Exceptionally talented and will complete your job to exacting standards.

Alex was brilliant. I had a broken lock and could not get in. It looked as though the door would have to be forced. Alex saved the day and with time a patience he got the door open and saved the day.
He arrived quickly and called ahead to give me an ETA.

Martin & Helen
Internal Door Fitter
Have to confess I was not impressed with Alex. If I could give lower than 1 star I would. He quoted £120.00 to fit a door, the door was the exact size so just needed hanging, new hinges on the opposite side and a latch. He completed the job and sent me a bill for £270.00 !!!!.....part of the extra charge was £80.00 to put a bit of filler into the old hing positions. (Most joiners would not charge for filler and £80.00 to fill 3 tiny holes was crazy.) Anyway, I paid him because I'm a nice person. I then checked the door the following day and it didn't shut because he had used a latch that was too short and the door handle hit the frame. I asked him back and I now have a notch cut out of my doorframe for the handle as it would have meant replacing a £250.00 door if I wanted to re do it. He then took away some small pieces of skirting which was to be his next job for me but then quotes £120.00 to cut 4 mitres and fit 2 foot of skirting (yes, you heard correctly £120.00 to fit 2 foot of skirting!) Based on my bad experience with the door and the high price to fit the skirting I asked him not to go ahead. He is now keeping my skirting and refusing to bring it back so it's going to cost me a fortune to have some made to match the mould of the existing skirting. Bearing in mind, I paid him everything he invoiced me for even though the price was well over doubled from his quote and I was a gentleman regarding the state of the door (I could have insisted he replaced the door at his cost) and here I am, £270.00 paid for £120.00 quote, a door that has the handle now cut out of the door frame and he is holding my skirting to ransom unless I pay him a further £120.00 to fit it!.........To say I was unhappy with his workmanship and attitude would be an understatement.

Sharon Foran
Handyman
Alex was friendly and polite, he finished what should have been a pretty quick job but was a tricky, it took longer than anticipated, Alex was professional and completed the work with a smile and tidied up before leaving. We will be back in touch with Pounder Joinery in the future 😀 More...
Julia Walden
Picture Hanging and Art Installation
Alex was very professional and conscientious. Ensured I was happy with where pictures were placed. He also turned his hand to some other jobs, such as door hanging and putting on a vent for me.
He did these additional items without any fuss.
I have already asked him to do some further joinery work and I would not hesitate in recommending him

Walter Gilks
Home Insulation
The job was to insulate the walls and ceiling of an old loft extension. It involved a lot of intricate work replacing all the old boarding with plasterboard in addition to removal and reinstallation of central heating and lighting fitments. Alex worked long hours for several days to complete the task to his high standard on time and within the budget we had agreed at the outset, and he tidied up thoroughly after the work was completed. Throughout the project he gave me detailed accounts of the work to be done and his progress in completing it. More...
Robin Walsh
General Carpentry
Quick and efficient work. Provided aftercare advice and suggestions also.
How long have you been in business?
We have been practicing Carpentry and Joinery for a very long time, and we started our business in 2020 from humble beginnings. Our first job was to fix a garden gate for a customer in Roundhay, Leeds and we've been serving homeowners and businesses ever since
What guarantee does your work come with?
If you're unhappy about anything AT ALL, we recommend speaking to us in the first instance. We value our reputation over short-term profits, so if there's any way we can do a better job for you, communication is key. We will always work closely with clients to ensure their needs are met. ?
What do you love most about your job?
? Dealing with customers.
We strive to be the best when it comes to customer service. We believe being transparent with our customers builds trust, and long-term relationships, which allows us to continue doing what we love
? Building things of beauty.
The whole reason we got into Joinery in the first place, is that we hated current architectural designs and even poorer workmanship. We take great pride in leaving our quality seal of approval on everything that we do, whether it's building a state-of-the-art garden room, or simply replacing a tap. Done right, first time, ever time
? Getting the job done
Most of our clients need somebody reliable, to enter their home, assess what needs doing, and truly listen to what they want. A price for the work needs to be agreed before doing anything, and it needs to be stuck to. Whatever it is that our clients want and need, is what we aim to deliver. No 'surprise VAT' or doing what we want. We get our kicks around 7pm, driving home for the day, after leaving the world a little better that we were here to help people just like ourselves
What inspired you to start your own business?
Poorly ran businesses. Starting from zero knowledge of Joinery and becoming master craftsmen is a journey, and one that we are improving every single day. Throughout our journey, we witnessed many bosses that want to pay their employees in peanuts. Overstressed, underpaid and overworked is the motto of most of the British labour market. These Joiners turn up jobs, after paying thousands of pounds for their own tools, and working day and night, to fix up somebody else's home. When they go home, they don't often get a 'well done' for a good job, or even training when they mess up. This contributes to poor customer service, and 'short-cuts' taken to 'get the job done'.
That's why at Pounder Joinery, we pay our apprentices above minimum wage. Our leadership team have gone through the trials and tribulations in all aspects of joinery, so that we can pass on the knowledge, and skills, and wisdom of many joiners that came before us.
We don't believe in short-cuts, and are always seeking to improve our skillsets, the way we treat our employees, and the way we handle our customer satisfaction. Every member of our team treats people and work with respect so that problems get solved in a timely manner, and people are happy.
We aim to become the best Joiners in Britain, and we won't get there without treating our staff as if they are skilled members of our team, our customers as if we are their humble servants, and ourselves to achieve more and more each and every day.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we get the basics right. We're never aiming to be the 'cheapest', but we always aim to be the best. Our skillsets are unmatched by people who are aiming to lowball clients and win business. We pick and choose our jobs so that we are aligning our skillet perfectly with jobs that are within our realms of capabilities.
