Custom Joinery
Custom joinery is what you reach for when nothing off a shelf fits the space. Laundries, media walls, study nooks, understair storage, window seats, entry benches and one off pieces. Everything is drawn in 3D and approved before a sheet is opened, machined on the CNC at our Huskisson workshop, then fitted by the same crew that built it. Wollongong sits on a narrow strip between the escarpment and the sea, so a home here can easily be split level or built into a slope, and those are exactly the rooms a standard cabinet will not sit in.

A laundry is a small room asked to do a lot, and it is usually the room joinery improves most per dollar. A benchtop over the machines to fold on, a tall broom cupboard, a proper sink cabinet, and enough drawer space that the ironing board is not living behind the door. We set it out around the plumbing and the machines you already own, then build it as one run rather than three separate cupboards.
A media wall built in beats a unit bought in, because the cabling, the ventilation and the wall fixings are designed in rather than worked around afterwards. We plan where the power and the data come out, leave the equipment somewhere it can breathe, and run the joinery the full width of the wall so the television is part of the room instead of an object sitting in front of it. Open shelving, closed storage or both.
The awkward spaces are where custom cabinetry earns its money. The triangular void under a staircase, a long wall broken by a doorway in the wrong place, an alcove beside a chimney breast. None of them take a factory carcass without leaving a gap you can see from the doorway. We take the measure once the linings are up and the floor is finished, then cut the scribes and the packers to whatever the wall is really doing.
Ashbrook is owned and run by a qualified builder with 15+ years on site, and on a one off piece that changes what you are able to ask for. If a job needs a wall opened, a bulkhead reworked or a floor packed before the joinery goes in, we can tell you at the measure and price it in, rather than finding it on install day. We work out of Huskisson, so the way we run an Illawarra job is fewer visits with each one doing more. A proper measure, an approved 3D drawing, then one delivery and one install.
Our custom joinery page sets out the same work for the Shoalhaven. Where the cabinetry is one item on a longer list, start instead from our Wollongong joinery and cabinetry page.
Fewer visits, each one doing more, because we are coming up the highway rather than around the corner.
