Local carpentry in Swords
Swords has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Dublin, and it shows in the housing. We work in seventies and eighties semis around River Valley and Seatown, and in new-builds barely out of warranty out at Applewood, Boroimhe and Miller's Glen. The two need completely different things from a carpenter.
Older Swords houses tend to have generous gardens and tired internal joinery: doors that were cheap when they went in, skirting painted over a dozen times, a staircase that pulls a whole hallway down with it. Newer houses have the opposite problem: everything is straight and square, but storage is minimal and gardens are small enough that every square metre has to earn its place.

Why choose ABM Carpentry in Swords
A lot of our Swords work comes from people commuting into the city or working from home since 2020, and it's overwhelmingly about space. A garden room at the end of a Boroimhe garden buys you a proper office without moving house. Fitted wardrobes built to the actual ceiling height give a new-build bedroom the storage the developer left out.
Swords is fifteen minutes from our van in ordinary traffic, which matters more than it sounds. It means we can call out to measure without making an appointment three weeks away, and if something needs adjusting after a wet winter we can come back and sort it.
- Free written quotes. Itemised and fixed, with no call-out charge in Swords.
- 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.
Our work in Swords
Typical Swords jobs: insulated garden offices in rear gardens, floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes in new-build bedrooms, attic-conversion carpentry, replacing internal doors and skirting through a whole house, and raised decking to make something usable out of a garden that falls away from the back door.
We also work in Malahide, Donabate and Santry, so if you're on the edge of Swords it makes no difference to us.
A local carpenter you can check up on
Most of our Swords work arrives by word of mouth. Someone sees a garden room going up in a neighbour's back garden and asks who built it. That's the only advertising that really counts in this trade, and it's why we'd rather take longer over a job than rush it and lose the next three. We're happy to give you the address of recent work nearby so you can see it for yourself before you commit to anything.
- Free written quotes. Itemised and fixed, with no call-out charge anywhere in Swords.
- Fully insured, and happy to send you the details before work starts.
- Guaranteed workmanship. If something isn't right, ring us and we'll come back.
- Based in Dublin. Not a national firm subcontracting your job to whoever is free.
