture needs to eye-catching alcoves in your living room or bedroom.
We found their cabinet work particularly impressive. Many of their customers told us that the team is able to customise cabinets that fit the space and style of their living room and bedroom.
We also recommend them to people who want to maximise their space as they’re good at making use of awkward areas. For example, they’ve once made a custom-fit shelf in a vacant space under the stairs.
The only complaint we’ve heard is about their turnaround time. Bigger or complex projects took a really long time to complete.
I can’t recommend him highly enough
“David helped immediately when I needed a joiner to fit two doors last year after our previous kitchen fitter bailed on the responsibility. I went on check a trade and found David. David fitted 6 doors for me that were all cut to size and fitted perfectly. Fast forward a year, I have moved and asked David to come and shave 4 doors, hang 2 TV brackets and cut to size a bath panel, again, all done with perfection and David’s housekeeping was to a high standard and he always cleaned up after himself and you’d never know he’s worked in your house. David was friendly, easygoing, and very professional in his craft. I can not recommend him highly enough, and if you are looking for a joiner, David would/should be the person to call.”
– Jonathan Shields, Google Review
He goes above and beyond
“We’ve had David in twice now for odd jobs and to sand our original floorboards. He goes above and beyond with detail and takes extra care to clean up after. He’s also very understanding of our slight obsession with retaining and replicating original features in our house and has worked up designs for future projects with the same excitement. He’s also a lovely guy and a pleasure to have in our home. Will absolutely be getting him back in for further projects.”

3. Beechpark Joinery & Building
Phone: +44 7488 590742
Business hours: Mon-Sun: 8 AM – 6:30 PM
One of Beechpark’s clear advantages over competitors is their daily operation. They work seven days a week, allowing them to finish projects relatively quickly.
They have impressive skills in building media units, so we recommend them for those who want to have a home theatre in their living rooms. They take care of everything too, from cable management to installing built-in features like shelves.
We also love that they go beyond just joinery services. They can also take on much larger-scale bespoke carpentry projects, such as house extensions. They have experience adding kitchens and bedrooms seamlessly to already built spaces.
We also found their loft conversions impressive. One person we spoke to commended them for transforming his dusty attic into a working station.
The only drawback is that they sometimes outsource people, which might result in inconsistent quality.
Highly recommend
“I was new to Liverpool and knew no one, bought a lovely little Victoria house that needed a full makeover, Beechpark Joinery & Building came highly recommended and I couldn’t be happier. Reliable, punctual, tidy, and the workmanship is second to none! Ben was amazing from beginning to end, gutted and reinstalled the new Kitchen, installed new wardrobes and hand built two Bespoke Units. He introduced me to a team of skilled artisans from Plasterers, Electricians, Plumbers, Flooring and Decorators who all in turn performed miracles, in 6 Months I had a fully refurnished house that I can call home, all thanks to Ben of Beechpark Joinery & Building that I can now highly recommend too.”

I have my perfect kitchen!
“After a lot of searching for a reliable company to remodel my kitchen I chose to go with Beechpark joinery which I’m over the moon I did. Ben is a professional. a good honest lad he was upfront about everything & listened to what I wanted. A side from that he’s a lovely person to deal with and reply’s to you within a few hours of texting and has cracking personality. The quality of his work is outstanding (I’m very fussy) the team of workmen he brought were brilliant all very clean & take high pride in their work. Especially plumper Tom & Floor Tom. I’ve had no issues with anything. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in future projects. I have my perfect kitchen!”

4. Preferred Joinery
Address: 7 Head St
Phone: +44 151 707 9999
Business hours: Mon-Fri: 8:15 AM – 4:30 PM
We were impressed by Preferred Joinery’s longevity in this business. Having served the Liverpool area for over 28 years, they’ve built a pretty reliable reputation among locals.
They specialised in bespoke joinery services using timber, which is nice because it’s a guaranteed durable material. They can build a custom-made door, window, and gate that fits your home’s features.
Their expertise in period properties is even more impressive. Every furniture they build for these properties is bespoke, so it complements the old-school design.
What’s even better about their conservation joinery services is that they handle everything. They’ll coordinate with the conservation officers and councils from start to finish, relieving you of stress.
Many clients also appreciate their long replacement guarantee period. Some people we talked to hired them because of their reassuring 10-year warranty.
We’re just disappointed at how limited their material options are. As stated above, they specialised in using timber, but they don’t use other materials aside from it.
We are really pleased
“We had 6 hardwood double glazed sash windows constructed and installed by the Preferred Joinery team and we couldn’t be more pleased with them. They look absolutely fantastic and have really improved the look of our home and are perfectly in keeping with the original style – but warmer and safer! The internal finishing off by the fitters was exceptionally high standard and we are really pleased :)”
– Chris Wright, Google Review
Excellent service
“I can only go by what is shown on Youtube, I find them to be an excellent business in both the work they do and they way they carry themselves. From customer comments to the openness shown on their YT channel, they are the place to go to for professional service and a high calibre product.”

5. Liverpool Joinery Services Ltd
Address: 18 Newark Cl
Phone: +44 151 721 0790
Business hours:
- Mon-Fri: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Sat: 9 AM – 1 PM
Most Liverpool Joinery Services’ clients we spoke to appreciate their free on-site consultation. This is so much better than visiting the office because this actually allows the carpenters to see the space and recommend solutions that would work.
Their range of services related to decking is also impressive. They can treat your decks, install sleepers for a stronger foundation, and repair any other damage beneath.
We were even more impressed to learn that they’re qualified to install and inspect fire doors in homes and businesses. It’s rare to find carpenters with this qualification, and it adds convenience since you won’t have to look for another contractor.
The landlords we spoke to were extremely satisfied with their compliance services. They value the convenience of having one company handle plumbing, fireproofing, and lock changes every time a tenant leaves.
However, we noticed that they don’t offer bespoke services. So, they’re not the ideal company to contact when it comes to custom-made furniture.
We love the result
“We were looking for decking for our new home, Richard came and gave us a very fair quote. Didn’t take a penny until the job was done which made us feel at ease. I wish I could put pictures on here to show what a fantastic job he did, he suggested some different options which made it better and even gave us tips on after care. If you’re looking for a top class decking job at fair prices, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. We hated our garden before and now we love it.”
– Ieuan Pryce, Google Review
Looking forward to working with him again
“Richard fitted 8 fire doors and frames in a block of four flats that I own, a conversion of a Victorian house. The job was far from straightforward and Richard spent a great deal of time ensuring that it was completed to the highest standard. As a result of his professionalism and patience, the installations were passed by the Fire Door Assessor, a guarantee of high quality workmanship. I am very happy in the knowledge that the excellent job that he did ensures the safety of my tenants. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard for any joinery task and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
