What does wallpapering involve?

Most experienced decorators offer a range of wallpapering services, including:

Wallpaper hanging

The core service – from standard wallpaper rolls to specialist materials. Installers measure, cut, and hang wallpaper with precision, making sure patterns align just right.

Wallpaper removal

Stripping wallpaper is a messy, time-consuming task. A decorator will remove old wallpaper safely, without damaging plaster (easier said than done!).

Wall preparation and finishing

Good prep makes all the difference when it comes to wallpapering. Filling holes, smoothing surfaces, applying lining paper, and priming walls is time consuming, but worth it for a smooth, quality finish.

Specialist wallpaper installation

Some wallpapers, such as vinyl, flock, silk, or textured designs, require extra care. Professionals know how to handle delicate or tricky materials without tearing or stretching.

All sounding like more work than you can take on yourself? Leave it an experienced wallpaper installer who knows what they’re doing.

What to ask wallpapering companies near me

Struggling to decide between a few different wallpaper hanging services?

Here's are a few questions to ask to help narrow down your hire:

1. Can you provide a detailed quote?

You’ll want to make sure you’re getting a detailed quote that outlines whether wall preparation and lining paper (if needed) are included.

That way, there are no costly extras later down the line.

2. Do you have reviews from previous customers?

Reviews from previous customers are one of the best ways to check that a tradesperson's work is up to scratch.

Did you know?… At Checkatrade, we check all online reviews to make sure they're from bona fide homeowners (like you) and that trades meet our high standards.

4. What company is best for wallpaper?

An experienced wallpaper installer won’t just hang your wallpaper – they’ll also know which brands and types work best for different spaces (and which ones to avoid!). So don’t be shy to ask for their advice.

Tip: Thick or heavy wallpaper should be avoided in high-humidity areas like bathrooms or utility rooms, where it may peel or slip. A vinyl or washable wallpaper stands up to moisture much better.

If in doubt, an experienced wallpaper installer will know what’s best for your space.

How much does it cost to pay someone to put up wallpaper?

The average cost to pay someone to put up wallpaper in a room (labour only) is around £450. But remember, you also need to factor in the cost of the wallpaper, too.
