Panelling Installation & Painting London

Panelling Painting by K Wyatt Decorators

As panelling painting specialists in Hammersmith and Fulham with over a decade of experience, we understand that wood panelling represents some of the most characterful and valuable features in London homes, deserving expert treatment that preserves their beauty whilst updating their appearance for contemporary living. Last month, we completed a stunning restoration for a family in a Georgian townhouse near Hammersmith Common whose original 18th-century panelling had been painted multiple times over the centuries. Using our multi-generational expertise and traditional techniques, we carefully stripped back the layers, restored the wood's natural beauty, and applied a sophisticated modern finish that honours the panelling's heritage whilst perfectly complementing their contemporary lifestyle.

We know that panelling painting requires far more than standard wall painting skills. Whether you're dealing with period panelling in Victorian terraces around Ravenscourt Park that needs sensitive restoration, or modern wall panelling installations requiring flawless contemporary finishes, our specialist knowledge ensures every groove, moulding, and detail receives the attention it deserves. From understanding which preparation methods suit different wood types to selecting paints that enhance rather than hide beautiful grain patterns, our comprehensive approach delivers results that transform rooms whilst respecting architectural heritage.

Our City & Guilds qualified craftsmen combine traditional hand-painting techniques with modern paint technology, ensuring every panelling project achieves the perfect balance between preserving character and meeting contemporary performance standards. Throughout Hammersmith and Fulham Chelsea, and Chiswick, we've helped homeowners rediscover the stunning potential of panelled rooms, creating elegant spaces that showcase these architectural treasures.

Our Panelling Painting Services

Period Panelling Restoration & Heritage Finishes

Our period panelling restoration service specialises in breathing new life into historic wood panelling found throughout Hammersmith and Fulham, Chelsea, and Chiswick's heritage properties. Working with Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian panelling requires understanding traditional construction methods, wood types, and original finishing techniques. We carefully assess each installation to determine the most appropriate restoration approach, whether that involves gentle cleaning and refinishing or more extensive preparation and repainting.

Our heritage finishing expertise includes traditional techniques like limewash applications for authentic period feels, specialist primers for old wood surfaces, and paint systems that allow the wood to breathe naturally. We understand the importance of preserving original details like carved mouldings, raised panels, and decorative elements that make period panelling so distinctive. Working in conservation areas around Brook Green and listed buildings throughout West London, we ensure our restoration work respects planning guidelines whilst delivering stunning results that enhance both property values and living enjoyment.

Modern Wall Panelling & Contemporary Finishes

Contemporary wall panelling installations require different expertise, focusing on achieving flawless, smooth finishes that complement modern interior design trends. Our modern panelling painting service works with MDF, plywood, and engineered wood systems, using advanced paint technologies that deliver factory-smooth results perfect for today's minimalist and contemporary aesthetics.

We specialise in creating seamless finishes that hide joints and fixings, using specialist primers and multiple thin coats to achieve the perfect surface for contemporary colour schemes. Our modern panelling expertise includes understanding how different lighting affects painted panelling, ensuring your chosen colours work beautifully throughout the day and coordinate perfectly with your existing décor. Whether you're installing feature walls in bedrooms, creating elegant dining room panelling, or adding character to modern living spaces, our finishing techniques ensure professional results that enhance your interior design vision.

Specialist Preparation & Protective Finishes

The key to long-lasting panelling painting lies in thorough preparation and appropriate protective finishing systems. Our specialist preparation service addresses the unique challenges panelling presents, from dealing with multiple wood grains and joint lines to ensuring paint adhesion across different surface textures. We use specialist sanders designed for detailed work, ensuring every moulding and groove receives proper preparation without damaging delicate features.

Our protective finishing systems are selected specifically for each project's requirements, considering factors like room usage, moisture exposure, and desired durability. Kitchen panelling requires different protection than bedroom installations, whilst period panelling in hallways needs finishes that withstand higher traffic than panelling in formal dining rooms. We coordinate our protective systems with appropriate primers, undercoats, and topcoats that work together to provide maximum durability whilst maintaining the beautiful appearance that makes panelled rooms so distinctive and valuable.
