At M. Allen Carpentry, we are an independent family run carpentry & joinery business based in Hildenborough / Tonbridge. Working across West Kent. Our focus is high-quality internal carpentry and fitted furniture — from kitchens and wardrobes to alcove units and bespoke storage. That’s being said, we do enjoy a garden project in the sunshine of the summer months!
With over 35 years of combined experience, we bring care, consistency and solid craftsmanship to every job. Whether it’s a full kitchen fit or a single built-in, we take the time to get it right.
We don’t take on dozens of projects at once. Almost all of our work is for homeowners, and we keep things personal — from the first conversation to the final fit. That means turning up on time, working cleanly, and communicating clearly throughout. If something needs changing along the way, we’ll find a way to make it work without fuss. If you’re not sure what will suit the space best, we’ll help you explore the options and land on something that feels right for your home.
Our prices are competitive and transparent with no VAT, and we aim to get the most out of your budget without cutting corners. You’ll always know what to expect, and we’re happy to offer honest advice if you’re comparing options.
Much of our work comes through word of mouth, and we’re proud to have built a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and a personal approach that puts the client first. We know how important it is to feel comfortable with who’s working in your home — and we take that responsibility seriously.
If you’re planning a kitchen, fitted furniture or any other internal / external joinery, we’d be glad to help — Just get in touch.

Mike did an outstanding job building and fitting two doors and repairing our wooden staircase. His craftsmanship was top-notch, with attention to detail and a professional approach. The doors fit perfectly, and the staircase repair was both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. He was punctual, efficient, and kept the area tidy. Highly recommend Mike for reliable and high-quality carpentry work!
I highly recommend Mike, he is a quality carpenter who has repaired our staircase, fitted doors, built a cabinet from scratch , customise another one and created a bespoke work station He is reliable, professional , punctual, tidy , a problem solver and innovative. His prices are fair and quotes are straightforward. All round excellent tradesperson.
I booked Mike in for various projects during the renovation of my flat and I couldn’t believe how it turned out!
I felt that he really cared about meeting my preferences and turning an out of date flat into a brand new flat whilst sticking within my budget. This was a real problem with previous carpenters I contracted.
Overall, I was really impressed and would highly recommend Mike to anyone who just wants a reliable, professional and easy to work with carpenter.
Had a large bespoke double wardrobe made and fitted to the space we had. After discussing ideas with Mike, even down to having a pull out mirror fitted into the design, (which is our favourite part.) we gave the go ahead… And WOW! we were so impressed with the service and quality of the work we would definitely like him to return to do other projects with us in the near future. Worth every penny. Never let us down.
Mike is a very nice and polite gentleman, we have used Mike twice, his prices are very reasonable, he does a very good job of everything he has done for us, we have already asked Mike if he would be willing to do some more work for us next year. Mike is very thorough in what he does and always cleans up after himself. I would recommend Mike every time.
