Why your area matters
A carpenter loses money sitting in traffic. One based in Horsham may not want a single door in Horley, and one in East Grinstead may think twice about a small repair in Bewbush.
Name your part of town in the form and the call comes from someone who works nearby. They are more likely to say yes to a small job, and more likely to have worked on a house just like yours.
Three steps to a price
Say what needs doing
Put your name, number and area in the form, then describe the job in your own words. Rough sizes help, such as how many doors or how wide the alcove is.
Take a call from a local carpenter
A carpenter who works in your part of Crawley rings you at the time you picked. They ask a few questions and, for most jobs, arrange to come and measure up.
Decide in your own time
You get a price for the work. Ask for it in writing, compare it if you like, and only go ahead if you are happy. There is no charge for asking.

House types across Crawley
Crawley was built area by area, and each one has homes of its own period. That is useful for carpentry, because houses of the same age tend to need the same work.
The 1950s areas. West Green, Northgate, Three Bridges, Langley Green, Pound Hill, Ifield and Southgate are mostly brick terraces and semis from the first years of the new town. Expect original softwood stairs, plain skirting and frames that have settled. Common jobs are new internal doors, fitted wardrobes and frame repairs.
The 1960s and 1970s areas. Tilgate, Gossops Green, Furnace Green, Broadfield and Bewbush have more varied layouts, some with open-plan stairs and chipboard floors upstairs. Balustrade changes and floor repairs come up often.
Maidenbower and Forge Wood. These newer homes need less repair. Owners here more often ask for storage, decking and upgrades from the builder's standard finish.
The old villages. Ifield village, Worth and the villages beyond the town, such as Charlwood and Rusper, have cottages and farmhouses that are centuries old. Timber sizes are not standard and some buildings are listed, so the work is slower and more careful.
Just over the county line
Crawley is in West Sussex, but Surrey begins at Gatwick. Horley and Charlwood are both in Surrey. Planning and building control questions there go to a different council from Crawley's, so check which one covers your address before any work that needs approval.

Common questions
Is my village covered?
If you live within a few miles of Crawley, fill in the form and name your village. Places along the A264 towards Horsham and East Grinstead, and south down the A23 towards Handcross, are all near enough to ask about.
Can I ask about a flat or a rented property?
Yes. Say in the form if it is a flat, which floor it is on and if there is parking nearby. If you are a landlord, say who the carpenter should ring to get in.
Name your area and describe the job
Carpentry jobs are cheaper and quicker when the carpenter is already working near you. The only way to find out who is free in your part of town is to ask.
The form is free to send and you are not tied to anything.
