Carpentry and handyman work covers an enormous range — from assembling a flat-pack wardrobe to building a custom staircase. EzeAla matches the right skill level to your job. Simple assembly jobs are matched to general handypeople (faster, more affordable). Structural carpentry, bespoke joinery, and fitted furniture are routed to specialist carpenters.

**What multi-trade handypeople can do**

A skilled handyperson can handle most small-to-medium maintenance jobs in a single visit — hanging doors, fitting shelves, minor plastering, fixing skirting boards, assembling furniture, and basic tiling. Combining jobs in one visit saves you time and call-out costs.

**When you need a specialist carpenter**

For structural work — loft conversions, stud walls, staircase repairs, fitted kitchen installation — you need a qualified carpenter with insurance that covers structural work. EzeAla's job description AI flags when specialist skills are required and routes accordingly.
