Wallpaper Issues We Solve

What we recommend

Painters Inc. Ltd can supply wallpaper stripping and hanging services.  We find there are numerous properties with old  tired wallpaper that require stripping to update the look.  Some properties built during the 60s and 70s were quite often papered. This can mean that when the wallpaper is stripped a number of issues are revealed – the corners won’t be papertaped or plastered, the walls can be bowed, wallboard joins  may only be butt joined.  

It is quite a process making sure that walls are paint ready if you have stripped the wallpaper. It is also very important that the stripping is done well to make sure that only the wallpaper and its backing paper is removed and that the paper face of the wallboard isn’t damaged as this would require sealing and more extensive plaster repair. There are a number of options when dealing with old wallpaper:

  • Strip the wallpaper, replaster and paint
  • Strip the wallpaper, replaster and rehang wallpaper
  • Strip the wallpaper, reline with lining paper, paint
  • Paint over the wallpaper if it is in good sound condition - please note vinyl wallpaper needs to be sealed with a vinyl wallpaper sealer prior to overcoating with an acrylic paint.

FAQs

What’s the difference between application methods of wallpaper?

There are a number of methods of applying wallpaper which are determined by the manufacturer.  Our preference is for paste the wall wallpaper, this is also the most common type of wallpaper around.  This is more stable than other methods such as paste the paper and pre glued paper that goes through a water bath.

Can you do wallpaper murals?

Yes, we have experience in hanging wallpaper murals.

How do I estimate how much paper to buy?

The retailer should be able to tell you how much you need when you give them your measurements.  We can also estimate what you need.  It’s always better to have an extra roll from the same batch as there can be quite a bit of wastage.
