Pricing

What wall panelling costs in Dublin.

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.

Recessed Panelling

Best value

Backed Wainscoting

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.

From €90 per m

Straight answers

What changes the price

The wall itself

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.

Painted or paint ready

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.

Stairs and awkward runs

A straight hallway wall is straightforward. A staircase, where every square follows the rake, takes more setting out.

The detail

Recessed panelling with mouldings set inside each square is more work than a plain shaker frame. Both are done to the same standard.
