Carpentry in Dubai splits into two jobs priced two different ways. A small repair — a door that will not shut, a drawer runner gone — runs AED 150 to 1,200 as a whole job. Fitted joinery is quoted per linear metre instead, at AED 1,200 to 3,500 for a built-in wardrobe.
Two carpenters measure the same three-metre wardrobe wall. One quotes a rate per metre and names the board. The other sends a single number over WhatsApp with no breakdown, and the two land thousands of dirhams apart.
What does carpentry cost in Dubai?
Repair work in Dubai is quoted as a whole job; fitted joinery is quoted by the running metre. The two never compare as single totals, and most confusion about carpentry quotes starts there. These are the 2026 Dubai ranges.
Ask which unit you are being quoted in before you ask for a total. A wardrobe should arrive as three facts: the rate per metre, the board, and the run measured. A lump sum carrying none of them is where the margin hides. Job-by-job detail is in our Dubai carpenter cost guide.
| Job | Property size | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair or handyman job | Whole job | AED 150 – 1,200 |
| Door hanging or repair | Per door | AED 300 – 500 |
| Skilled carpenter (cabinetry, furniture) | Per hour | AED 150 – 300 |
| Built-in wardrobe, standard | Per linear metre | AED 1,200 – 2,200 |
| Built-in wardrobe, premium finish | Per linear metre | AED 2,200 – 3,500 |
| Kitchen cabinets, in-house joinery | Per linear metre | AED 1,800 – 3,500 |
Prices reflect 2026 averages and may vary by provider, scope, and season.
How are fitted wardrobes priced in Dubai?
Built-in wardrobes and kitchen cabinetry in Dubai are quoted per linear metre, so the rate matters more than the total and you can check the total yourself. At AED 2,000 a metre, a three-metre wardrobe run comes to AED 6,000. The same run in a premium finish at AED 3,000 a metre comes to AED 9,000.
What moves the rate is material and finish, not labour: carcass board and thickness, edge banding, hinge and runner quality, and whether the internals are fixed or adjustable. A quote that gives you a total but hides the per-metre rate has removed the only thing that lets you compare it against another.
What should I ask a carpenter in Dubai before hiring?
Ask these six things before any money moves.
Before you let a carpenter measure your Dubai home
- The DET trade licence number, in writing. No licence means no accountability if the work fails.
- The rate per linear metre, not the total — metres × rate, board type and hardware.
- Which board. If they dodge whether it is moisture-resistant MDF or standard, it is standard.
- Building approval and permitted working hours, checked with your building before the quote, not after the crew is turned away.
- The payment split: a deposit, then the balance on delivery and satisfactory install. All of it upfront funds your job with your risk.
- Why one quote sits about 40% below the rest. The gap is cheaper board, generic hinges or fitting billed later.
A carpenter who will not name the board has already told you which one he is using.

Carpentry in Dubai — common questions
How much does a carpenter cost in Dubai?
A carpenter in Dubai charges AED 150 to 1,200 for a small repair, quoted as a whole job. Fitted joinery is priced per linear metre instead: AED 1,200 to 2,200 a metre for a standard built-in wardrobe, and AED 2,200 to 3,500 a metre for a premium finish.
How much does a carpenter charge per day in Dubai?
Carpentry in Dubai is normally quoted per job or per linear metre rather than by the day. Where a day rate is used, a half day of around four hours lands near AED 600 to 700 and a full day near AED 1,000 to 1,200. A skilled carpenter bills AED 150 to 300 an hour.
How much does a built-in wardrobe cost per metre in Dubai?
A built-in wardrobe in Dubai costs AED 1,200 to 2,200 per linear metre as standard, and AED 2,200 to 3,500 per metre for a premium finish. Multiply the rate by the run: at AED 2,000 a metre a three-metre wardrobe is AED 6,000.
What is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner in Dubai?
In Dubai a carpenter works on site: hanging and easing doors, replacing runners, assembling flat-pack, mounting shelving. A joiner manufactures in a workshop, which is where built-in wardrobes and kitchen cabinetry are made before fitting. The two are different skills, so say which one your job needs.
How do I find a good carpenter in Dubai?
Ask a Dubai carpenter for the DET trade licence number in writing first, then for the rate per linear metre and the board being used rather than a single total. Check your building's approval rules and working hours before the quote. Treat a quote about 40% below the rest as a warning.
