Wallpaper Installers in Hampstead

Feature walls behind beds, sofas, or fireplaces are the most common request. We hang from a plumb line, match the pattern centrally, and finish seams cleanly.

Surface preparation matters as much as hanging. Filling, sanding, and priming are done before the paper goes up. For painted feature walls as an alternative, see our feature wall painting page.

A fully papered room requires consistent pattern matching, level drops, and tight seam alignment. We work methodically from first drop to last, maintaining accuracy.

Period flats often have high ceilings and original cornicing. Interior painting and wallpapering can be combined in the same project.

Lining paper is hung horizontally before finish paper or paint. It bridges minor irregularities and provides a consistent base for even adhesion.

On Victorian plaster walls with minor cracks, lining paper is often the most cost-effective solution. It avoids replastering and gives a smooth base.

Original cornicing creates a precise line where wall meets ceiling. Getting the wallpaper to sit cleanly requires careful trimming and steady cutting.

Curved plaster walls in bay windows and staircase bays are not plumb. We establish a plumb line independently and work from that, rather than following the wall.

Stripping old wallpaper from lime plaster walls differs from stripping plasterboard. Lime plaster absorbs water and must not be over-soaked. We work carefully to avoid surface damage.

After stripping, we assess the wall condition. Filling, sanding, and lining paper may be needed before new paper or paint.
