Cabinet Making

  • Browse the local directory for Cabinet Makers



Cabinet making is the construction and installation of cabinets, carcasses, cupboards, wall units, shelving, drawers, furniture, vanity units, laundry units and bars. Cabinetmakers primarily work with wood however new technologies can see them working with metal, rock or vinyl as well.

Cabinetmakers perform the following tasks, among others:Photo courtesy of Guthrie's Joinery

  • building and repairing custom fixtures or furniture
  • making or repairing flat panel products
  • fitting and assembling prepared components (i.e. flat pack kitchens)
  • prepare drawings from job specifications
  • making layouts and templates
  • operate woodworking equipment
  • cutting and assembling wood and wood substitute components
  • application of veneers, stains, paints, laminates or polish
  • fit hinges, locks, shelves, drawers and latches where appropriate
  • estimation of materials required and cost of project

Cabinetmakers will work with you to help you design the right product for your home and family needs, whatever that product may be (a kitchen, bathroom, wardrobes etc). They will be able to design a product that will suit your budget. However, once you and your professional are in agreement, it is important that you stick with what you have decided as modifications to the original design can be very expensive.

It is also important to ask for quotes so that you have an idea of how much the project will cost. If the work is being carried out in your home, ask for an estimated timeline so that you have an idea of how long the project will take and what kind of inconvenience you can expect (such as not being able to cook while a new kitchen is being installed).

Find out if the cabinetmaker will provide other professionals that may be involved in your job such as plasterers, tilers, plumbers, electricians and painters. This will be especially useful if the cabinetmaker is working on a bathroom or kitchen project. Finally, ask if a guarantee is provided on the work.
