Stirling is a county of sandstone villas, conservation-area town houses and rural farmhouses. 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
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For wall panelling & wainscoting in Stirling we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Wall Panelling & Wainscoting in Stirling — common questions
How high should panelling go?
Dado height at roughly one third of the wall — usually 900mm to 1,100mm — for a traditional room. Full height for drama in a hallway or behind a bed. Two thirds height reads awkward and is worth avoiding.
Can panelling go over a chimney breast or around a radiator?
Yes. Setting out is the whole job here — the panel widths are calculated so the divisions land sensibly either side of features rather than a half panel appearing at a corner.
Does it need to be painted on site?
Panelling is usually installed primed and painted in place, because the fixing and filling has to happen first. We can supply it sprayed if a decorator is doing a cut-in only.
Can sockets and switches stay where they are?
They need extending forward by the panel thickness with a spacer collar — a small electrical job. We mark the positions and cut the apertures to suit.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
