  • Blum Merivobox & Legrabox runners for smooth, effortless movement

When it comes to kitchens, great design is about more than looks. It’s about creating a space that works for the people who use it every day — balancing practicality, durability, and style.

At Finesse Joinery, we’re proud to be members of the Master Joiners Association and the National Kitchen & Bathroom Association (NKBA), and this recognition reinforces our place as one of Christchurch’s most trusted kitchen specialists.
