Questions to ask a cabinet maker

Selecting the right cabinet maker is crucial to achieving the results you desire. With a list of key questions in hand, you'll be sure to find the right fit.

Can you show me some examples of your past work?

Being able to see a cabinet maker's previous creations will help to see if their work aligns with your vision. It may also help to inspire your own project.

All Checkatrade members have a business profile where you can see photos of past work as well as customer reviews.

What sort of joinery do you do?

Most cabinet makers will be able to turn their hand to all sorts of joinery.

If you're after something in particular, for example, cabinets for kitchens, kitchen wall units, or perhaps bespoke kitchen base units, ask what specific experience they have.

What's your availability?

It goes without saying, that good cabinet makers will be booked up far in advance; start your search early to avoid disappointment.

What do you charge?

Typically, cabinet makers will charge in the region of £300 per day.

As a guide, something such as a fitted wardrobe will cost around £1,100to construct and install.

We have plenty more information on the cost of cabinet makers in our carpentry cost guide.

We always recommend getting 2-4 quotes before making your decision and that you request an itemised quote so you can compare like-for-like. Check whether it includes:

• All materials and labour

• Any waste removal, if required

• Making good any areas that need to be disrupted in order to complete the work

Do you offer design services or do I need a design in mind beforehand?

A good cabinet maker will be able to create your design from either a rough sketch, a visual reference, or detailed plans.

Their experience will also be able to help guide and enhance the design.

They should be willing to discuss the optimal wood to use and the best finishes to apply for best results.

Do you have insurance?

It's reassuring to know that the cabinet maker you choose is adequately insured.

Accidents do happen, and when someone is working in your home or garden, you want to know they have the ability to make things right if they do.

This is why all Checkatrade members must have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.

Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

Bespoke cabinets and furniture don't come cheap - you want these items to last a long time.

Ask your cabinet maker if they offer any guarantees. For additional peace of mind, when you book a trade through Checkatrade, their work is guaranteed for up to 12 months. Exclusions and T&Cs apply.
