I am a female carpenter who has been running my own business, Smart About Wood, since 2008 and has been working in carpentry for the last seven years, initially apprenticed to a major building maintenance contractor in South East London and latterly as a project manager for a female-run construction and maintenance company.
With particular skills and experience in kitchen fitting; designing, building and installing bespoke furniture and storage solutions; laying solid and laminate flooring; and external work including decking and cladding, I am also happy to give free quotes for small domestic carpentry jobs such as timber repairs and door hanging.
Smart About Wood operates as part of an informal network of local trades people who are dedicated to providing quality services and trading fairly and as such can also provide a comprehensive building and maintenance service for larger projects at affordable prices.

Building understairs cupboard and repairing door frame.
A really fantastic job! Annie was very helpful and full of good ideas, extremely punctual, neat and a pleasure to have in the house. We wanted a self-contained tall cupboard plus shelves for general storage in the understairs space - Annie developed an effective solution from our vague sketch and executed it beautifully. Extra kudos for having to work in a very limited space with wonky angles! Door frame repair was more straightforward, very neatly done. Would definitely employ her again and highly recommend.

Under stair storage, shelving units and storage in bedroom and cabinet in bathroom.
Annie from Smart About Wood did a superb job for my family. She is friendly and approachable and her design skills are really impressive. She has an eye for detail and is a meticulous worker who really cares about the quality of her work. It was a pleasure to have her working for us. She is very trustworthy and even my husband commented on how nice it was to not have noisy workmen in muddy work boots tramping through the house and the toilet seat left up! I heard about her through a friend and won't hesitate to recommend her to my other friends. Thank you Annie.

Help with new home - new doors, locks and variety of other jobs
With no DIY skills whatsoever, it was great to be able to have the help of such a professional and friendly person as Annie to help me sort out my new home. I really cannot recommend her highly enough - she is punctual, conscientious and very skilled.

To erect a wooden pergola in our back garden.
Annie did a great job in testing conditions (it was raining on and off all day). The result was just what we wanted and she even completed it before schedule.

Bespoke under stairs storage
We only had a very vague idea of what we wanted and Annie has transformed this vague idea into something which looks really good and is extremely practical. We are really pleased with the finished results and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a carpenter.
