Carpentry in Dubai
Carpentry is a licensed activity on our Dubai DET trade licence, covering door hanging and repair, ironmongery, fitted wardrobes and kitchen units, skirting and architrave, and general joinery. Small repairs are attended as a callout; fitted joinery is quoted as project work.

What people call us about
If any of these describe your situation, you are in the right place. Describing the symptom is enough; you do not need to know the cause.
A door that catches on the frame or will not latch
Wardrobe doors out of alignment, or runners that have failed
Kitchen units swollen at the base after a slow leak
A door closer that has stopped holding a fire door shut
Carpentry questions, answered
Straight answers with numbers in them. If the honest answer is that you do not need the work, we will say that too.
Get a quoteCan you make a bespoke wardrobe?
We install fitted joinery and we repair and adapt existing units. Manufacture of bespoke furniture from scratch is not on our licence, and we would rather say so than subcontract it without telling you.
Do you work on glass or aluminium doors?
No. Glass and aluminium is not one of the ten activities on our licence. We will tell you at the point of enquiry rather than at the point of invoice.
