Recessed Panelling
The traditional method — rails and uprights fitted, boarded behind, mouldings set inside each square for real depth.
Pricing
No guessing games. These are honest starting prices per metre, so you know roughly where you stand before you pick up the phone. Every job gets measured properly and quoted for free.
What's included
Every price above includes all materials — timber, mouldings, boards, adhesive, filler, the lot. The only thing not covered is the paint itself.
Add €30 per metre and I'll take the panelling right through to the final coat myself — same hands, same eye, start to finish. That's labour only: the paint is yours to choose, because colour is personal and most people already know the shade they want. If you'd rather not chase it, tell me the colour and I'll pick it up and add it to the quote at cost.

Dado-height wainscoting with two matching mouldings. Suits hallways, staircases and landings.
Applied moulding wainscoting over a backing board — a sheet of MDF fixed over the existing wall with the wainscoting set on top. The cost-effective option, and it covers a wall in poor shape so there is no replastering to pay for first.
Full-wall shaker panelling — clean framed panels with no moulding inside the frame. Suits period homes and new builds alike.
Sound-absorbing timber slat panelling, measured to the wall, cut and joined flush. Price includes the panels.
Filling, sanding and finishing walls glass smooth before painting.
Interior painting, plus the deeper work period homes need — cracks cut out and filled, damaged mouldings rebuilt.
Straight answers
A sound, flat wall is quick. One that needs filling and making good takes longer — or takes a backing board, which is often the cheaper answer.
I can hand it over with the nail holes and joints filled for your own decorator — it will still need a sand and any additional filling after the first coat, at the painter's discretion — or take it right through to the final coat myself. Most people want it finished.
A straight hallway wall is straightforward. A staircase, where every square follows the rake, takes more setting out.
Recessed panelling with mouldings set inside each square is more work than a plain shaker frame. Both are done to the same standard.
Send me a photo of the wall — or the space you want to transform — and I'll come out, measure it and quote it properly. Free, and no obligation.
