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."

    "We recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew to install custom built-in bookshelves, wardrobes, cabinets, and eaves storage in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Andrew exceeded all our expectations. Andrew is a consummate professional. He took the time to understand our needs and vision, offering thoughtful suggestions that truly elevated the design. It’s clear that he takes immense pride in his work and genuinely cares about delivering a product that clients will love. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding. Andrew was timely and reliable. He kept us informed at every stage, worked efficiently, and delivered the project exactly when he promised. The value for money was excellent. The pricing was transparent and fair, especially considering the high standard of the work. We wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for bespoke carpentry. He’s the best!"
