Day Rate Work
General Domestic Carpentry
My Day Rate for General Domestic Carpentry work is £275 FOR AN 8 HOUR DAY.
I know this may seem expensive, however, the tool kit that I use allows me to work quickly and accurately. I pride myself with providing a very high quality service that in reality, is very good value for money.
For very small work, consultations and design visits, I charge £70 for the first hour, and then £35 per hour afterwards.
On top of the labour cost, I charge accordingly for any parking costs and any materials or disposable items supplied from company stock.
Kitchen Fitting
My Day Rate for Kitchen Fitting Services is £300 for an 8 hour day + the cost of router and circular saw blades that are used, as a significant amount of thses can be got through when fitting worktops. The reason for the increase in price when compared to general domestic carpentry is the considerable increase in specialist equipment that needs to be used for this sort of work. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
qUOTED wORK
I will happily provide quotes for fitted furniture projects. As a rough quide, I charge a starting price of £1500 per meter in width, for bespoke cabinets and wardrobes with a Spraypainted Finish. So, for example, if you were to need a set of alcove units with shelves above them, on either side of a chimney breast, and the width of the alcoves is 1 meter on either side then the calculation would be 2 x 1500 and therefore the price would be approximately £3000
If a wardrobe has top cupboards, I add £250 per meter in width, so a 1 meter wide wardrobe with top cuboards would be approximately £1500 + £250 = £1750
Factors that can effect this price, include materials choices, such as timber, paint and hardware, additional features such as drawers and lighting and any requirements for complex design work. Another factor which often goes unconsidered, but really does need to be taken into account, is the accessibility of a property and the ease of access to a room.
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions. I try my very best to be a straight forward as possible, and to learn about my customers requirements.
Company Stock
Fast paced, modern carpentry, requires quick access to a whole range of tools, fixtures and fittings, glues, cutting blades, and all sorts of other supplies. At Hykel Carpentry, I aim to arrive at a job with an incredibly well stocked van, and do my utmost to be as prepared as possible.
The list of these supplies that I cary is quite extensive and inclues but is not limited to;
Screws, of all sots of sizes, brackets, domino tennons, biscuit joints, wood glue, super glue, wall plugs, cabinet hinges, door hinges, tubular latches, a selection of cabinet handles, various grades of sandpaper, batteries for lazer levels, nails, router blades, plunges saw blades, multitool blades, drill bits, finishing caulk, undercoat paint, varnish and natural finishing oils.
The more I know about a project, the more prepared I can be.
Materials
When I am buying materials specifically for a project, I charge for any time involved in sourcing them, and add 10% to the purcase cost to cover banking costs and accounting time.
