Local carpentry in Clontarf
Clontarf is one of the better places in Dublin to be a carpenter. The red-brick Edwardian and Victorian houses running back from the seafront have proportions worth working with: high ceilings, deep alcoves, original cornicing, and chimney breasts that are almost never centred.
They also have every quirk that comes with a house of that age. Nothing is square. Floors slope. Alcoves either side of the same fireplace are routinely different widths. That's not a problem to be fixed; it's simply the reason bought furniture never fits and bespoke joinery does.

Why choose ABM Carpentry in Clontarf
In a period Clontarf house we measure everything twice and scribe everything to what's actually there. Alcove units are built to the real width of each alcove, not the average of the two. Shelving lines through with the picture rail. Painted in-frame doors sit right in a room with cornicing, where a flat modern slab door would look wrong.
Clontarf is also coastal, so anything outdoors gets the same treatment we'd give Malahide or Portmarnock: stainless fixings, durable timber, and cladding on a ventilated cavity.
- Free written quotes. Itemised and fixed, with no call-out charge in Clontarf.
- Fully insured and working to a start date we actually keep.
- Local. If something needs adjusting next winter, we're a short drive away.
- Tidy. The site is swept and the offcuts leave with us.
