About MacIntyre Carpentry & Joinery
MacIntyre Carpentry & Joinery is a small bespoke joinery business based in Leiston on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. We hand-make timber windows, doors, gates, staircases and furniture in Accoya and oak, mostly manufactured in our workshop, and we also carry out a good deal of on-site carpentry — bridging the gap between joinery and carpentry — often on period and listed buildings.
Things to consider
You must be able to get to Leiston each morning. We operate out of Leiston and can take you to the workshop from there.
