Carpenter in Bulli
Bulli sits between the escarpment and the beach, and the family homes here keep a carpenter busy — decks, pergolas, fences and the steady list of repairs that come with an older house near the coast.

Do you do bathroom renovations in Bulli?
We do the building and carpentry side of a Bulli bathroom reno — stripout, wall reframing, subfloor and joist repair, shower niches, then the vanity and cabinetry at the end. The waterproofing, tiling, plumbing and electrical are done by the licensed trades, and we work in around them.
In Bulli that subfloor stage is usually the one that decides the job. A lot of the older brick and fibro homes through here and up towards Thirroul have had a tiled floor sitting over a leaking membrane for twenty years, and the timber underneath has quietly gone. It reads dead level from the top and you only find it once the floor comes up.
So we lift it, see how far the rot has run, splice in new treated timber and get the floor flat and solid before the waterproofer gets a look at it. You get a written quote on the carpentry before anything comes apart.
How the carpentry side of a bathroom reno worksHow do I get a bathroom renovation quote in Bulli?
Ring Dave on 0414 007 351 or send the form through and he'll come and look at the room. Quotes are free, done on site and put in writing. We don't price a bathroom off a photo, because what's behind the wall in an older Bulli home is the thing that moves the number.
What you get from us is a quote for the carpentry: strip-out, framing and subfloor repair, new walls if the layout's moving, linings, and the vanity, cabinetry and doors at fit-out. If you want a read on the whole job we'll tell you what the plumber, waterproofer, tiler and sparky are likely to add, and keep ours split out so you can compare quotes like with like.
Small bathrooms go through the same process. A compact ensuite in a Bulli cottage still needs every trade through it, so the carpentry is a fixed lump rather than a per-square-metre thing, and any quote you get should say what happens if there's rot once the tiles are off.
Shower repairs and leaks in Bulli: what a carpenter fixes
The leak itself is a plumber's or waterproofer's job. What we fix is the timber it's been soaking: the bottom plate and studs behind the shower wall, the joists and sheeting under it, and the door frame and skirting that have swelled and gone soft.
A shower that's been weeping for years in a Bulli brick or fibro home usually shows up as a bouncy patch of floor outside the shower, a musty smell, or tiles that sound hollow when you tap them. By the time you notice, the framing behind it is normally wet through.
We open it up, cut out what's gone, splice in treated timber and get the wall and floor solid again before the waterproofer re-membranes and the tiler comes back. That's the order it has to go in, and we'll tell you straight whether it's a patch or a strip-out.
