Prothero Carpentry & UPVC

MDF wall panelling and dado rail installed in a bedroom of a Victorian home in Penarth.
While panelling is a traditional feature, this design shows how it can be styled in a clean, modern way—sharp lines, balanced proportions, and a finish that complements contemporary interiors while still respecting the character of the house.

A great example of blending period charm with modern living.

🚪✨ Full Ground-Floor Transformation – Engineered Oak Flooring ✨🏡

A returning customer got in touch after having engineered oak flooring fitted in their rear extension a few years back. They loved it so much that they wanted the same floor continued right through the front room and full hallway — all seamlessly joined into the existing floor.

This one needed:
🔨 Careful removal of old flooring
🔧 Sub-floor prep & self-levelling to bring everything up perfectly
🪵 Precision joining onto the extension flooring so it flows as one continuous space
👌 Fully glued, tight, clean and solid

Swipe through the before and afters — what a difference! The whole ground floor now ties together beautifully with warm, natural engineered oak.

If you're thinking about new flooring, matching existing work, or creating a full-home flow, just drop me a message.

✨ Skirting Upgrade – Same Property as the 1930s Door Install ✨

Another stage of this transformation wrapped up — new skirting fitted throughout the house.

This section was a fun one… the skirting had to run cleanly into the staircase, which meant plenty of careful cutting and shaping to get the lines flowing properly.

🔧 All joints were chamfered so the filler can bond better and leave a seamless, crisp finish once painted.

A bit of graft, a lot of detail, and another tidy result for the customer.
