Wallpapering & Wall Coverings in London
We hang wallpaper across South and West London — feature walls, full rooms, panoramic murals — including heavy non-woven papers like Farrow & Ball that need proper wall preparation first. A single feature wall typically runs £300–£650 including materials guidance, most jobs completed in a day.

Wall preparation decides whether a wallpaper job lasts. Old lining paper that's bubbling, flaking emulsion, or bare plaster that's still curing all need dealing with before the first drop goes up — papering over a problem wall just means redoing it in six months.
Pattern matching on a repeat print is about where the eye actually lands, not just the tape measure — we set the first drop off-centre on a chimney breast or alcove where needed so the pattern reads as centred from the doorway.
How it goes
- Step 1
Photos & quote
Send photos of the wall and your chosen paper (or ask for guidance), get a price back.
- Step 2
Wall preparation
Strip old paper, size the wall, re-line if the paper needs it or the wall isn't sound.
- Step 3
Setting out
Plan drop positions and pattern match around chimney breasts, windows and corners.
- Step 4
Hanging
Paper hung to plumb lines, seams butted tight, pattern matched at every join.
- Step 5
Finishing
Trim at skirting and ceiling, check seams once fully dry, snag if anything's lifted.

Questions
- How much does it cost to wallpaper a feature wall in London?
- A single feature wall typically costs £300–£650 for labour including preparation, most completed within a day. Cost rises with a large pattern repeat, since more paper is wasted matching it.
- Do I need to prepare the wall before you hang wallpaper?
- No — we check and prepare the wall as part of the job, including stripping old paper and re-lining if needed. What we do need is for the wall to be fully dry if it's recently plastered, ideally 4+ weeks.
