Wallpaper Removal and Wall Preparation
Removing old wallpaper properly is an important first step before repainting or installing a new wall covering. Different papers, adhesives and underlying surfaces respond to different methods, so we assess the wall before choosing a careful approach. The aim is to remove the covering and residue efficiently while limiting avoidable damage to plaster or plasterboard.
What the service can include
Removal of standard wallpaper and selected wall coverings
Careful use of scoring, soaking or steam where appropriate
Cleaning of remaining paste and adhesive residue
Basic wall assessment and preparation for the next finish
Careful preparation and a lasting finish
A small area may be tested first to understand the layers beneath. Floors and nearby fittings are protected, wallpaper is stripped methodically, and residue is cleaned from the surface. Once dry, the wall can be checked for filling, sanding, sealing or lining requirements before painting or repapering.
