humble BEGINNINGS
I am Maxwell, the man behind Maxwell’s Carpentry...
After training as a Mechanical Engineer in my teens, I turned my attention towards working with wood and have been running my own carpentry business across the south coast for many years, building up a wealth of practical skills and experience resulting from numerous carpentry and joinery projects.
In 2011 after buying my own wooden boat Hesperus, I wanted to learn more about the art of boatbuilding,
so I returned to college to train as a Shipwright. Earning both a level 3 NVQ and a City & Guilds Diploma in
Wooden Boat Building. I then went on to obtain teaching and assessing qualifications and for a short while
worked as as a boatbuilding instructor in Portsmouth.
Maxwell’s Carpentry offers a broad and diverse range of carpentry and joinery solutions for the household,
workspace and boat. Whether you require a bespoke item of furniture for your home, the woodwork on your boat is in need of some TLC or you simply have an idea you wish to bring to life, I would love to help.
I work closely with my clients throughout the entire process, from design to delivery, ensuring that I artfully transform your imaginations into reality. Beginning with a practical consultation and a free quote, through to the design, creation and implementation of your desired carpentry solution, finished with excellent craftsmanship and
to the highest standards, each project is treated with equal importance and no job is too small.
A range of services are available, including bespoke furniture and storage solutions, traditional wooden
boat building and repair and much, much more. Please view the services page for more detailed descriptions.
Maxwell’s Carpentry is founded upon the core values of trust, integrity and unfailing quality.
Employing a conscientious attitude at all times, I take pride in being neat, tidy and respectful of your home
and belongings. I take this very seriously, I always try to minimise the amount of disruption experienced
and ensuring that your home is left exactly as it was found.
I am able to deliver carpentry solutions to suit your every need and specification, utilising my extensive
skills and passion to exceed your expectations every time, but never your budget.
