About SMD

A tradesman's business, built on doing the job properly.

SMD Building & Joinery is run by Stephen Dawe, who's spent thirty years on tools across South Manchester — from roofing and full extensions to the kind of bespoke joinery that doesn't get rushed. The business takes on all construction work, indoor and outdoor, and still does the detailed, made-to-fit woodwork by hand.

Based in Stretford and working right across Trafford, every job — big extension or small fitted piece — gets the same standard of finish.
