JH Carpentry was established in 2009 by James Haycock, a Jersey man who recognised the need for greater personalised service and creative design in the carpentry industry.

Over the past 10 years, James has passionately grown the company not only in its size but within their services, expertise and immaculate standards of workmanship.

We love being able to create something to a personalised brief so bespoke design has definitely become our forte. We will never produce off the shelf products but instead, make everything individually by hand as a one off on request.

Working with wood is one of the oldest traditions known to man but despite its history, it's really important to us to evolve the possibilities of the trade whilst staying true to traditions.

We follow traditional designs and methods but by using modern specialist tools and design methods, we can experiment with shapes, materials and products whilst still achieving that professional, neat finish in what the client has requested.

It’s a very raw process when you're working with a naturally grown material but there is so much versatility in what you can achieve.

We have a lot of returning customers now as from an intricate design brief and concept to an exceptional finish, we hold ourselves consistently to the highest standard of workmanship throughout

We engaged James and JH Carpentry to provide improved desks for our assisted digital area in Customer and Local Services. James and the team were very punctual and professional. We and the customers are very happy with the final product.

Our Team

Working with what can often be a temperamental material can be challenging so that's why teamwork is so crucial, everyone can bring in their own ideas and concept to achieve something quite special. There is a real sense of achievement to take a step back at its completion and appreciate a finished product together.
