About Us
Sam has over 10 years of experience working on high-end products. He began his career as an apprentice in boat building, completing a four-year apprenticeship that laid strong foundations in precision craftsmanship, problem-solving, and attention to detail.
After qualifying, Sam moved into the manufacture and installation of handmade in-frame shaker kitchens, where he further refined his skills and developed a deep understanding of bespoke furniture, fine tolerances, and premium finishes. Working on high-value, detail-driven projects helped shape his approach to joinery—where quality, function, and aesthetics are equally important.
Since establishing Sam Kirby Joinery, Sam has built strong working relationships with builders and interior designers across West Sussex and Hampshire. These collaborations allow him to deliver thoughtfully designed, beautifully made pieces that are tailored to each space and client brief. From bespoke kitchens and fitted furniture to bedrooms, to doors, windows and one-off commissions, every project is approached with the same commitment to craftsmanship and longevity.
All work is handmade with care, combining traditional joinery techniques with modern methods to ensure exceptional results. The focus is always on creating timeless, functional furniture that enhances both the home and the way it is used.
