The Joinery King team manufactured and installed our kitchen nearly two years ago and we continue to be delighted with the result. Tony combines a quality product with a professional service and we highly recommend his company. Tony takes a personal interest in ensuring that you are making the best choices possible and tailors your kitchen to your individual needs. He is very practical and works to provide you with a highly functional kitchen. At the same time, he is very conscious of style and pays great attention to detail. He also has extensive product knowledge and this proved invaluable when choosing our appliances. We have no hesitation in recommending The Joinery King team. They are highly skilled, professional and approachable.

Julie and Neil McKay

I would like to thank The Joinery King staff and especially Tony and Julianne for their wonderful work in designing and installing our new kitchen. I was especially impressed with the excellent communication skills used with myself other tradesmen (electricians, plumbers etc) to work in together and complete the job on time. We were kept involved and updated throughout the entire process and it was no issue for me to call anytime and make last minute changes. It was all so easy. I now have the most beautiful kitchen which is not only functional but practical, it really is the heart of our home!

Meredith & Craig Butland

From initial consultation, design and completion, Tony listened to the style we were wanting, drew plans and explained any pros and cons to what we had in mind. He came up with practical ideas that we would not have thought of and delivered a fantastic kitchen, on time, at a busy time of year. We have since recommended Joinery King to friends and family who have also been delighted with the service.

Sarah and Tony Laidler

Our kitchen has been installed for over a year now, and has proven to be even better than we had envisaged. As well as being beautiful, it is supremely functional and meets the needs of our family wonderfully. Tony was great to work with in the planning stages as we shared ideas. We appreciated his useful and gentle suggestions to enhance the workability of the kitchen, and the good communication from him and his team throughout the entire process.

Tony has a wealth of experience, a passion for delivering the highest quality and is an absolute pleasure to work with. We are very happy to recommend Joinery King, and we look forward to enjoying our lovely kitchen for many more years to come.

Charles and Louise Hornabrook

My association with Tony King began some twenty years ago when he was foreman at Cornicks Joinery in Thorndon. Some five years ago Tony purchased the business from Eric Cornick and is now at the helm of The Joinery King.

My role is Project Manager, managing the refurbishments of upmarket properties in Wellington. In this role I have established my reputation on quality, reliability and value for money …this is where The Joinery King comes in!

In my dealings with Tony these three factors have always come to the fore. Tony has built and installed over thirty kitchens, many many windows and doors, specially run skirtings and architraves and untold other custom made items. I have always found Tony to be efficient, reliable and always upfront and honest, and I have no hesitation in “singing his praises!!

Scott Taylor - Mitchbuild Construction Ltd

I've been working with Tony at The Joinery King for over four years on projects as small as a cupboard, through to rebuilding my kitchen. Tony is professional at all times, listens very intently and interprets ideas efficiently and exactly. The quality of the workmanship is exceptional and I have recommended him to many friends with the knowledge that they would be as happy with the end product as I am.

After building our house 25yrs ago it was time for a major spruce up to the interior. Our kitchen underwent a radical makeover. Tony and his team from the Joinery King expertly managed the physical constraints and technical difficulties resulting in the fantastic new work space without compromising the original architectural clean lines. It is the hub of our house and our favourite space for family and friends to gather in.

As an Interior Designer I must choose the best craftsmen to carry out work for my clients. My reputation depends upon it. Tony King, of Joinery King is my Joiner of choice for all my joinery needs. He is passionate about his work and delivers workmanship of the highest standard, making my clients dreams into reality.

Communication is key and Tony quickly establishes a great rapport, listening carefully to the ideas, needs and budget constraints the client brings. He asks the questions that make us all think about how we would wish to live in our homes. The solutions he offers take this into consideration, along with materials that are suitable and design details that are beautiful, while at the same time practical. His design ability is not to be underestimated and he articulates his ideas with ease, both verbally and on paper.

Tony has created for my clients; pre-school kitchens that are detailed, hardworking, and budget conscious; traditional English country kitchens with over mantles/plate racks and butlers sinks; sleek and high gloss European kitchens featuring the latest appliances; handsome and traditional kitchens for Gray Young homes.

Working with Tony has been a dream. It was so great to have someone who was as enthsiastic and excited about our design aesthetic, and his fresh ideas & attention to detail has made all the difference to the finished product. We couldn't be happier, and are so please that we decided to go with Tony & the Joinery King. Thomas and I firmly believe we would not have the same standard or be as happy with the kitchen had we gone anywhere else. "

Natalie & Tom Woodhall

" As owners of a flooring company we understand tradespeople and were very impressed at how smoothly our kitchen installation went, from design and advice on appliances to completion of the job. Tony was very communicative advising us every step of the way making everything for us stress less.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Tony and his staff (and I have already) as they were professional and pleasant to deal with. They delivered all aspects of our job effortlessly as per schedule.

Who knew a Yellow pages number for The Joinery King I called to have a simple pelmet made, would lead to a house load joinery built! Thanks Tony and the team for an outstanding finish on all the 11 pieces you produced for me plus a kitchen! I was demanding of perfection and you can be proud your company delivered just that! I'm very impressed you had patience and took the time to listen and confirm with me at the planning stage to ensure all my specific requirements were allowed for and met. Dealing with your company was a pleasure and it is very refreshing to know there are still people that can deliver! Should you have potential customers who'd like an independent recommendation I'd be happy to provide it.

I first met Tony King in the early nineties. At that time he was the joinery Forman, for Cornick Joinery. He has in recent years bought and started out on his own, and called it The Joinery King. First I would say his attention to detail is second to none. Every millimetre is thought through exactly! Tony’s design process is always interesting to watch, and his drawings are done freehand, they are very clear and have all the measurements. He is also a good listener and great to work with. When I order joinery it always arrives on site, on time, and exactly what I wanted.

Quality is what I’m after on my jobs and I get it every time from The Joinery King. If it’s a kitchen for example, I want the best of materials to be used and that’s what turns up, on site. Most of my clients I’ve had for many years and Tony has been involved with many of those contracts. If he hadn’t made joinery that stood the test of time, I’d sure be hearing about it.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Joinery King in the future.

We have recently used The Joinery King for the design and installation of our new kitchen. As we had limited space to play with and the kitchen was to become a major element in our open plan living/dining area, the detailing was extremely important to us. They took the time to explore numerous options with us, and were very conscious of the importance of good design and the need for close attention to detail. The communication throughout the process in terms of expected timeframes was very good, and we were kept well informed.

The kitchen was installed with very little fuss and interruption to our day to day lives. Our kitchen looks amazing, is extremely functional and we are very pleased with the result. For a professional attitude and quality workmanship, we would highly recommend using The Joinery King.
