About me
Hi, I’m Sam, the owner of Thornton Carpentry. Based in Crawley, I’m a qualified carpenter with around three years of experience, specialising in a wide range of carpentry projects.
From starting out at college to reaching the SkillBuild 2024 National Final in Carpentry, I’ve built my skills through both training and hands-on experience. I started Thornton Carpentry to bring that experience directly to my customers, providing quality workmanship and a reliable, personal service.
