bespoke joinery and cabinet making
Joshua Howard Joinery is a Yorkshire based bespoke joinery company that specialises in beautiful joinery for the home. I work with both hardwoods and man made boards to deliver timeless furniture designed to both meet the needs of the modern home and bring beauty to a space.Some examples of the work I create would be; bespoke kitchens, alcove units, shelving, dining tables, media units, fitted wardrobes, wall cabinets and coffee tables, among other things. I try to make my work as environmentally friendly as possible; using locally grown and reclaimed timber, supplying local stables with my wood shavings and most importantly creating furniture to last a lifetime rather than filling a landfill.Where possible I work from my workshop reducing the disruption to clients homes and increasing the efficiency with which I can work. I combine the craft that i love with my fine art training in order to create functional and beautiful joinery.Please feel free to look through my website or follow me on Instagram for an idea of the work I create.
Thank You Josh

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.
Alex Willcocks
Josh recently completed our kitchen, family room and utility project and we couldn't be happier with the results.We chose Josh based on the quality of his work and references he provided. Throughout the project he proved himself as hard working, a good communicator, having great attention to detail and clearly a passion for his craft. All the elements you hope you find in a quality joiner.We wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Matthew and Joanna Timmis
We approached Josh to design and craft our dream dining table and bench. We had an idea of what we wanted and Josh was able to make it come to life, incorporating new structural and aesthetic elements into the design. We are thrilled with the result, have a stunning hand crafted oak table and bench that will be loved for years to come, and couldn't recommend Josh highly enough.
Shah Abbas
Josh has done a fantastic job of designing and fitting a bespoke cabinet for us. Josh is very professional and punctual, we are very impressed with the cabinet and the great suggestion to incorporate a seating bench into the design.Thanks Josh! We love the cabinet and the kids enjoying the new seating.
Wills Crump
Josh fitted a cabinet for our bathroom renovation. At the outset, he sat down with us to understand what we wanted and scoped the job out with us. He then produced the cabinet and attended on site to 'scribe in' the fitting, co-ordinating well with the builder and plumber who were installing the rest of the bathroom. We're really pleased with both the look and quality several months on from the fit out.The short of it; I would highly recommend Josh's services (and have done so to friends and family). Absolutely worth the money for bespoke furniture.
John Davy
Josh made us a bespoke unit to house a piano keyboard, tidy away much of our electronic equipment and increase our general storage, all in a very tight space. The result was a beautiful hand-crafted piece of furniture with excellent finish, which does everything we want and makes the room look much better. Thanks, Josh!
Aidan Schooley
Josh did some wonderful work for me recently. I employed him to help renovate my property. The work was extensive, diverse and fairly complex. He worked hard to deliver some superb results. Josh is always on time, has a pleasant demeanor and listens attentively. Thanks again Josh, your hard work and creativity has really paid off.
Ben Webber
I’ve seen lots of Josh’s work and asked him to make and install some bedroom furniture recently. We are absolutely chuffed with what he has done for us and how he has delivered exactly what we were looking for. Josh is a creative, passionate furniture maker with an eye for detail in his work. Would 100 % recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to make something bespoke and quality.
