Carpenter & Builder — Inner West Sydney
Structural carpentry for the Inner West's federation homes, renovations, and new builds.
The Inner West has more pre-war and federation homes per square kilometre than almost anywhere else in Sydney. That means more original timber floors, more subfloors that have been bearing load for eighty years, more walls that have shifted, more kitchens that need opening up, and more decks and pergolas being added to narrow Balmain and Leichhardt blocks where every centimetre counts.
We work across the Inner West on structural framing, wall removal, subfloor repairs, decking, pergolas, fit-out, and restumping. The work is the same regardless of the suburb — above-standard, properly fixed, built to last.
Decking & Pergolas
Hardwood and composite decking built on correctly sized framing. Pergolas for narrow inner-west blocks where every metre matters.
Wall Removal
Load bearing and structural wall removal for open-plan renovations — with the ceiling still attached when we're done.
Restumping
Stump replacement and floor levelling for the Inner West's federation and interwar homes — before the marble rolls to the corner.
Wall Framing & Fit Out
Structural framing and internal carpentry for renovations, extensions, and new builds across the Inner West.
Old homes in the Inner West are not the same as new builds. Timber moves. Stumps rot. Load paths change when kitchens get opened up. We understand how these homes are built, where they fail, and how to fix them properly rather than over the top of the problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all suburbs across the Inner West?
Yes. Balmain, Rozelle, Leichhardt, Five Dock, Drummoyne, Concord, Lilyfield, Annandale, Glebe, Newtown, Marrickville, Petersham, Stanmore, and Enmore. Same rate across the Inner West — no suburb surcharges.
Do you work on federation and interwar homes in the Inner West?
Regularly. Federation cottages and interwar bungalows have specific structural characteristics — original timber floors, close-spaced stumps, low subfloor clearance, framing that has moved over decades. These aren't the same as new builds and we don't treat them the same way.
Can you build a deck on a narrow Balmain or Leichhardt block?
Yes. Inner West blocks tend to be narrow with rear access constraints and not much flat ground to work with. We've built decks and pergolas on sites where a standard approach doesn't fit. We'll work out what the site allows before we quote.
How quickly can you quote for work in the Inner West?
We work regularly in the area and can typically get out for a quote within a week. Call 0450 605 080 for current availability.
