Dengate Joinery

Dengate Joinery is a cabinet maker based in Tamworth, New South Wales. The company has provided joinery services for over 50 years and is Australian-owned. It was originally part of the construction company E.G. Dengate and Sons and became a separate entity in 1988. Malcolm Dengate, grandson of E.G. Dengate, led the company when it became Malcolm Dengate Joinery; he passed away in 1995. Current owners are John and Glenys Rule. Dengate Joinery employs a workforce of 12 full-time staff and is a member of WADIC. Its windows and sliding door assemblies have been tested by the CSIRO to comply with Australian Standard AS2047. The company manufactures traditional and architect-designed timber windows and timber doors and serves customers throughout NSW.

It uses mortice, tenoned, and wedged joints and screws frames together. Dengate Joinery is Tamworth's oldest joinery company. Its staff undergo extensive training. The company offers a full consultation and design service and can produce detailed drawings of the final work for approval or modification. It also provides mouldings, curved rafters, computerised routing services, and one-off designed products. Additionally, it manufactures staircases, awnings, casements, bullnose rafters, mouldings, and restoration projects.

Windows and doors come in for particular praise at Dengate Joinery, where the finished work is described as beautifully made and carefully detailed. Both accounts commend the people behind the order, noting friendly and helpful service alongside a willingness to oblige, and one customer records that the order arrived on schedule and was made exactly as intended.

That same buyer weighed up larger window suppliers before choosing this Tamworth maker, accepting a marginally higher price in the belief the standard of work would justify it, and reports being proven right. Service is further described as prompt and efficient. The business covers bespoke joinery, building restoration and manufacturing from its Avro Street premises, opening weekdays.
