Wallpapering — Painter
Provide the wallpaper reference, wall dimensions and condition before booking. A patterned feature wall, a full room and a specialist covering can involve different quantities, preparation and seam-planning work even with similar floor areas.
Service scope
Wallpapering applies a specified wallcovering to prepared walls using the product’s hanging and adhesive requirements. Pattern matching, wall condition and paper construction determine the work; paper removal and substrate repair are separate scope decisions.
What is normally included
- Hanging specified wallcoverings
- Planning pattern and seam layout
- Preparing suitable walls within the agreed scope
What is not included
- Assuming every wallcovering uses the same adhesive method
- Covering unresolved damp or unstable plaster
Typical tasks
- Check wallcovering instructions and batch information
- Inspect and prepare the agreed wall surface
- Plan drops and pattern alignment
- Hang the covering with appropriate seams and trimming
- Review the finish against the agreed product and layout
What to include in your brief
- Wallpaper product and roll details
- Wall dimensions and openings
- Pattern repeat or matching information
- Existing paper and wall condition
- Corners, features and access constraints
Choosing the right professional
Ask about experience with the selected wallcovering and who checks roll quantities. Clarify removal, lining and repairs before hanging; a wallpaper price should not assume that an uneven or damp wall is ready to cover.
Important considerations
- Insufficient or mixed-batch material can affect the finished appearance
- Poor preparation can show through the new covering
