MJR Providing carpentry, home improvements and home maintenance services. Which is a key reason why I started to do more of my own jobs, and for family and friends.

My name is Malachy Rooney, I provide carpentry, improvements and maintenance services in and around homes. Thank you for visiting my page and I’d be pleased to discuss your next project.

I’m passionate about all things related to carpentry and I’ve always enjoyed working with wood. I like to create and find the process very enjoyable and rewarding – I find myself in my ‘element’. Like

many home owners, I’ve had tradesmen over the years and I became increasingly frustrated with a lack of communication, poor quality of work – for their chosen ‘profession’ – and trust rapidly fading away. In 2022 – listening to my inner voice and to fulfil an ambition – I decided to embark on a second career in carpentry and joinery, leaving a professional role in the automotive industry to work with a furniture making business, and in 2023 work with a joinery and shopfitting company, and it 2024 setting up my own business.

Airing cupboard doors and shelving installed following a new boiler installation. The doors were made from 18mm MDF, cut to size and scribed for a good fit. Flush hinges were fitted along with generously sized handles to ensure smooth and easy operation. Finished in a durable white satin for a clean look.

Just finished a kitchen door repair for a customer. This door had suffered water damage and had started to come apart, which meant it wasn’t closing properly, and wasn’t looking great either. I carefully took the door apart, removed the raised panel, cleaned off the old glue, sanded, clamped and re-glued everything before refitting it. A job that required patience and a light touch – but very rewarding to bring it back to life!

I completed some fence repairs this week. First, three wooden posts had rotted through at ground level, so I installed concrete spurs and set them in place with Postcrete. I then used coach screws to secure each spur to the existing wooden post. Next, I built a new panel — with mortise-and-tenon joints for the frame — to screen off an open area. It was enjoyable work, using a mix of tools and techniques.
