Wallpapering

Wallpapering

Wallpapering done well transforms a room — but it requires precision, patience and the right technique to achieve a seamless finish. Our local decorators handle everything from straightforward lining paper through to delicate pattern-matched or hand-printed wallpapers.

Costs typically start at around £200 for a simple feature wall and rise to £600 or more for a full room with a complex or heavy paper. Getting 3 quotes helps you find a decorator whose experience matches the paper you've chosen.

What’s involved in Wallpapering?

• Stripping existing wallpaper and repairing the wall surface underneath if needed
• Sizing the walls to prevent paste soaking in too quickly and causing adhesion problems
• Hanging and carefully pattern-matching each length of paper
• Trimming neatly at skirting, ceiling and architraves, pressing seams flat and removing air bubbles

Large-pattern papers or rooms with chimney breasts and alcoves cost more. Prices vary by location, property size and surface condition. Always compare at least 3 quotes.
