Woodwork & joinery service in Newcastle
Custom woodwork and joinery covers made-to-measure furniture, cabinetry, shelving, timber repairs and general carpentry built by hand or with a mix of hand tools and CNC. It suits jobs where fit, finish and joinery quality matter more than mass production — a bespoke cabinet, a repaired antique, a custom shelf built to an awkward space, or a small run of matching furniture pieces. Solid timber, plywood and veneered board are the usual materials; a joiner will also advise on hardware, finish (oiled, painted, polyurethane) and structural details you might not think to specify. Send accurate measurements of the space or a sketch/drawing with dimensions, your timber and finish preference, and photos if it's a repair. Turnaround runs from about a week for a simple piece to several weeks for bespoke cabinetry, since timber work is largely hand time. Pricing is quoted per job on timber, joinery complexity and finishing — ask what the quote includes for delivery/install and hardware.

FAQ
Woodwork & joinery — common questions
What do I need to provide for a custom furniture quote?
Accurate dimensions (measure twice), a sketch or reference photo of the style you want, your timber and finish preference, and where it needs to fit — a photo of the space helps a joiner spot problems early.
Can a joiner match existing furniture or repair an antique?
Many can — send clear photos of the damage or the piece to be matched, including timber species and joinery style if you know them, and ask about their experience with repairs versus new builds.
How long does bespoke joinery take?
From about a week for a simple shelf to several weeks for fitted cabinetry, since it's largely hand and machine time rather than a stock item — ask for a specific estimate against your job.
What finish options are there?
Common options include oil, wax, polyurethane/lacquer and paint — each affects durability and look differently (e.g. oil for a natural look and easy touch-ups, lacquer for a harder, glossier surface). Ask the maker to recommend one for how the piece will be used.
