For over 35 years Ponsonby Furniture & Joinery has been designing and creating unique and quality solid wood, hand-crafted furniture and fitted kitchens from its Cumbria workshops, to meet the varying individual needs and desires of our customers, across the Lake District and throughout the UK.

The business was founded in 1984 by Malcolm Mounsey, a fully qualified carpenter, joiner and cabinet maker. Still passionate about his profession, Malcolm has ensured fine cabinet making skills are preserved by employing and training apprentices throughout the full lifespan of his business.

Whilst we are based in Cumbria, not far from the towns of Egremont and Whitehaven and close to the Lake District, we can and do carry out commercial and domestic assignments throughout the UK.

At Ponsonby Furniture & Joinery we aim to deliver a personal, professional service and handcraft solid wood fitted kitchens and furniture to the highest quality and standards.

We pride ourselves in our client centered approach, our attention to detail and our ability to deliver high quality solutions to every project.

We can cater for small and large scale projects alike. From small kitchens for a one-wall space to large kitchens with an island and lots of workspace. But regardless of the project size, we treat all of our clients jobs with the same professionalism and importance. Clients’ needs are carefully listened to and quality solutions designed and delivered, regardless of scale, complexity or budget.

We use various types and species of timber from reliable and renewable sources, which includes English Oak, Ash, Sweet Chestnut, Elm, Cherry, Maple, Walnut, Yew and Mahogany among others. We ensure waste is minimal to ensure such a valuable resource is preserved. Sawdust is used to heat the workshop and shavings used by a local farmer as cattle bedding.

If you are looking for a stunning and bespoke wood fitten kitchen, a piece of kitchen furniture or simply an item to match what you already have, it can be created by the Ponsonby Joinery & Furniture team in our workshop.

Our highly skilled team of joiners, carpenters and craftsmen will ensure that no effort is spared in creating your dream bespoke, solid wood fitted kitchen.

Every piece of kitchen furniture is made for you to your exact requirements which means you can choose the colour, size, interior layout, door furniture, worktops and appliances in order to create your perfect balance of aesthetic beauty, functionality and affordability.

At Ponsonby Furniture & Joinery we understand your kitchen is the heart of your home and a financial as well as emotional investment. It is vital you know what is going on and that your project runs smoothly. This is why we manage the whole process with meticulous detail. Each kitchen is unique; from the initial consultation and planning through to the cabinetry, preparation, delivery and fitting. All the work is carried out by our own team with full control at every stage.

We’re happy to interpret detailed plans, begin from scratch with a blank design or start somewhere in-between. Either way, we’ll look at every project creatively and will be there to assist you during each stage of the process.
