Stairways & Hallways

PREPARATION BEFORE WALLPAPERING
A good wallpaper finish depends heavily on the condition of the surface beneath it. Existing wallpaper is removed where required, defects are repaired and surfaces are prepared to provide a suitable base for the new wallcovering.
Floors, furniture and surrounding areas are carefully protected before work begins. Sanding is carried out with dust extraction where appropriate to help keep the working area cleaner.

Common Questions
Do I need to supply the wallpaper myself?
Most clients prefer to choose and supply their own wallpaper to ensure it matches their personal style, but we are happy to advise on quantities and material suitability.
How long does a typical room take to wallpaper?
A feature wall can sometimes be completed within a day. A complete room may take one or more days depending on the preparation required, room layout, wallpaper type and pattern complexity.
Can you wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
We always recommend stripping old paper first. This allows us to inspect and repair the wall surface, ensuring a much smoother and more durable final finish.
Do walls need to be perfectly smooth before wallpapering?
Walls need to be sound and reasonably smooth. We assess the surface first and advise on any filling, sanding or preparation required.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE PATTERN MATCHING?
We carefully measure and set out the wallpaper before hanging, allowing the pattern to flow consistently across the wall and around architectural details.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. A 25% deposit is required to secure your booking once the quotation is accepted. The remaining balance is due on completion unless otherwise agreed in writing.
