Packing, mounting and practical jobs
Shaker, picture-frame and full-height feature walls across Rugby, Coventry, Leamington Spa and nearby towns.
A well-set-out panelled wall changes a room more than almost anything else for the money. It just has to be done carefully. Spacing has to be balanced to the wall you actually have, joints have to disappear and the paint has to finish crisp. Houlton Handyman Services supplies, fits and paints wall panelling for homes within about 20 miles of Houlton: Rugby, Coventry, Leamington Spa, Daventry, Lutterworth, Southam and the towns in between. We handle the whole job, from the first pencil line to the last coat of paint.
What's included
A layout drawn to your wall, with panel widths balanced side to side and worked around windows, radiators, sockets and switches
Moisture-resistant MDF, suitable for hallways and busy family rooms
Fixed with grab adhesive and pins, then filled, sanded and caulked so the panelling looks part of the wall
Primer and two finish coats in your colour (or labour-only if you'd rather paint it yourself)
Dust sheets down and a tidy finish when the job is done
Styles
Shaker panelling: clean, square panels. Works in new-builds and period homes alike.
Picture-frame / box panelling: mitred moulding frames for a more classic, tailored look.
Half-height with top rail: the practical choice for hallways and dining rooms. It takes the knocks and hides scuffs.
Full-height feature walls: behind the bed, around the TV or across a living-room wall.
Already bought a kit? MDF strip kits from Wickes, B&Q or Amazon can be fitted and finished for you, labour-only.

Agree the layout and colour. The panel spacing is marked out on the wall before anything is fixed.
Fit day. Panelling is fixed, filled and caulked.
Finish. Primer and two coats once everything has set, so the joints don't crack. A typical feature wall is two visits.
Every wall is different, so we'll give you a free, fixed written quote after seeing photos and measurements, before any work starts.
