## Content

## In Short
Kandua has added carpentry to its home services marketplace in South Africa. Customers can book vetted carpenters for common woodwork jobs and repairs.

## What Happened
[Kandua](/kandua) announced that customers can now book vetted carpentry professionals on its platform. The service covers built-in cupboards, wardrobes and shelving, door repairs and hanging, window frames, decks, skirtings, trim, and general woodwork maintenance.

The company said the booking flow is simple. A customer describes the job, receives a quote from a top-rated professional, and then books a time.

Carpentry joins existing categories on Kandua, including plumbing, electrical, handyman, and painting services. This positions Kandua as a broader home services marketplace, not just a single trade directory.

Kandua also highlighted a key issue in the local market. Carpentry is not a regulated trade in South Africa, meaning there is no statutory licence requirement and no certificate of compliance. In plain terms, anyone can advertise as a carpenter. Kandua is leaning on vetting, customer reviews, and visible ratings to reduce risk for homeowners.

## Why It Matters
Home services platforms win or lose on trust. Carpentry is a high-variation category, the final quality depends on skill, materials, and fit, and fixes can be expensive if done wrong.

By adding vetted carpenters, Kandua expands into a frequent, repeat-use segment. Many homes need ongoing woodwork repairs and upgrades, from doors that stick to outdoor timber structures that weather over time.

It also clarifies the “carpenter vs handyman” decision for customers. Handyman work is usually small, general fixes. Carpentry is specialist wood cutting, fitting, and joinery work. Clear scoping can reduce job disputes and improve quote accuracy.

For independent carpenters, the move could mean more inbound leads and a stronger reputation layer through verified reviews and ratings.
