Mid-Canterbury’s leaders in custom kitchens and timber joinery

Ashburton Joinery Mastercraft Kitchens is a true Canterbury legacy business with an unbroken trading history reaching all the way back to 1889.

Today, the company is proudly owned and operated by James Donaldson and Billy Nolan, qualified joiners with over 60 years combined experience.

James and Billy’s long-term success is based on their total dedication to quality and exceptional service. Their factory team is an integral part of that, several of whom have nearly 50 years of experience on the tools. What that means for you is craftsmanship of the highest quality reinforced by a commitment to using only the highest quality materials, which are New Zealand-made whenever possible.

Why choose us

Fully customised joinery to meet your exact requirements

At Ashburton Joinery Mastercraft Kitchens we never take shortcuts, and it shows in the quality of our work. All our joinery is designed and custom built for your project rather than mass produced to suit a corporate bottom line.

We’re not satisfied until you’re completely satisfied. And that’s why most of our business comes from referrals from happy customers who love what we’ve done for them. Ashburton Joinery Mastercraft Kitchens work throughout the wider Mid-Canterbury region including Hinds, Geraldine, Temuka, Timaru, Fairlie, Tekapo, Twizel, Mayfield, Staverley, Methven, Rakaia, Winchmore, Burnham, Lincoln, Leeston and surrounding areas. We’re also happy to go further afield.

Testimonials

We have been very satisfied with our Mastercraft kitchen from the first design stages through to the finished product. What impressed us was the care and tradesman like way they measured and double checked and communicated with us through the stages. The finish was superb and the installers were absolutely fantastic with their quality finish. We would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a new kitchen.

Billy and James were fantastic to work with, their attention to detail and ability to foresee problems was amazing. We enjoyed the whole process start to finish, and no request was too difficult to accommodate. They were totally knowledgeable on the products we used and always offered sound and honest advice. They were more than willing to take any of our ideas on board and try to make them work.
