At Sydenham Bespoke Joinery, we live to create beautiful things that fulfil the dreams of our clients.
Since taking over the business in 2016, Grant and Richard have doubled-down on the obsession for quality and creative flair that has driven the company’s success since it was established in 1983. We believe it’s essential to preserve the heritage of traditional carpentry that sets us apart. And today adding ‘Bespoke’ to our name feels like a fitting reflection of our dedication to totally personalised, premium joinery.
Our work can be found in residential and commercial properties all over the South Island, and has recently been featured in magazines, including Archipro, Women’s Day, and Metropol – we’ve even been showcased in the television show Grand Designs! All this exposure is as much a testament to our work as it is to the amazing home and commercial property owners, architects, and builders we are so fortunate to work with everyday.

Windows with the wow-factor
We can make you any shape or type of window you can imagine – the more complex the better we like it. Our only limitations are the laws of physics.

Our values add value!
Our passion for perfection pays dividends for our clients. When you invest in high-end joinery for your home or commercial space, you’re not just paying for quality and craftsmanship, you are also adding substantial value to your property. This is the blending of luxury, aesthetics, and function that keeps New Zealand’s top architects coming back to us time and time again.
Clear, collaborative communication from conception to completion.
Decades of experience have allowed us to refine our design process to the point where our clients invariably fall in love with the end result. And that’s definitely the result we’re aiming for – we want the owner to feel as much pleasure in living with our joinery, as we do creating it.
The way we work is a true collaboration between owner, designer, and builder. Our collective decades of bespoke joinery experience means we very quickly get a sense of your personal preferences, functionality requirements, and overall aesthetic. We will work with you right down to the finest detail – nothing is too small when you care about the result as much as we do. So don’t be surprised to find yourself talking about the depth of your kitchen drawers or the type of hinges you want on your television cabinets. It does take time, but every second is worth it. What you’ll get when you work with Sydenham Bespoke Joinery is stunning, meticulously crafted joinery that you’ll be truly proud of.
