About
A time-served carpenter and joiner who became a window and door technician, working across Whangaparāoa, Rodney and the North Shore.
I started learning joinery at the age of five. My grandfather owned a joinery workshop and employed my father there as a joiner, so the trade was already two generations deep before I picked up a tool.
My father bought me my first tool box at that age and used to bring home offcuts of timber for me to play around with. That led to a four year carpentry and joinery apprenticeship, served while working in my father's joinery, and from there I went out on my own as a self-employed carpenter and joiner.
Working through job after job, I kept getting enquiries for aluminium and timber window and door repairs. It became clear there was real demand for window and door technicians and no easy way for people to find one, so I opened a company customers could actually search for when a window or door needed fixing.
The carpentry and joinery background sits underneath the technician work, and that combination is the point. It means I can identify and repair any problem on aluminium or timber joinery — and where a repair isn't the answer, we supply and install new windows and doors as well.
Window, Door Repairs and Installations Ltd already has a lot of happy customers behind it. We'd like you to be one of them.

Most window and door technicians come at the work from the hardware side. Coming at it from joinery changes what's possible on a job.
Aluminium and timber, repairs and installations. A job doesn't stall because the frame turned out to be something other than expected, and nothing gets handed on to a second trade halfway through.
When a window won't close, the cause is often in the jamb or the structure around it. A joiner can see that, price it and put it right in the same visit instead of fitting new hardware into rotten timber.
Discontinued handles, stays, locks and slider carriages are routine on older joinery. We source a suitable alternative that fits the existing preparation rather than condemning the whole unit.
A repair is usually cheaper and often right. But we won't patch something that isn't going to last a reasonable length of time — we'll tell you what we'd do if it were our house and let you decide.
