Who we are
The builder your builder recommends
FR Carpentry is Finn Rudd and a small, dedicated team. Hands-on, craft-led and proud of the homes we help families build across Dorset and Hampshire.
Our story
Built on craft, grown on referrals
Finn trained as a carpenter and never lost the trade sensibility that comes with it: precise, patient and proud of work done properly. Over more than ten years, that approach has grown FR Carpentry from fine joinery into full home extensions, loft conversions and renovations.
We've kept the team small on purpose. It means the person you meet is the person who runs your project, and the standard never slips between the quote and the handover.
Most of our work now comes from recommendations and repeat clients, which is exactly how we like it. The best advert for a builder is a happy homeowner next door.

What we stand for
How we work, and why it matters
Craft first
We started as carpenters and it shows in every join. The details most people never notice are the ones we obsess over.
One team, start to finish
You deal with us, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. One point of contact, one standard, all the way through.
Honest and clear
Clear quotes, clear timelines and straight answers. We'd rather tell you the truth than tell you what you want to hear.
Tidy and respectful
We're working in your home. We keep the site clean, considerate and as calm as a building project can be.
