How it works

Four steps, no surprises

Customer sending a photo of a sticking door on WhatsApp1

Send us a photo

WhatsApp us a picture of the problem and your area. Most jobs can be priced from a photo and a sentence.

Apni Chhat writing out the estimate before any work starts2

We send you an estimate

A price range in writing, before anyone travels. Asking costs nothing.

Apni Chhat carpenter arriving with his plane, chisels and level3

You agree, then our man comes and checks

He reviews the job on site, confirms the final price with you, and only starts once you say yes.

Carpenter checking a finished fitting is square and level4

Job finished, then you pay

We walk it with you when it is done. No advance on standard repairs.

Door will not lock tonight?

A door that will not lock is a security problem, not a carpentry one. Tell us that when you message and we will treat it that way.

  • Say it is a lock or a door that will not secure
  • Send a photo of the lock and the frame
  • Ask about a same-evening slot
Why us

Four things we do differently

We plane for clearance, not just today

A door adjusted in June has to still close in August.

Proper fixings for the wall you have

Block, brick and gypsum each need a different anchor.

Labour and material priced separately

Supply your own timber or hardware if you prefer.

Swung, run and levelled before we go

With a 30-day workmanship warranty.

FAQs

Carpentry questions, answered

My door sticks only in monsoon. Is that fixable permanently?

Yes. The usual fix is planing the swollen edge and sealing the exposed timber so it stops absorbing moisture. Sealing the top and bottom edges — which most original installations skip — makes the biggest difference.

Do you make custom furniture?

We fabricate fitted joinery — wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, storage units — priced per square foot. Free-standing designer furniture is outside what we do.

Can you assemble flat-pack furniture I bought online?

Yes, that is a common booking. Send us a photo of the box or the model name over WhatsApp and we will confirm the price before the visit.

Who supplies the wood?

We can source it and show you the receipt, or you can supply it. Our labour rate does not change either way.

Who supplies the wood and hardware?

Either of us. Supply it yourself and you pay labour only. Let us buy it and you get it at cost with the receipt, and we will tell you honestly which grade is worth paying for and which is not.

Can you match existing woodwork?

Close, usually. Exact matches on old timber are rarely possible, so we will show you the nearest option and let you decide rather than surprising you at the end.

Do you assemble flat-pack bought online?

Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs. Keep the box and the fittings bag - missing hardware is the one thing that stops the job.
