Shropshire is a county of timber-framed and brick town houses, stone cottages and scattered rural farmsteads. That is exactly the kind of building stock a run of wall panelling has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our run of wall panelling work is cut to the dimensions taken from your Shropshire property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Wall Panelling & Wainscoting in Shropshire — common questions
Which panelling style suits a modern house?
Board and batten or a simple square shaker grid. Both are geometric and flat, which reads contemporary. Raised and fielded panels look wrong outside a period setting.
Is it fixed to the wall or built as panels?
Both methods work. On a flat wall we fix rails and stiles directly. On an uneven wall a backing board goes on first, which costs a little more but gives a perfectly flat face.
What material do you use?
Moisture-resistant MDF for painted work. It has no grain to raise, takes a crisp arris and will not move. Solid timber panelling is available for a natural finish but needs framing that allows the panels to move.
Will it make the room feel smaller?
It adds 18 to 25mm to the wall, which nobody notices. Visually, painting the panelling the same colour as the wall above makes the room feel larger, not smaller.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
