Local carpentry in Donabate
Donabate has changed enormously in the last decade. The village and the older houses out towards Portrane sit alongside large new estates that have gone up fast. We get called to both, and they want opposite things.
New Donabate houses are structurally sound and short on storage. The bedrooms have a shallow built-in wardrobe if they have one at all, the understairs space is a void with a door on it, and the garden is small enough that a shed eats a third of it. That's all solvable with carpentry, and it's cheaper than moving.

Why choose ABM Carpentry in Donabate
In new-builds we work to the millimetre, because there's nowhere to hide a bad fit against a plumb wall and a level floor. Fitted wardrobes go floor to ceiling and wall to wall, using the full depth. Understairs storage gets pull-out drawers rather than a cupboard you have to crawl into.
In the older houses around the village it's the reverse job. Nothing is square, and everything is scribed. Both approaches are the same trade. They just need a carpenter who knows which one they're doing.
- Free written quotes. Itemised and fixed, with no call-out charge in Donabate.
- 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.

A local carpenter you can check up on
A lot of our Donabate work has come from one estate at a time. We finish a wardrobe fit-out for one family and end up doing three more on the same road. Neighbours talk, and in a place growing as fast as Donabate that reputation is the whole business. Everything is quoted in writing, fully insured, and finished properly rather than quickly.
