A local team, an eye for detail.

The people behind the joinery.

Hawthorn Carpentry & Joinery is a family business started by my dad, Jeff Hawthorn, in 2000. When he retired in 2020, I took over and brought Jon on board.

 

Jon and I have worked together for around 15 years and carry out every project together. I’m a bench-trained joiner with over 20 years’ experience, and Jon specialises in staircases and interior second-fix joinery.

 

We take pride in our work. We’ll talk through what you have in mind, give you honest advice and take the time to get it right.
