Wall Panelling in Lichfield
Bespoke wall panelling designed, built and finished across Lichfield (WS13–WS14). Hallways, bedrooms, lounges and staircase walls — measured, fitted, filled, caulked and finished to a sharp, joint-free standard. We work across Lichfield regularly — period homes near the Cathedral as well as newer family housing on the outskirts.
Wall panelling done badly is obvious — wonky proportions, visible joints, paint pooling in the corners. Done properly it lifts a room. In Lichfield we'll measure each wall against the ceiling height, skirting and door positions, then draw a layout that actually fits the room rather than forcing a generic template onto it.
Lichfield's housing runs from Georgian and Victorian townhouses around the Cathedral Close and Beacon Street through to newer family homes on the developments off Boley Park and the A38. The older stock often needs breathable systems and patient preparation; the modern stock just needs the same careful approach with a different paint specification. We build using MR-MDF profiles with concealed fixings, fill every joint, caulk every line and prime properly before the top coats. Where the panelling deserves a furniture-grade finish — feature walls, larger lounges, hallways — we'll spray it on site under containment.
Most Lichfield panelling projects run over four to seven working days for a single wall or hallway, longer for multi-room schemes. We always finish the surrounding walls and woodwork too, so the new panelling sits properly into the rest of the room.

Lichfield — common questions.
Do you install wall panelling in Lichfield?+
Yes — wall panelling is one of our most regularly booked services across Lichfield and the surrounding villages. We design, install and finish in one project rather than handing off between trades.
Can you paint the panelling once it's fitted?+
Yes — the install and the finish are part of the same job. We fill, caulk, prime and then top-coat (brushed or sprayed) as one continuous workflow.
Can panelling go onto uneven walls?+
Usually yes — modern MR-MDF panelling can absorb a surprising amount of wall irregularity, and we'll skim, batten or pack out where the wall really won't co-operate.
Is MDF panelling suitable for hallways?+
Yes — and it's one of our most common briefs. With a proper primer and a hard-wearing water-based eggshell top coat it holds up to bag knocks, shoes and general traffic.
Can you match the panelling colour to the existing room?+
Yes. We can spectro-match an existing colour or work to a Farrow & Ball / Little Greene / Mylands reference.
