Joiner? Carpenter? Handyman?

We are coming to the the last phase of our extension and renovation job. We've been so lucky with our build team and all the tradespeople that have worked with us so far.

That said, they are not going to be able to fit out things like our walk in wardrobes. We have three to be built, one of them fairly straightforward and I'm hoping for Ikea's PAX in there, but the other two are tricky. One is a whole small room in the attic with vaulted walls, and the third will have to be more like a built in wardrobe setup on a very awkward pine end with partly vaulted walls.

I don't know who to contact for this!
Companies like Sharp are way out of our price range and DH and I don't have the skill base for this at all, especially the attic wardrobes.

The joiner building our stairs is experienced, but very expensive. Who can I get a quote from?!

A joiner/carpenter (aren't they the same thing)? A handyman will not be skilled enough.
Carpenters are expensive and if you want a proper job worth it.

For any bespoke stuff you need a carpenter and it will be expensive even if you do it in MDF.

For a small room you could kit it out with Ikea storage solutions for inside cupboards.

There are places like jali.co.uk where you can design your own wardrobe to bespoke sizes but they're only straight up and down.
