About this service
What this service involves
Removing old wallpaper is the messy, patience-testing part of any redecoration — and the one most likely to reveal damaged plaster underneath. A decorator strips the paper efficiently, cleans off the residue, and makes good the wall so it's ready to paint or re-paper. Tell us what needs stripping and we'll help connect you with a local professional.

Why use a professional
The benefit of getting it done properly
Practical reasons a professional finish is worth it for this kind of work.
Clean removal
Paper, backing and paste stripped away rather than painted over or patched up.
Damaged plaster found early
Issues show up once the paper's off, so they can be repaired before finishing.
Ready for the next finish
Walls cleaned and smoothed so they take paint or new paper evenly.
Less mess for you
Dust sheeting and tidy removal mean you're not clearing up afterwards.
