I would say that I am an intermediate DIYer,and I have watched so many videos on paneling my stairs. Yours is the first that is explained in a clear and logical way. This video made it so easy to follow and duplicate. Thank you so much for all your help!
I know you guys will probably miss this notification, but.. you're the best. This is the first CZcams tutorial I've ever followed due to the fact you explain it so well and basic to people like me with no carpentry experience. I never had a farther figure to learn stuff like this off so thank you so much, guys. Your videos are helping people like me prosper.
I have been looking for months how to do this im rubbish at maths ect and could never find a video to help me, I love how you show every last detail absolutely class I love it and you repeat taking the time to show it all, ❤️
To help visualise it a tip from junior school arithmetic lessons (in the 60's, I'm now happily retired ;) , we were taught to visualise it as 'Lamppost's and Spaces' 4 lamppost's 3 spaces and so on, I've used it all my life as an electrician to get even space spaces on cable tray, ladder rack trunking and conduit
I wish I'd have found you guys years ago. I just put up picture moulding and chair rail up my stairs using another one of your videos (the one that shows the math) and I cannot tell you how much it helped me. I'm a forever fan now, you guys are wonderful.
Wish I would’ve found you guys before I made my wall look like the chalkboard of a crazed mathematician…. Lol My sanity has been restored! Beauty AND Brains! 😉 You guys are definitely the whole package! THANK YOU, all the way from Texas!
I tried to do this a couple of weeks ago at my daughters house. Hit a problem and I've been scratching my head ever since. Finally got to looking on you tube and now armed with a head full of cockney knowledge I'm gonna go and finish it today. Cheers lads 👍
@@homeimprovements update. Absolutely looks the dogs mate. Daughter loves it. Wish I could show you a pic. I'm knackered now. Time for a beer 🍺👍. Cheers lads
Best video I've seen on this, well done both! Couple of questions, is there an alternative to a nail gun, is it possible to hammer in pins or will this risk damaging the MDF? Also, if there is more than one length needed for going up the stairs, is it ok to butt together and plane each edge, or best to mitre? Thanks!
I loved this video and it even convinced my husband that we CAN panel our hallway/stairs. I was feeling super confident...until it dawned on me that we have a winder staircase and will need some extra help re angles/spacing. Please send help soon lads 🙏
Excellent video mate. Two questions for you if you have time to respond. 1) Why the first vertical board has some distance from the corner (also many cm should that distance be?) but the vertical board upstairs is right up to the corner? 2) Can I screw the boards to the wall instead of using a nail gun? Many thanks in advance
Cheers lads. Going to attempt mine next week after getting quotes of 600 odd quid. You guys have given me confidence to have a crack myself so thank you 😊
Fingers crossed you see this!! I’m struggling getting started on my stairs panelling - I don’t think it’s possible to join the stairs to the hallway. HEEEELLLLPPP MEEE
With the top rail, did you have to join two pieces together? If so, did you just butt join them or did you mitre join them? If you didn't, but would have to, what would you do?
Hi guys. Love your work! I have a question for you, was this being Brad nailed into a solid brick/plastered wall? I’m a bit worried that the nails won’t go all the way through on our old 80’s house?
Hi Lads, thanks for the video it's a great help. Can I ask, most of the panelling strips come in a 2.4m length . Stairs would need a longer length. Do you bevel the edge if you butt too lengths together or mitre the joints?
so quick question, i see all these panelling vids on these narrow staircases but never the final product. Where does the hand rail go? Surely if you placed it above those panels it would sit too high?
Wanted to do this on our stairs and hallway for some time now but never had the confidence. After watching your video we have decided to give it a go. I have a Question though which is throwing me a little, you took the 1000mm measurement from the bottom first from the top of the skirting board, at the top of the stairs you took the 1000mm measurement from the top of the stringer (do i have that right?) Many thank's
What filler should you use to fill inbetween panels? Should you fill the pin holes also? Then caulk the wood ins and outs before painting? Just about to do this in my new house and scared!
Great video lads. Just one question. How do you work the equal spaces when you have the incline up the stairs and then a straight section at the top and bottom of the stairs?
@@homeimprovements I know to get equal measurements from the bottom to the top of the stairs you have to take into account the slope when calculating the width of the actual uprights, so say 10cm becomes 12 etc. So you can just do the calculation to get equal length panels. But what about the straight sections at the top of the stairs (landing) and bottom of stairs hallway, how do you add them into the calculation, so they all end up equal and you end up with an upright at the very end of the landing. Sorry hard to explain, could explain in 2 secs chatting but writing it is a different ball game 😂 thanks anyway👍
Great video I have a staircase which is not great. Skirting board at the bottoms and the top. How do I make the bottom panel the same height. Meaning when I reach the top stair, the skirting is going to make the bottom panel higher! Advice on how to match up please.
Sweet! Wanting to start mine now. Only issue I've got is the stringer isn't even depth all the way up - think the wall was plastered by a drunk bloke.... How can I overcome that? Do I need different thicknesses of wood for the panelling? Also, no pin gun.... Is a hammer and pins like you'd use for skirting and architrave okay?
When your marking out stairs what happens when skirting is higher than your stringer trying to mark out to do dado rail and panelling so obviously I'd I was to mark rest off hall it would be higher if going from top off skirting so do I need to take a measurement away .please explain .
You guys make it look so easy. How long did you have to train to be a carpenter/painter/carpet fitter? Do you have your own business? You really need to get yourselves on TV.
I was going to give up on the idea of panelling until I watched this amazingly simple video, so thank you so much guys. I have a question. I'm keeping the original dado rail and skirting, so will be using 6mm mdf for panels. However when you get to bottom of stairs, where it straightens out, the ledge on the skirting board is much wider than the ledge going up the stairs. Old Victorian house and nothing is straight. What should I do with panels when I get to the bottom of stairs?
@@homeimprovements One of my panels will be placed horizontal.... above the skirting board. However at the bottom of the stairs, my skirting board has pulled away from the wall, creating a sort of ledge. Was just wondering how I would deal with this issue. Hope this makes sense....😅. If not, don't worry and thanks for replying.
Similiar thing I have a problem with. Skirting at the bottom this is fine. First bottom panel runs up the stairs. Now a small landinding with a skirting, hence the bottom panel will be higher and will not match or butt up help!
Great video guys, super helpful with tips & tricks. Regarding the spacing, is it the same calculation if you have a longer hallway to continue the panels (rather than ending quite close to the bottom of the staircase like in the video)
I've hit a massive problem with paneling it's huge to me because of the layout of my landing I don't know what's best to do for it. Please someone help me. =(
What you bezel the edge with the small plane, you mention filling it, what would you recomend its filled with, decorating chark or wood filler. iv found decorating chalk shrinks back everty few years when i used on on skirting boards, or will the paint stop this happening
What did you do at the bottom after the riser terminates at the skirting board? Did you remove the skirting board and put a full panel that comes up 100mm after the skirting is put back on top? Hope that makes sense. I have Ogee skirting and the top is thinner than the panel so I can't start the panel on top of the skirting.
I can’t find 9mm or even 1/4 inch Mdf anywhere. Lowes and Home Depot don’t carry it. I don’t wanna go 1/2 inch because it will most likely be thicker than my baseboard. Any advise?
Great video! I have a quick question so my top stringer is still at an angle and not in line with my top skirting board so not sure the measurement will be the same between my top and bottom stringer. Any advice? Hope this makes sense! Thanks
Links in the description for the tools required
Do you have a video covering, wainscoting a staircase ( decorative mouldings) 👍
@@pww9962 will be doing one very soon 😁😁👍🏼👍🏼
Any recommends on good filler your using or any? And what grit sandpaper you using would you say? @homeimprovements
What would you do with a pronounced slope on a stringer where the stairs turn 90°?
What chalk line do you use please ? The link is broken

I use a protractor after marking out to find the acute/obtuse angles.
Explained perfectly this video has been the best thank you
The best video online to show you how to do this, clear simple tricks that make the job easy even for a novice like my misses. Great job ladd
Wow, thanks!
Can you do a video for panelling in a bedroom please?

A masterclass in geometry.

Just a superb video and I’ll definitely attempt the job with some confidence now.

Meaning when I reach the top stair, the skirting is going to make the bottom panel higher!
Advice on how to match up please.
If you chalk line the stairs then the bottom and top until the line intersect you can keep the same height on both 😊
Great video, what product would you recommend for filling in the gaps you created with the mini plane ?
Hello Phil, Dave 😂
I’m dry walking afterwards I’m doing this.
Great video guys! So clear & easy to follow and you've added links to the items you used (just found that lol) Can't wait to get started, thanks x

Also, no pin gun.... Is a hammer and pins like you'd use for skirting and architrave okay?
Depends on what you want to do there’s a few options and yes adhesive and pins will work 😁👍🏼
Thanks for the video. What would you use if you were fixing it to a block wall instead of a stud wall?
These are brick walls 😊💪🏼
Best video yet! the missus is getting ideas now... Cheers guys
🤣🤣 your welcome Sam 😉
What tools are needed? Chaulk line, handsaw, pencil,level
thanks Brad & Dave (aka phil) made it sound really easy!
Dave thanks you for you comment 🤣🤣😁
Great video. Can you update the links for tools please some are broken. Thanks
Shay checking in from dublin Ireland thank you ❤❤❤❤
Hi. Does it matter if the skirting isn't level with the stringers at the bottom of the stairs? Thanks for the vid 🤘
No if you chalk it out as we did you’ll just ignore that 😊
Really handy lads,great advice 👌 👍
Thanks 👍
Cheers lads. Really good video & nice simple instructions
Thanks 😊💪🏼
Brilliant guys, well done. Cheers
Excellent tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work guys thank you.
Thanks for watching! 😊
So you divide the total thickness of the styles on the top and bottom whatever that measurement is you divided by the number of spacing that you want
When your marking out stairs what happens when skirting is higher than your stringer trying to mark out to do dado rail and panelling so obviously I'd I was to mark rest off hall it would be higher if going from top off skirting so do I need to take a measurement away .please explain .
How do i continue it from my stairs to hallway as the skirts are a lower level to the stringer so wont it look odd if i was to continue it?
You guys make it look so easy. How long did you have to train to be a carpenter/painter/carpet fitter? Do you have your own business? You really need to get yourselves on TV.
Thanks 😊😊 been doing trade works out whole life’s 😊
Great video lads....how do you deal with a curve at the bottom of a staircase wall? And where can I get that paneling from??
This is just 9mm mdf we had cut into 100mm strips 😊
Great work lads. Was the wall lined with lining paper and then you glued the panelling directly on top
How would you do the first panel if theres a radiator pipe and window sill in the way x

Once primed if using unprimed normally emulsion for us 😊

Thanks mate and it’s all down to personal preference that’s why it’s always best to chalk it out 😁
Brilliant job 👏
Thanks 😁
Thank you - great instruction!
Thanks 😁😁😁
What do you do if the stringer is curved with a winding staircase - do you just leave the bottom bit out and run them to the stringer? Thanks
Great question bro if you watch our how to install a dado rail it explains all 🙌🙌✌️
Excellent thanks chaps great little learner video
Thanks mate appreciate it 🔥🤙🏽

Welcome 🤗 anytime
What did you do at the bottom after the riser terminates at the skirting board? Did you remove the skirting board and put a full panel that comes up 100mm after the skirting is put back on top? Hope that makes sense. I have Ogee skirting and the top is thinner than the panel so I can't start the panel on top of the skirting.
This finished at the stairs but yes you can remove skirts install panel 100 taller than skirting then reinstall skirting 😊
How would you shape the cut for a stringer that has a curve at the top of the stairs
You can Kurf the trim but will need a lot of filling and sanding 🤔 personally smaller curves I run straight 😊
I want to panel my hallway, landing, and stairs. Where would you start first?
Doesn’t matter imo every wall is a section on its own 😊
amazing explanation lads! thanks for the simple instructions :)
Our pleasure!
Excellent video lads 👍
Thanks mate appreciate the comment 🙌
Great vid, kind of got distracted by you both though 😍😍🤭
😂😂🤗🤙🏼
Nice vid lads. Nicely broken down DAVE😂
🤣👌🏼👌🏼
great video a question at the begging of the video have you added some pine timber to the side of the stairs to give extra room for the 9mm mdf
We sure did good spot also because it was in bad shape 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Amazing. I’m so glad I found your video. Hope this isn’t a dumb q but what could you use instead of a chalk line or how do I make one? 😂
Thanks 😁 best bet is to buy one very cheap these days 😊
@@homeimprovements thanks so much. I never knew this existed 😅
Great stuff
Nicely done the presentation strategy is just what I needed
Thank you for your comment, please let us know if you have any requests for videos 😊
Is the top and bottom same measurements?
Too much music otherwise the demonstration is excellent.😊
Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
What is the spec of your MDF?
9mm mdf cut into 100mm strips
I can’t find 9mm or even 1/4 inch Mdf anywhere. Lowes and Home Depot don’t carry it. I don’t wanna go 1/2 inch because it will most likely be thicker than my baseboard. Any advise?
Not sure sorry as we are uk 😞😞 ply could work if that’s available over there 🤔
