Kandy has a long tradition of timber work, and the hill country's older houses use far more structural and decorative timber than the coastal plain. Carpenters here handle restoration as often as new joinery.

What to expect

  • Professionals who can reach steep hill lanes and work in the Kandy damp
  • Measurements taken on site rather than from a drawing
  • The material named in writing: aluminium, melamine, plywood or solid timber
  • Hardware specified, since hinges and channels decide how long it lasts

Helpful tips

In a damp hill house, insist on properly dried timber and full sealing on every face. Kandy's humidity swells under-dried wood after fitting, and a beautifully made door that jams every wet season is almost always a moisture-content problem rather than a workmanship one.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring in Kandy

Questions about finding a tradesperson in Kandy? Here are the answers homeowners ask most.

The timber is absorbing moisture and swelling. Sealing every face, including the top and bottom edges, slows it considerably. Planing a door down in the wet season leaves a gap in the dry one, so seal before you plane.

Yes, restoration is well established here given the age of the housing stock. Repair of a sound frame or panel is usually far cheaper than replacement and keeps the character of an older house.
