Hello, I’m Jason Alexander. I established Living Walls Joinery in 2018 specifically to design and install wainscoting, continuing to build on over 25 years as a qualified carpenter and joiner. My career began with an apprenticeship working on period properties and listed public houses in the UK.
Over the years, I’ve developed my own designs, styles and installation methods, continually refining the process to make quality wainscoting simpler and more affordable for customers.
Every installation shown on this website is genuinely my own work, with photographs of projects I’ve personally completed. When you book Living Walls Joinery, you’re dealing directly with me, from design and supply through to installation.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
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 a 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 throughout the week!
Although I've had many messages of thanks over the years, I don't have many Google reviews as I would never ask or send a follow up link to a QR - I simply leave you in peace. Every review I do get is by complete unsolicited choice and for those, I say a big thank you for taking the time to write.

I didn’t establish Living Walls Joinery to follow a trend. I built it on over 25 years of carpentry experience, an understanding of architectural detailing and a genuine passion for beautifully designed and installed wainscoting.
Long before wainscoting became a popular side offering among Sydney carpentry businesses, I was developing my own styles, refining installation methods and establishing a straightforward approach to fixed per-metre pricing, measuring guides and booking processes. These weren’t ideas put together overnight. They took years of practical experience, investment and continuous improvement.
Over the years, I’ve watched elements of my approach appear elsewhere, sometimes extending well beyond wainscoting itself to replicating the way services are presented, priced, explained and marketed. These original ideas took time, knowledge and effort to develop. Imitating them may look the part but the substance behind simply isn't there.
I welcome genuine competition. It gives customers more choice and encourages higher standards. But there’s a clear difference between developing your own expertise and repeatedly reproducing the appearance, ideas and business approach of someone who has already done the groundwork.
Having worked with architects, luxury builders, fashion houses, interior designers and hundreds of homeowners, I know there’s a genuine art to getting wainscoting right. Understanding proportion, balance, architectural style and how a design works within a particular space comes from years of hands-on experience, not simply learning how to cut and install rudimentary patterns.
A similar-looking website doesn’t establish equivalent experience. Matching pricing structures and service descriptions doesn’t demonstrate matching expertise. And adopting someone else’s approach doesn’t recreate the knowledge behind it.
There’s a considerable difference between being able to install wainscoting and knowing how to design it properly. Poor proportions, awkward layouts and basic detailing mistakes can be surprisingly obvious to an experienced eye.
Your home shouldn’t be where the finer points of wainscoting design and installation are learned. Genuine expertise is passed down from older hands, earned over years and not simply acquired by studying a competitor’s website.
