Choose from sapele, oak or Accoya, a wide range of high-performance roof glass and bespoke finishing details. We supply homeowners, builders, developers and trade customers throughout the UK.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Independent feedback from customers who chose Akeley for bespoke hardwood joinery.
“We couldn’t be more impressed with Akeley Joinery. From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful, answering all of our questions while we decided which company to go with. The whole process was seamless, and we’re absolutely delighted with the end product.”
“Our hardwood conservatory was manufactured very accurately using high quality materials. Luke was helpful throughout the process, including arranging for us to visit the workshop. We are extremely pleased with our finished conservatory.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the solid hardwood door Akeley Joinery made for my cottage. The craftsmanship is outstanding; beautifully made, incredibly sturdy, and it fits perfectly with the character of the property.”
“Akeley Joinery played the pivotal role. The boss Luke Wynder designed and manufactured the elegant hardwood structure. For any cost-effective hardwood carpentry project, I would not hesitate to recommend Luke and his team at Akeley.”
“Fantastic team — great products and quick turnarounds. Very responsive and professional. Visited the workshop prior to ordering — great to see their craft. Would very much recommend.”
Because the lantern is designed and manufactured by one team, to your dimensions, rather than selected from a fixed-size system. We combine 3D CAD and CNC accuracy with traditional bench joinery, give you direct access to the people designing the product, and manufacture in our own workshop near Milton Keynes.
Yes. We supply made-to-measure roof lanterns and our wider joinery range throughout the UK, with delivery arranged to suit the project.
We offer sapele, oak and Accoya. Sapele is our standard hardwood, with oak and Accoya available where their appearance or performance better suits the project.
We can specify a wide range of high-performance roof glass, including options from the TuffX Ambience range for solar control, tint, glare reduction, thermal performance, privacy and self-cleaning performance. The exact glass build-up depends on pane size and project requirements.
