We're looking to update our bathroom.

Russ' has done an excellent bathroom's renovation at our place. He and his team (electrician and plumber) were really professional. They worked very efficiently, without any delays. The full renovation was finished in 4 weeks time. Our special thanks to Russ, as he was managing with all our appliances' deliveries on certain times, when they required for installation. Also Russ is very good with helping to make a right choice for appliances, having good taste and design imagination. Big thanks!

Bobby as Wellington Handyman is extremely skillful and immensely dedicated. His work ethic is very impressive and once he gives his word, he will work day n night to make sure the job completes on time. I have never seen such a dedicated and skillful handyman who will do anything to keep his word. Quality of work is excellent. If he makes any mistake, he will rectify it at no additional cost. I have have been very impressed n have high regard for Bobby

Hikaia undertook several jobs for us, including the installation of a vanity unit in our bathroom, replacement of a gate fence post, repair of porch posts, and some rust treatment.

Install gib, shower, vanity and plaster

Bathroom Renovation Tawa, Wellington

Mike and his team were fantastic, great communication, identified issues that all of the other builders didn't comment on or weren't interested in fixing. Mike called in other experts like the shower installer, plumber and plaster to make sure the work was to a high standard. The chap who specialised in the shower noted that our other shower was incorrectly install (thanks to a well know Bathroom installer). The team were very professional. I have some other work I will get them to do.

The job went well and the quality looks fine. I got worried at one stage that the job was going to stretch out over time. This could have been rectified with a clear, visible tight programme, especially when we were without a shower for the period of the job.

Carpenters In Wellington: You Handy Home Builder

They’re the people that build our homes, offices and great buildings: they’re Wellington’s carpenters. Find out all about them here.

Carpenters sure are some of the handiest fellows you'll get to know. Here in Wellington, carpenters are the ones to look to when you’re building or fixing your home or place of business.

From the beautiful carpentry of popular wedding spot Old St. Paul’s to the paranormal hotspots of Kinder House and Ewelme Cottage in Ayr Street, Parnell, there is examples of fine carpentry across the city.

If you too need some fine carpentry work for your home or business then read on.

What can a carpenter do?

Carpenters are the "jack of all trades" in the building industry. Although they are known for working primarily with timber, they can also work with plywood, concrete, wallboards, brick and steel.

These builders are able to erect structures, repair existing work, and install new building works. They work with you throughout the foundations phase until you’re ready to paint.

Common jobs for carpenters include:

Installing new walls
Repairing wooden cladding
Building pergolas and children’s playhouses
Building home extensions
Installing decking

What qualifications does a carpenter have?

A carpenter is not obligated to receive any formal training, however a great deal of these tradespeople have completed their three to four year apprenticeship, studying the National Certificate in Carpentry through the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation.

A carpenter with the correct qualifications will charge on average around $56 an hour, whereas unskilled carpenters may be cheaper, but you should check carefully the quality of their work before hiring.

How to land a good carpenter

Using Builderscrack is a great way for carpenters to find you. Developing an ad that accurately describes the job is easy when you include a picture, what materials you’d like to use, an estimate of the size of the area, and any other requirements you deem necessary.

Once your job has been posted on Builderscrack in the carpentry trade section you will start receiving enquiries from interested carpenters. Chat to each one about the job and be sure to ask for references and pictures of previous work to follow up on. When you feel like you’re happy with one or more, get them out to your house or business so they can draw up an accurate quote for the works to be done. When you’re ready, draw up a contract together and you’ll be good to go!
