Meet the team
Well Hung Joinery is a Wellington-owned company that’s been designing, manufacturing and installing quality timber joinery, kitchens and cabinetry since 1999. Originally based in Petone, we moved to Ngauranga in 2006 to provide a faster service to the Wellington region and have our showroom in a more central location.
We’ve got 14 full-time qualified joiners, 3 full-time qualified installers and 3 full-time sales managers. If you contact us to visit your home, it’s one of these sales managers who will visit, discuss what you’d like, and provide you with a quote. Because they’re also qualified joiners, our sales managers can offer you the best technical advice and answer any questions.
