KM Joinery, operated by Paul, is a highly regarded specialist in first-fix and second-fix joinery. The business's experience spans structural timber work - such as floor joists and door casings - and final surface finishes, including doors, windows, and flooring.

Paul is particularly well-known for designing and building bespoke alcove cupboards and under-stairs wardrobes that maximise awkward spaces. Attention to detail ensures that each project is structurally sound and tailored to the homeowner's storage needs.

Fully insured with public liability cover, KM Joinery offers essential reassurance during major installations. As a small, dedicated team, booking lead times can be longer, and large projects may progress at a steady pace, but the quality of the finish is highly reliable.

Pros

  • +Over 20 years of carpentry and joinery experience
  • +Expert in both first-fix and second-fix joinery
  • +Practical, custom-designed alcove and under-stairs wardrobes
  • +Fully insured with public liability coverage
  • +Complimentary quotes and honest estimates

Cons

  • !Small operation, which can limit booking availability

Pleasure to work with

“Paul was a pleasure to work with. I wanted a bespoke cupboard built in under my stairs. Paul came out, measured up and quoted for the job, with no pressure to go a head with him. We chose Paul for the job and we are delighted with our new cupboard. Nothing was too much trouble and Paul made sure that we were happy with the design and his finished work. He worked hard from start to finish, tidy and respectful of my home. Will not hesitate recommending Paul and using him again in the future.”

I’m very pleased with the work

“I am very pleased with the work Paul has done for me. He phoned because he was going to be slightly late due to the weather. He worked continuously without any breaks for 5 hours. The job was not easy because it was making a skirting board for a curved bay which had to be crafted from a straight piece of material However he did this really well finishing the job off properly and to my satisfaction. I would employ Paul again for any other work and recommend him to others.”

Independent Joinery specialises in bespoke cabinetry and architectural joinery, blending traditional techniques with contemporary styling. A strong focus on customisation makes the company an excellent choice for homeowners looking to add distinct character to their spaces.

Clients appreciate the high level of detail and clean working practices on-site. However, precise design work can result in longer project turnarounds, making the firm less suitable for those seeking rapid, standardised installations.

  • +Skilled at blending traditional and modern design elements
  • +Strong design capability for awkward spaces

I can’t recommend him highly enough

“David helped immediately when I needed a joiner to fit two doors last year after our previous kitchen fitter bailed on the responsibility. I went on check a trade and found David. David fitted 6 doors for me that were all cut to size and fitted perfectly. Fast forward a year, I have moved and asked David to come and shave 4 doors, hang 2 TV brackets and cut to size a bath panel, again, all done with perfection and David’s housekeeping was to a high standard and he always cleaned up after himself and you’d never know he’s worked in your house. David was friendly, easygoing, and very professional in his craft. I can not recommend him highly enough, and if you are looking for a joiner, David would/should be the person to call.”

He goes above and beyond

“We’ve had David in twice now for odd jobs and to sand our original floorboards. He goes above and beyond with detail and takes extra care to clean up after. He’s also very understanding of our slight obsession with retaining and replicating original features in our house and has worked up designs for future projects with the same excitement. He’s also a lovely guy and a pleasure to have in our home. Will absolutely be getting him back in for further projects.”

Highly recommend

“I was new to Liverpool and knew no one, bought a lovely little Victoria house that needed a full makeover, Beechpark Joinery & Building came highly recommended and I couldn’t be happier. Reliable, punctual, tidy, and the workmanship is second to none! Ben was amazing from beginning to end, gutted and reinstalled the new Kitchen, installed new wardrobes and hand built two Bespoke Units. He introduced me to a team of skilled artisans from Plasterers, Electricians, Plumbers, Flooring and Decorators who all in turn performed miracles, in 6 Months I had a fully refurnished house that I can call home, all thanks to Ben of Beechpark Joinery & Building that I can now highly recommend too.”

I have my perfect kitchen!

“After a lot of searching for a reliable company to remodel my kitchen I chose to go with Beechpark joinery which I’m over the moon I did. Ben is a professional. a good honest lad he was upfront about everything & listened to what I wanted. A side from that he’s a lovely person to deal with and reply’s to you within a few hours of texting and has cracking personality. The quality of his work is outstanding (I’m very fussy) the team of workmen he brought were brilliant all very clean & take high pride in their work. Especially plumper Tom & Floor Tom. I’ve had no issues with anything. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in future projects. I have my perfect kitchen!”
