About Us
About Company
At No.8 Workshop, we’re all about bringing old timber back to life.
No.8 Sustainable Workshop was born from a love of timber, a respect for heritage, and a drive to do things better — for people and the planet.
Based in Seaview, Lower Hutt, we’ve been working with native timber since 2013, crafting sustainable joinery, restoring doors and windows, and giving a second life to materials that deserve more than landfill.
As a small team with big values, we combine traditional techniques, modern solutions, and a deep commitment to sustainability and communit
We’re not a factory line — we’re hands-on, heart-first makers who believe in doing the job properly.
Our Vision
To lead the way in eco-conscious restoration and joinery in Aotearoa — where every home can hold on to its character, every piece of timber gets a second chance, and every project makes a positive impact on both people and the planet.
Our Mission
To restore, create and preserve with purpose — crafting high-quality timber joinery that respects the past, improves the present, and protects the future.
Our Values
Wairuatanga (Spirituality)
We honour the cultural and spiritual connection to timber, especially native kauri. This guides us to work respectfully with nature and heritage.
Whanaungatanga (Family and Teamwork)
We’re a close-knit team that values respect, collaboration, and balancing work with life — working together to achieve great results.
Kaitiakitanga (Environmental Stewardship)
Caring for the environment is at our core. We use recycled native timber, minimise waste, and protect Aotearoa’s natural resources for future generations.
Manaakitanga (Care and Respect)
We build honest, respectful relationships with our customers, team, and community — creating a supportive and trustworthy environment.
Auahatanga (Innovation and Growth)
We embrace creativity and continuous learning to improve our craft and adapt to changing needs and technologies.
