Our story · Jon & Sonny

A father and son.
A shared eye for detail.

Raised Panelling is a father and son business built on decades of traditional joinery experience and a shared belief that true craftsmanship should never be compromised.

Jon · Joinery foundations

Joinery roots, since 1984.

In 1984, Jon began his joinery career at Tottenham College, starting a four-year course in traditional joinery at just 16 years old. Over the decades that followed, he built a reputation for high-end, precision-made wooden furniture and joinery, produced to the highest standards and passed on through word of mouth.

Sonny · Growing up around craft

The same care.
A new perspective.

Growing up around workshops, tools, and meticulous attention to detail, Sonny learned first-hand what quality really means, not mass production, but care, accuracy, and pride in the finished product. Alongside this, he trained and worked as an electrician, bringing a further appreciation for precision, planning, and doing things properly into the business.

Traditional principles, a new chapter

Today, Raised Panelling represents the next chapter.

We’ve taken the same traditional joinery principles of precision, consistency, and craftsmanship and applied them to modern MDF wall panelling, allowing us to offer beautiful, design-led panels at an accessible price point, without sacrificing quality.

Crafted experience.
Modern materials.

By using high-quality Hidrofugo MDF, we’re able to create panelling that’s stable, durable, and suited to real homes while maintaining the clean lines, sharp detailing, and flawless finishes you’d expect from a joinery-led brand.

The details matter

Every design is developed with a joiner’s eye.

  • Clean, accurate profiles
  • Consistent sizing and fit
  • Smooth, premium finishes
  • Materials chosen for longevity, not shortcuts

Made for the way you work

For DIY projects and professionals alike.

DIY-friendly

Designed for standard DIY tools and fewer cuts on site, with a Hook-On system that secures the panels to mounting tracks.

Trade-efficient

Faster installation times, repeatable results, and reduced labour costs.

Large projects

Ideal for developers and building companies who need high-quality panelling installed quickly and consistently.

The Hook-On approach

Cleaner, faster installation.

Traditional glued panelling often requires extensive cutting and trimming, permanent adhesive fixing and little margin for error.

Our hook-on system is designed to make installation and adjustment straightforward, with panels secured to mounting tracks rather than bonded across the wall.

We supply and recommend adhesive for the tongue joint between adjoining panels to help prevent movement over time. The panels themselves hook securely onto the mounting track.

Designed around real homes

A more durable,
practical solution.

  • Allows for natural movement within the building
  • Reduces the risk of panels lifting, warping, or failing over time
  • Creates a small gap behind the panels, helping manage moisture and reduce the risk of damp build-up
  • Provides space for routing cables and positioning sockets more easily
  • Makes future access, adjustment, or replacement simple
