Bespoke hardwood doors for outbuildings

I found Martin by searching for a local manufacturer of bespoke doors. He had excellent reviews so I felt confident when I asked him to build doors for my outbuildings. He operated a very streamlined process from start to finish, where everything is clear in terms of the payment steps and delivery timeline. The quality of his work is outstanding. I am hugely impressed with the hardwood doors that he installed. Excellent work from an excellent workman. Thank you.

Martin est un excellent artisan
Martin est un excellent artisan, fier de son travail. Il est toujours très instructif et se renseigne sur tout avant d'agir. Il est désormais sur ma liste de projets à réaliser et à installer chez moi.
Je suis sûr que nos chemins se croiseront pendant de nombreuses années. Il a facilité la transaction et m'a demandé très peu d'efforts. Merci.

Bespoke staircase

Huge thanks to Martin at MK Joinery!
We’re absolutely over the moon with our new oak staircase! Martin did an incredible job — from helping us plan the design to building and fitting it perfectly. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are next level.
The staircase has completely transformed our home — it’s solid, beautifully finished, and you can just tell how much care went into every part of it. Martin was great to work with too — friendly, reliable, and clearly passionate about what he does.
Couldn’t recommend MK Joinery highly enough. Thanks again, Martin — you’ve truly made something special for us!

Bespoke front door

Martin is a legend. After having been burned with tradies here in France many times, I was very skeptical about having found the right one for a custom build door. And man, I was in for the surprise of a lifetime. Martin was on time for the first inspection and impressed me with his brilliance and knowledge.

He was very patient with me as I asked more questions than I usually would. So his quote was pretty much a book with everything described and explained in great detail. Even I as a non technical person was able to understand.

From the placement of the order to the delivery and installation of the custom door Martin provided us with updates and photos. Just brilliant and extremely trust building. Following the progress from Australia was extremely rewarding.

And then the big day of the delivery. The door he built gave me goosebumps. I am in love with this door. It is a very minimalistic white door which shines through Martin's craftsmanship, his style, his love for detail, and every inch of this door is a reflection of who he is: THE BEST CARPENTER I HAVE EVER MET.

And before I forget. Martin is also a super cool guy!

"New Wardrobe custom built to suit alcove and insulating of internal walls We had a poorly built wardrobe which Martin removed and replaced with a custom built wardrobe. Including internal storage. Doors were made to match original doors in another room. Very pleased with the results, matching our original sketch and requirements. Standard of finish excellent as well tidiness and completed when agreed.

"Highly Skilled Problem Solver & Extremely Professional Martin is a problem solver and brings great value to all the projects he has completed for me. He is a perfectionist and it shows. He works cleanly and is very efficient with his time. And if something I need help with isn’t within his vast collection of skills, he has a network of specialists he can recommend who are equally as professional. Our house in the Charente is in much better shape thanks to Martin. We feel very, very lucky to have found him"

"Highly Recommended - We cannot recommend Martin highly enough, he is an amazing worker and so reliable. He has transformed our bedroom from a wood cabin into a beautiful bedroom. The ceiling and Wardrobe doors and frame are amazing. He is free with his ideas and helped us enormously. We cannot wait for him to come back and transform our en suite and complete the other work we have assigned to him"

"Martin has helped us to build the home… Martin has helped us to build the home of our dreams. He is reliable, precise and a good person to be around. He can bring your crazy ideas to life whilst suggesting more practical ways to proceed. I would have no reservations in recommending him.10/10 from us"

Wall panelling in Aunac 16460 - Bespoke Architraves and skirtings Charente - South West France.

Glazing Upgrades

These windows were in good condition but were single-glazed. Due to their dimensions, they could be retained, and double glazing could be added.

The process involved removing the single-pane glass, cleaning and routing the rebates to accommodate a double-glazed unit, adding security glazing tape, and reinstalling the original beads.

Traditional Bespoke Doors & Windows made in Charente.

This window was custom-made to meet the requirements of Bâtiments de France. It had to be crafted from timber and replicate the original design while also accommodating double glazing to meet the client's needs.

Joinery Repairs - Wooden window & door repairs

Not everything needs to be discarded due to a little rot! With careful removal and recreation of panels, stiles, and rails, your doors and windows can be restored at a fraction of the cost.

For this set of garage doors, the bottom rails and one panel were rotten. These components were replicated to match, installed, and left primed, ready for the client's decorator.
