Why It's Hard to Find Carpenters in Kent

Carpenters are needed at multiple programme stages — first fix, second fix, and fit-out — creating overlapping demand. Skilled and reliable carpenters are quickly committed on active programmes.

Kent rates are competitive for the South East — proximity to London and strong logistics demand supports solid day rates across all trades.
