The Original Thinking Behind Living Walls Joinery
Living Walls Joinery was established in 2018 specifically to design and install wainscoting, building on years of hands-on experience that began with an apprenticeship served working on period properties in the United Kingdom.
Since then, I’ve spent years developing my designs, styles, names, refining installation methods and making the entire process simpler and more affordable for customers.
In more recent years, I’ve watched new businesses emerge and adopt remarkably similar designs, names, marketing ideas and even ways of pricing their work. Some have taken inspiration. Others have gone considerably further.
Every installation shown on this website is genuinely my own work. Every photograph represents a project I’ve personally completed and when you choose Living Walls Joinery, you can be confident of authentic, quality results from decades of knowledge and experience.

Stairs & Variations
Stair wall sections x2 the applicable metre rate
Ceiling heights above 3m add 10% per 0.3m of additional height
Double wainscoting x1.5 the applicable metre rate (secondary wainscoting panel inside of each panel)
How It Works – Simple & Transparent Process
1. Choose Your Style - Pick from our most popular styles - all designs are fully customised to your preference of height, layout and spacing for a truly bespoke installation.
3. Price Your Walls - Download my home measuring guide & booking form and use this to determine wall measurements and pricing to complete your wainscoting, inclusive of all materials and labour.
4. Pre-installation Design - Before anything is cut we work through each area together, discussing the various layout options that will result in a fantastic result sympathetic to the home and your design direction (this is done the morning of installation).
5. Professional Installation - I personally prepare and install the wainscoting, using my premium grade genuine pine mouldings. All cutting is done inside of my mobile workshop, keeping your home free from dust, driveway clean, with minimal noise for you and your neighbours!
It’s That Simple. No hidden costs - just transparent upfront pricing and a professional, friendly service to create beautiful interior accents for your home.

A purpose built workshop that comes to you
To ensure the very best work, I created a purpose-built mobile workshop designed to produce the most accurate and repeatable wainscoting, cut to the millimetre as if in a factory.
All of my tooling is focused to enable wainscoting on all kinds of surfaces, including render, with minimal patching required for a superior finish.
All power tools inside are battery powered, with active dust extraction and my ladders and equipment are kept clean for interior use only. Noise is shielded from you and your neighbours and the entire area is fully lit with the ability to continue rain or shine, all the while keeping the materials dry and arrow straight.
We design together
Having worked in this field for so long, I am able to provide well placed advice and design insights as we design a layout together in your space.
I have collaborated with architects, interior designers, fashion houses, bridal studios, and a huge cross section of the public, each time taking in new ideas and perspectives.
Not only can I complete the installation, I can tailor every wall to produce the look and feel you are looking for on the back of my extensive experience.
Transparent, competitive pricing
I don't adjust prices by suburb or house value. I keep my overheads low, materials premium and prices fair and transparent for all.
You can make adjustments
Everything is cut to suit your walls, I tailor every installation to suit you (with some professional guidance to help of course).
Genuine knowledge
Having completed many thousands of walls, each unique in their own way.
Before settling in Australia in 2009 - I originally trained and worked in the UK, where I learned skills from seasoned tradesmen working on period properties and qualifying as a Carpenter & Joiner.
Authentic, friendly service
By nature I am friendly and respectful. I do everything I can to work with each customer and your individual situation.
I try to remain mindful of pets, small children, neighbours sensitive to noise and many other factors that may need to be considered along with a genuine respect for your home and belongings, which I take great care not to disturb.
Increase the value of your home
It's fair to say wainscoting doesn't actually cost you money - done correctly, it makes you money.
Imagine any of the images on our website (all of which are genuine LWJ completed projects) with the wainscoting removed. It would be a hollowing out of their charm and character, in turn reducing their desirability.
Unique finishes that create stunning results
I personally design the mouldings used, with a new pair of profiles for 2026. These designs create crisp lines with deep shadows, drawing out the detailing.
You won't find my mouldings in display homes or the local real estate office. You and your guests will notice the difference of truly bespoke and exclusive interior accents that leave a lasting impression.
Sydney's original, and only true specialist
I set up Living Walls Joinery as a specialist wainscoting company long before it became in vogue.
I know it can be hard to establish the right people for the job and proudly, I remain the only one focussed exclusively on wainscoting, producing results that are second to none.
Am I in Queensland or NSW?
I work in Sydney, where I keep my mobile workshop stationed completing installations through the week. You might catch me on the 6am flight from the Gold Coast on a Monday or Tuesday morning as I return there at the end of each week following our post pandemic sea change from Camden in south west Sydney where Living Walls was established. For all intents and purposes though, you can treat me as a Sydney local through the week!
