“While there is no denying that renovating a very old kitchen can be a challenge, James made the process a straightforward and rewarding experience for us. James met with us on many occasions throughout the planning process, giving us a lot of guidance and advice.  The changes we made as our kitchen design evolved, were promptly followed up with the revised plans, (nothing was ever too much trouble for James).

Once the builders, plasterers, painters and floorers had departed, James and his team swooped in and our kitchen was installed effortlessly.  The cabinetry demonstrated James’ superior craftsmanship.  His high quality network of suppliers that he used for the fittings and fixtures, finished off our kitchen superbly. Our kitchen is a joy to work in.  It is classically modern, comfortable, welcoming and a functional workspace which was carefully put together.

We thoroughly recommend James at Natural Edge Joinery to anyone who is considering renovating their existing kitchen or installing a new one.”

“We recently had a new kitchen designed and installed by James at Natural Edge Joinery, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. James was incredibly easy to deal with—friendly, professional, and always open to changes, even during the installation phase.

Our expectations were well and truly met. It was a pleasure working with a small, family-run business that clearly takes pride in delivering high-quality, durable craftsmanship. The passion they bring to their work really shows in the finished product.

We’ll definitely be having James and the team back for future projects. Highly recommend!”

“We have been lucky enough to have James of Natural Edge do several pieces of work with us both at our home in Havelock North, Bach and rustic cabin in CHB.

We have really enjoyed working with him, he listens and makes sure he really understands what you want and offers suggestions and options. He's quick to respond with quotes, drawings and materials pricing. He's very practical, uses off-site preparation so pieces come part built and leaves everything clean and tidy.

His workmanship is excellent, reasonably priced and he is a pleasure to work with. We keep finding more jobs for him to do and would highly recommend his services."

“This was the first time that we were doing such a big project in our home with a brand-new kitchen and Natural Edge Joinery exceeded our expectations.

From the outset, everything was so easy, stress free and nothing was too much trouble. James was awesome! A professional, who knows his products, with attention to detail, provides some great advice and is dedicated to customer satisfaction. We felt very at ease throughout the process and James kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of the final product and his work were top notch.

We highly recommend Natural Edge Joinery for anyone seeking a new kitchen in Hawkes Bay."

“James and the team at Natural Edge Joinery recently designed and installed cabinetry and shelving in our laundry room and we couldn't be happier with the results.
We're a large family with young children and the room always used to be a mess of overflowing coats, school bags and shoes.
James came up with a stylish and efficient design that has put everything in its place and given each person an individual storage space, along with additional storage and shelving. The design has made the room feel bigger, tidier and more usable.
The team doing the install were friendly and professional, arrived on time and were also happy and able to accommodate some last minute design changes (sorry about that!).
I'd recommend James and the team at Natural Edge Joinery to anyone looking for a bespoke design and great service.”

- Andy & Ella

“Natural Edge was recommended to us by a family member, and we have not looked back since our first conversation with James. 

From start to finish the job was exceptional with James keeping us informed every step of the way. James covered everything from easy, all-round access, flexible design, the ultimate solution for our pantry and the overall design and colours are wonderful. We constantly get positive reactions from anyone who comes to our home. I would recommend Natural Edge to anyone who is looking for a professional, top quality kitchen."

“I met James from Natural Edge Joinery approximately 6 months ago via Facebook when I posted for help on supplying some old wardrobe door slide fittings for a rental property. James promptly came to my rescue and supplied and fitted the fittings which worked perfectly.

I was thinking at the time about updating my 24-year-old kitchen at home, so I mentioned this to James and within a few days the process started. James met with me and my wife at home and produced many options and choices regarding kitchen refurbishments to us. James’s knowledge of “how a kitchen should work” was impressive. We decided on a start date which suited all parties, and the rest is history. James’s (and his plumbing & electrical contractors) quality of work was outstanding. James’s attention to detail throughout the project was thorough, accurate and efficient. All our expectations were met and within the quoted budget and time frame. We would most definitely recommend Natural Edge Joinery to anyone wanting their kitchen to look as great as ours.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with a Natural Edge Joinery, and we couldn't be more impressed with their craftsmanship and service.

From the initial consultation to the final installation, the entire process was seamless and professional. The team was highly skilled, paying attention to every detail, and the quality of the materials they used was top-notch.

They brought our vision to life, creating beautiful custom pieces that perfectly fit our space. We especially appreciated their punctuality and clear communication throughout the project. If you're looking for high-quality, reliable joinery work, I highly recommend this team from Natural Edge Joinery

“I am very grateful to have been referred to Natural Edge Joinery by my Builder. Every feature I asked for, James said he could do it, nothing was a problem. My kitchen and pantry was built to fit my home, my appliances and my dreams. I have the exact kitchen and walk-in pantry I had hoped for, there is nothing I would change.

James focuses on detail and quality which has resulted in an exceptional outcome. There was nothing that had to be redone or modified. He worked co-operatively with all the other tradesmen (sparky, plumber, builder, stone top producer) in order to complete the job. Everything was installed professionally and correctly the first time and the overall job was completed as agreed, on time and on budget.

I recommend anyone wanting a new kitchen or other cabinetry work done to call James at Natural Edge Joinery and experience the excellent service and results they deliver.”
