What I make

Every commission starts with a free site visit. Every quote is its own piece of paper.

01

KitchensBy quote

Hand-built kitchens designed around the room you actually have. I'll work with hardwoods, reclaimed timber or man-made boards depending on the brief, the budget and what'll wear well in your house for the next twenty years.

02

Alcove units & shelvingBy quote

Fitted alcove cupboards, media units and low-level storage scribed in to the room. The kind of joinery that disappears into the architecture and quietly does its job.

03

Fitted wardrobes & bedroom furnitureBy quote

Bedroom furniture made to fit, built around the way you actually use the room rather than off-the-shelf carcasses you have to compromise into the space.

04

Tables & freestanding piecesBy quote

One-off dining tables, benches and freestanding furniture · hand-crafted timber pieces that you'll keep and pass on rather than replace.

What clients say

★★★★★
Josh created a bespoke kitchen for us this year and we could not be more thrilled with it. His professionalism and exceptional skill are a marvel and privilege to encounter. His work speaks for itself, but the craftsmanship and elegance of his woodworking is unique yet personal. I have been truly in awe of his skills and could not recommend him higher for bringing something to life in your home.

I recently collaborated with Josh to transform my crumbling and dated kitchen into a robust and inviting space - it's a compact 2.5x2.5m that now packs a punch! Josh's custom-made bespoke joinery is not only a looker but wonderfully tactile, adding a umptious touch to the whole space. Josh is mindful of sustainability, addressing issues creatively throughout the project. We worked closely on ideation and project planning. His commitment to transparency and involvement was evident in the regular video updates, helping with decision-making on details like handle design and placement. His flexibility and attention to the inevitable snags that come with building projects made the entire process smooth. In my very small kitchen, where every centimetre counts, Josh worked diligently to create a bespoke kitchen that not only maximised the available space but also introduced a touch of moody elegance. Opting for a beech finish with bandsawn elements and waxed veneer for built-in appliances, he showcased his ability to make materials and textures sing. The end result is not just a functional kitchen but a daily joy to experience, with lush attention to detail. Josh's thoughtful, calm demeanour, and excellent communication skills further enhanced the collaborative process. I highly recommend Joshua for anyone who values quality and longevity in their living spaces.

Josh recently built a bespoke kitchen for me and I could not be happier with the result. I'm a bit of a nightmare customer because I have a lot of allergies and chemical sensitivities which mean I have to be very careful about the materials used in my house. Josh was incredibly patient right from the outset, happily explaining in great detail the work involved and the types of materials he would need to use. He got samples of everything in advance so I could test them, from different woods and man-made boards to glues and paints. Where there were issues he was only too happy to research alternatives with me until we found a way to make it work. It's pretty rare to find a tradesman who's so flexible and helpful and I'm hugely grateful to him for this. As well as being ultra healthy and eco-friendly, the finished kitchen is beautiful. Josh clearly takes a huge amount of pride in his work and is very good at what he does. Everybody who's seen it has commented on the quality of the work, including all the other tradesmen! I would thoroughly recommend him and would certainly use him again in future.

Wonderful work by Josh on our kitchen design and build. I don't normally write reviews but this was perfect – every detail was thought about by him, and the room ended up looking above and beyond our expectations due to his thoughtfulness. Josh really went out of his way to make sure other tradesmen got what they needed, and even had the electrician commenting on his proactive approach! It was great to work with Josh, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Josh was recommended as a joiner by one of the companies we contacted for kitchen design. He totally got our vision and made us something completely unique and stunning. His work is absolutely top-notch: he's a real perfectionist, and it's the kind of work where it shows. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks so much Josh!

Josh designed, manufactured & Installed the low-level cupboards and shelves around the TV display. I work in the sector of Interior design so my bar is set high. I could not have been happier with the outcome & quality of workmanship on all aspects of the Joinery through to the finish of the paint and Internals. If you want someone who is excellent, cares about quality & detail, is professional and conscientious with your property then I could not recommend Joshua Howard Joinery enough.
