Cheap carpenter needed

I would like to find a cheap carpenter to build me a cabinet similar to house a Wall Bed King bed frame of dimensions:

Dimensions: H 215cm, W 160cm, D 50cm

With double doors, if anyone can direct me to a good carpenter in the London area please send me a PM thank you!:j

    I don't think cheap carpenter & London is something that actually exists. If you want a skilled trade then it comes with a cost especially in London.

    Expect to pay somewhere around the £250 day mark if you can't get somebody to give you a job price.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    I think if there was ever a trade where `cheap` wouldnt be the first word on my mind , it would probably be a chippie , `recommended` might be though

    The only thing i can think to suggest is maybe contacting a local college. You can go to colleges for meals; hairdressing; to arrange holidays, if they teach it they want someone to give their students a chance. The colleges don't give some young kid who knows nothing out on the public, they're well supervised.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
