Carpenters in Colombo do more fitted joinery than structural work: pantry cupboards, wardrobes and built-in units for apartments and townhouses where every inch of a small floor plan has to earn its place.

What to expect

  • Professionals who know the Colombo 1 to 15 zones and can work around apartment building access rules
  • 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 an apartment, measure the lift and the stairwell before ordering anything built off site. A finished wardrobe that will not go up in the lift has to be cut and rejoined on site, which costs money and shows in the finish. Site-built or knock-down construction avoids it.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring in Colombo

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

About Rs 9,000 to Rs 22,000 per running foot depending on material, height and internal fit-out. Melamine sits at the lower end, marine plywood in the middle and solid timber at the top.

Workshop-built gives a better finish but has to fit through the lift and the door. In Colombo apartments, knock-down units assembled in the room are often the practical compromise. Agree which before the carpenter quotes.
