Commercial Joinery
At Aksum, we have experience working with clients on a whole range of commercial projects. Our customers include architects, designers, contractors, and developers. Whatever the scale of the project, we pride ourselves on our flexible and individualised service.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to projects, we endeavour to fully grasp the needs of the client through careful consultation, delivering results that balance both aesthetics and functionality.
We also understand that budget is an important consideration in large-scale projects like these. As a result, we ensure that all our quotes are accurate and transparent and strive to implement the most cost-effective solutions every time.
Our commercial expertise encompasses a range of industries from leisure and retail to corporate environments and hospitality. Whether you want to commission a bespoke counter or display stand, a customised bench for your restaurant, or an entire office fit-out, our team of joiners is ready to make your vision a reality.
Residential Joinery
Combining traditional techniques with cutting-edge tools and technology, our skilled team of craftsmen will handle every aspect of your residential joinery project, from design and production right through to installation and assembly.
We aim to offer great value for money to our clients, delivering high-quality joinery at accessible prices. Our commitment to excellence and to prioritising our clients’ needs and dreams has helped us to achieve the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
We believe that a joinery service should be individualised to the unique customer. After a comprehensive consultation to discover exactly what you’re looking for, we will begin work on creating bespoke joinery for your home that combines both practical and aesthetic considerations. We offer a diverse range of woods as well as different veneers and finishes and will work with you to achieve results tailored to your specific preferences and demands.
No project is too small in our eyes. We will happily work with you to deliver joinery that meets your unique requirements. We have helped clients with a wide range of projects, ranging from bespoke staircases to entire fitted kitchens or bathrooms. We can undertake structural repair work, fit an oak parquet floor, install new sash windows, create a custom cabinet or wardrobe, or fit trusses and beams.

High Quality Joinery from Experienced, Trusted Tradesmen
At Aksum, we prioritise perfection in everything that we do. Therefore, when choosing suppliers that we could trust to bring client orders to life, it was essential that we found people who had the same commitment to quality and delivering exceptional results as us.
Today, we work with two different joinery factories, both of which—like us—are dedicated to meeting the demands and expectations of clients. They share our detail-orientated approach to joinery and bring impressive levels of expertise and knowledge to all projects.
This is a small boutique-style company. They pride themselves on being able to deliver orders quickly, efficiently, and customised according to the unique requests of clients. They specialise in low volume orders in a bespoke style.
We have been working with this factory for many years now and have developed a productive and successful working relationship.
They are our number one choice when clients request something a little different—something a little daring or unconventional. We count on them to think imaginatively as they translate an order into something tangible. They also have a selection of interesting materials on offer.
If you require joinery services for a residential project—whether that’s a bespoke staircase or custom cabinet—we will work together with them to interpret your vision and deliver exquisite results tailor-made to your home.
Conveniently located not far from our office, their studio has excellent links to both the M25 and London.
As we grew as a company and began to receive increasing numbers of large-scale orders, we decided to look for a second joinery partner who could meet this demand.
We wanted to find a company that shared our business ethos—our emphasis on responsibility and sustainability as much as creativity and efficiency. For us, outsourcing work requires absolute confidence that your chosen supplier understands your mission and values.
Two of our directors grew up and learned their trade in Lithuania and so extending our search to Europe was a natural next step. And it was in Lithuania—after conducting in-depth research and due diligence—that we found a company that had the potential to fulfil our vision.
As far as we’re concerned, they don’t work for us—they work with us. We collaborate on projects, offering continuous and constructive feedback so that our relationship is constantly evolving and improving. We also frequently travel to Lithuania to meet and discuss work in person because nothing beats face-to-face.
Today, they are our number one supplier for bigger orders and commercial projects that require a lot of time and skill, sometimes with a tight deadline. Whether it’s custom-built office shelving for your company headquarters or an entire fitted interior for your restaurant, you can depend on them to bring their impressive technical skill to bear on your project and deliver craftsmanship of the highest quality.
Impeccable Quality - No Matter the Project Size
Whether you’re looking to commission a bespoke statement design or require a reliable supplier for a large volume of commercial joinery orders, our bespoke joinery expertise allows us to make manifest your vision.
We are committed to a totally traceable supply chain so our clients can rest assured that their order has been ethically and sustainably sourced and manufactured. All our suppliers only use PEFC or FFC products.
Areas We Cover
We are based in Stanford-le-Hope in the south of Essex. We cover the entire county of Essex, as well as Kent, plus we also offer services in large portions of Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Sussex, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, Buckinghamshire and Surrey. What’s more, we also cover the entire area of London and we’re regarded as one of the very best fire door contractors the UK has to offer.
If you’re wondering whether we’ll be able to help you out, all you need to do is pick up the phone and call us on 01375 803000.
Bespoke Joinery FAQs
Bespoke joinery is when a joiner is commissioned to create woodwork according to a client’s specific wishes and design preferences. Bespoke joinery services like Aksum’s deliver tailor-made timber items for both residential and commercial projects.
Joinery is when two or more pieces of timber are connected—or joined. In interior design, joinery refers to those elements of a building or interior made out of wood, such as staircases, windows, or doors.
Technically, carpenters construct wooden elements of a building on-site whereas a joiner works in a workshop, joining or connecting pieces of wood. A joiner might make a staircase, for example, but a carpenter will fit the staircase. However, in practice, there’s a lot of overlap between the trades.
Both carpentry and joinery involve working with wood. Both use a combination of traditional and cutting-edge tools to cut, shape, smooth, and finish wood for windows, doors, shelves, staircases, and floorboards, or any other wooden elements.
The time it takes between you initially contacting us and the completion of any joinery project will depend on the type and scale of the project. After our survey and consultation, we will be able to give you a more concrete deadline.
We work with a range of woods and finishes. After discussing your design with you and learning more about your specific vision, we will be able to offer advice on what type of wood would work best in your project.
Our bespoke joinery service means that we can adapt any designs to match the style of the property and the taste and design preferences of the property owner. We can work with you to ensure that any new pieces of joinery are complementary and appropriate.
Our team of talented joiners is able to produce woodwork that matches and complements a range of property types, including period properties.
We offer a comprehensive service, from initial design to manufacture, as well as the final installation with our team of expert fitters. We also offer an aftercare service to ensure that your designs continue to look their best for many years to come.
At Aksum, we actively strive to reduce our impact on the environment, complying with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations and making environmental awareness a fundamental principle of how we do business.
This depends on the nature of the project. The size of the job and the specific client requirements will all affect cost. We can carry out a survey and consultation to give you an accurate quote and always strive to keep our prices accessible.
