About Macquarie Joinery

Macquarie Joinery combines professional project management discipline with high quality craftsmanship to give our clients great products at competitive prices with reliable service.

Macquarie Joinery is one of Sydney’s oldest joinery businesses. The business was established in Chipping Norton at the “Old Mill” site in 1979.

Sam Wayland has been the owner of Macquarie Joinery since 2005. He is a professionally trained builder who had worked for many of the major building contractors before running his own businesses. He has worked for Lend Lease, Baulderstone Hornibrook, Thiess Watkins, Watpac and Hughes Brothers.

Macquarie Joinery was originally established with equipment from the Western Timber Company Mill in Dulwich Hill. The Western Timber Company had had a long history from its establishment in Petersham in the 1920s. It was employing at least 20 people when it moved to Dulwich Hill in the early to mid 1930s where it operated the Western Timber Company Mill.

The Mill was built in the industrial strip next to the goods line. The company was able to sell their products all over NSW because of the easy access to rail transport. The Mill provided employment for many local residents. It was demolished in the 1970s.

What we do

Macquarie Joinery manufactures quality timber windows and doors to client specifications. We specialise in timber refurbishments, restorations, and period reconstructions as well as joinery for modern architecture where the qualities of wood are valued.

Some of our major clients among building contractors include Buildcorp, Hansen Yuncken, and Built. For the last eight years we have been restoring school buildings for the NSW Department of Public Works.

Some of our prestige projects include: No 1 Fire Station Castlereagh Street, the Hero of Waterloo Hotel at the Rocks, and the Culwulla Chambers on Clarence.

We recreate timber heritage windows and doors for period houses mostly from the 1850s to the 1950s. We also hand make contemporary timber windows and doors for architect designed homes.

Our clients want hand built joinery to give their homes or buildings the touch of class that only timber provides. They have asked us to manufacture windows and doors for harbourside homes on the Lower North Shore, for new houses in the Eastern Suburbs, for large Victorian homes in Sydney’s inner west, and for homes in the Western and Southern suburbs, wherever quality work is needed.
