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 so quality wainscoting can be easier to organise and more accessible by breaking it down into a few simple steps.
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.
How It Works – Simple & Transparent Process
1. Choose Your Style - Pick from the 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 below 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.

I complete every job with a fully equipped mobile workshop, which I’ve personally designed and custom-built specifically for wainscoting installations.
Rather than relying on temporary workbenches, my workshop brings factory-level precision directly to your property, with stable, calibrated equipment to produce consistently accurate, millimetre-perfect cuts. Every tool from batteries to ladders is kept immaculate and used exclusively for indoor work.
All materials are securely stored inside, kept straight, dry and protected from the elements to prevent warping or damage. Specialist tooling also allows me to work accurately with different wall surfaces and make precise adjustments on site.
Every piece is cut and prepared inside the workshop with full dust extraction, keeping noise, dust, machinery and mess away from your home and driveway. It also allows me to work in virtually any weather.
The result is beautifully precise wainscoting, installed efficiently with minimal disruption to your home.
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.
In recent 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.
Painting & Finishing
Wainscoting is supplied and professionally installed ready for finishing, as the final preparation and painting should be carried out separately by a skilled painter. Painting is a trade in its own right, and achieving a beautiful finish involves more than simply applying paint. Fine filling, caulking and preparation, although minimal are all part of a painter’s expertise, and when its the walls of your home in question, its important use a professional to ensure everything looks seemless.
I’ve been recommending the same excellent painter for the best part of a decade, and he does an outstanding job finishing wainscoting. If you don’t already have a painter organised, simply ask me for his details and I’ll pass them on so you can arrange everything directly. I have no financial arrangement with the painter I recommend. I’ve continued recommending him purely because of the quality of his work and the customer feedback received, as I want your home to look its absolute best once everything is finished.
You’re equally welcome to use your own trusted painter, take care of the painting yourself, or incorporate it into a larger painting job. This works particularly well with renovations and new builds, or if you’d like to freshen up the rest of the room at the same time. Keeping the painting separate gives you complete flexibility over the timing, extent of the work and who carries it out without any mark-ups or middle men.
Although I've had many messages of thanks over the years, I don't have many reviews as I simply don’t like to ask. Any review you come across is unsolicited, by choice, and for those I say thank you for taking the time to write.
