About Andrew Smith Carpenter, Buckhurst Hill, IG9 6BU

Welcome to Andrew Smith, Carpenter (formerly known as Smudge Creation).

My name is Andrew Smith and I have been interested in carpentry, designing and creating bespoke furniture and working with wood since I was a very young child. One of my earliest memories is of a toolbox received one Christmas from my Grandfather with ‘Handy Andy’ stencilled on the side.

I qualified for my City & Guilds in carpentry in 1990 and also did a City & Guilds in interior design in 2000. I worked making radiator covers and joinery for my family's firm until 2003 when I became self employed. I joined the Guild of Master Craftsmen in 2008.

I’d like to think that I specialise in fitted furniture and storage solutions such as wardrobes, alcove shelving, cupboards as well as bespoke furniture. Please look at the photos on my website and if you can't see anything resembling the idea you have in mind, then please contact me and I'm sure we'll be able to work together and succeed at creating your imagined item to your exact specification.

I also carry out all other kinds of carpentry work such as door hanging, decks, flooring, skirtings etc.

If it’s wood, anything’s possible!

Thanks,
Andrew Smith.

I can create the following:

  • Radiator Covers
  • Bespoke Study furniture
  • Bookcases
  • Alcove Shelving (with or without floating shelves)
  • Bedroom furniture
  • Bespoke furniture
  • One-off items to your design and specifications

I offer free quotes and estimates. Please visit my website for further information on how I can help you.

Please contact me today to discuss your requirements or for free friendly, professional and helpful advice. I look forward to hearing from you.

Please mention Trustatrader when calling. Thank you.

    "Andy quoted a good price and did an excellent job. He kept me informed on timing (and started and finished the job early) and left everything clean and tidy. The job involved making bespoke cupboards and shelves for a loft extension. The finished product was better than we had hoped for. Thanks!"

    "Andrew’s work is brilliant, he communicates well at all stages and is very tidy. He gave good recommendations and solutions when needed. He was punctual and friendly but got on with what he needed to do. We’re really happy with the new wardrobes and that he has made the most of an awkward space."

    Ellie - Image 1 "Andrew completed x3 areas of bespoke carpentry work for me & my partner, for our new home. This included a walk-in wardrobe & standard wardrobe, under stairs cupboard with storage and a media wall with storage. I was completely taken back at the level of craftsmanship and knowledge. Andrew was polite and was very helpful especially with the tons of queries and requests we had. All the spaces within our home were completely worked in with their surrounding, which majorly improved the look and maximised the storage space. Andrew was punctual, trust-worthy and respected our home at all times. HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for a carpenter for any works! Thank you again Andrew!"
