Kitchen Design & Build
Custom Joinery That Fits Your Life
A great kitchen isn’t just about looks—it needs to work for the way you live. We design and build kitchens that are both practical and beautifully made, tailored to suit your home, your taste, and your daily routine. Whether you’re after something classic, contemporary, or completely one-of-a-kind, we’ll help bring it to life with quality materials and solid craftsmanship.
Collaborative Kitchen Design
A Hands-On Process with Honest Advice
We don’t hand you a catalogue and ask you to choose—we sit down with you and work it out together. Whether you’re building new or renovating an older kitchen, we take the time to understand how you use the space and what matters most. Some clients come in with drawings, others with a rough idea—we’re happy either way. Our job is to listen, offer advice when it’s needed, and make sure the end result feels right for your home.
Styles to Suit Every Home
Traditional, Modern, or Something in Between
We build kitchens to match all kinds of homes—whether it’s a character villa that needs something in keeping with its age, or a new build that calls for a clean, modern finish. Our team has experience across a wide range of styles, and we’re just as comfortable working with solid timber and traditional detailing as we are with sleek lines and minimalist fittings. Whatever your taste, we’ll help you get a kitchen that fits the space and feels like it belongs.
Full Build and Installation
From Cabinets to Completion
We handle everything in-house—from the joinery to the final fit. Once the design is signed off, we get to work building your kitchen with care and precision. Our team takes pride in the details, whether it’s making sure the cabinetry lines up perfectly or double-checking the hardware works the way it should.
If your project involves other trades, we can coordinate the whole thing—bringing in trusted electricians, plumbers, tilers, and other specialists as needed. That means less hassle for you, and a finished kitchen that’s ready to use.
Quality Materials and Craftsmanship
Built to Last, Finished by Hand
We don’t cut corners when it comes to materials. Every kitchen we build uses products we trust—solid timber, moisture-resistant MDF, HPL plywood, laminated veneer, and acrylic benchtops. We choose the right materials for each job, balancing durability, appearance, and budget.
The joinery is made to order in our workshop, and every piece is finished by hand. From soft-close drawers and premium hinges to push-to-open systems, we use hardware that feels good to use and keeps working for years.
Smart Storage and Custom Solutions
Practical Ideas, Made to Fit
Good storage makes a big difference in how a kitchen works day to day. We design custom solutions to make the most of your space—pull-out pantries, corner units, integrated bins, and built-in appliances that keep things tidy without giving up convenience.
Whether your kitchen is large or compact, we’ll help you get the best use out of every part of it. Because we build everything ourselves, we’re not limited to standard sizes or shapes—if it needs to be made to fit, we can do it.
Why Choose Geoff Locke Cabinetmaker
Experience You Can Count On
We’re a family business with over 130 years of combined experience in joinery. That history shows in the way we work—with care, consistency, and a strong focus on getting things right. Whether we’re building a one-off kitchen for a homeowner or working alongside architects and builders on a larger project, we bring the same attention to detail and pride in our craft.
We back our workmanship and use materials that come with manufacturer warranties. Most of our work comes through word of mouth, and we think that says a lot about the kind of service we offer.
Service Area
Northland Based, Auckland by Project
