Builders and Carpenters in Abbey Wood
Everwood Construction is a building and carpentry contractor working in Abbey Wood and the surrounding area, with over two decades of experience.
Building and Carpentry in Abbey Wood
There is a substantial amount of former council built housing in SE2 as well. These homes are generally solid, well built and well proportioned, and a great many of them are now privately owned and being improved by the people who live in them. They take rear extensions and internal reorganisation well, and because the construction is straightforward, the work tends to run smoothly. If you own one of these houses and you are thinking about a bigger kitchen or an open plan ground floor, we would be pleased to come and look at it with you.
Homes in Abbey Wood
The newer development around the station is cavity built and needs very little structurally. The work that comes up there is interior work: new kitchens, new bathrooms and fitted joinery that makes the most of a compact home. Our own carpenters make the fitted joinery, which matters in a newer flat or house where space is limited and every room has to be used well. It is careful, precise work, and it is the kind of job our team enjoys.
Abbey Wood sits between Thamesmead and Plumstead, with the woods around Lesnes Abbey on its southern edge and Belvedere to the east. The station is at the centre of the area, and since the Elizabeth line opened it has reshaped the area around it. We cover all of it, and we bring the same care and attention to every property.
Working in the Local Area
Demand for extra space has risen sharply in Abbey Wood, and a lot of the enquiries we receive are about adding a bedroom in the loft or opening up the ground floor to make a bigger kitchen and living space. Both are normal work for us, and both are usually the most sensible way to stay in a house you like in an area that is only getting better connected. We talk you through the options honestly, and we give you a clear written price so you know exactly what you are paying for before we begin.
Access varies a great deal across SE2, and it is one of the first things we look at. The terraced runs often have no side access at all, which changes how a job is run, because materials and waste have to come through the house. The semis and the former council stock usually do have side access, which makes a rear extension considerably simpler and quicker. Either way, we plan the logistics with you before we start, we protect your home properly, and we keep the site tidy so your neighbours are not put out while the work is under way.

Abbey Wood: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the SE2 postcode?
Yes. Everwood Construction works throughout Abbey Wood and the surrounding area, covering SE2.
Which areas near Abbey Wood do you cover?
As well as Abbey Wood we work in Belvedere, Erith, Welling and the rest of the surrounding area across Kent and South East London.
What should I know about building work in Abbey Wood?
Many of the older houses in Abbey Wood have very little storage, and we plan for that from the start. When a loft is converted, the space that used to hold everything disappears with the new bedroom. Building the storage back in as fitted joinery, with eaves cupboards in the new room and built in wardrobes elsewhere, costs far less as part of the same project than it does as a separate job later on, so your home is ready to use as soon as the work is finished.
What sort of homes do you work on in Abbey Wood?
Much of the housing in Abbey Wood is interwar and postwar. These are semis and terraces that were built for families, with gardens deep enough to extend into and roofs that vary between cut timber and trussed rafters depending on the decade they were built. Where the roof is cut timber, a loft conversion is usually the best value option, because it gives you a full extra bedroom without using any of your garden.
