Wallpapering

Straight drops, matched patterns, tight seams. Feature walls and full rooms done precisely.

The work

Wallpapering is a precision job. The wall has to be right before you start.

Walls that aren't plumb, surfaces with texture, unprimed new plaster — all create problems once the paper goes on. Seams that lift, drops that aren't quite vertical, pattern repeats that don't align at eye level. These aren't fixable after the fact.

We prepare the wall surface before hanging — lining paper where required, sizing or primer applied — and hang to a plumb line from the start, not from the corner. Pattern repeats are calculated before cutting so the wastage is managed and the match is where it matters.

Feature walls, chimney breast panels, full-room hanging, paste-the-wall systems, paste-the-paper — all covered. We hang standard and specialist papers including grasscloth and fabric-backed.

Do you prepare walls before hanging wallpaper?
Yes — we make good, line where needed and size the walls so the paper hangs flat, with neatly matched seams and patterns.
Can you hang feature walls and high-end papers?
We hang everything from feature walls to delicate, expensive and hand-printed papers, where careful matching and handling really matter.
Can you remove old wallpaper first?
We strip old paper, prepare the surface and repair any damage underneath before hanging the new covering.
Do you also paint as well as paper?
Yes — as plasterers, painters and decorators we can combine papering and painting in the same project for a coordinated finish.
