Carpenters in Newton Abbot

Bespoke Timber Work, Made by Hand in South Devon

Newton Abbot is a town where traditional craftsmanship still matters, where older homes sit beside modern builds, where extensions, garden structures and bespoke joinery all help shape homes with individuality and warmth.

At Crystal Woods, we bring over 25 years of carpentry and joinery expertise to homeowners in and around Newton Abbot. From our Dartmoor workshop, we design and build everything by hand, using solid hardwoods, traditional joinery, and techniques that stand the test of time.

If you’re looking for local carpenters who prioritise craft over convenience and quality over quick fixes, we’d be delighted to help.

“If your looking for a job to be done and you want it spot on ? then he is the man !”
