Preparation and application
Wallpaper makes small surface defects more visible, not less. Walls are assessed for loose paper, unstable paint, cracks, proud filler, uneven suction and contamination before hanging begins.
Preparation may include stripping, washing, filling, sanding, sealing or lining, depending on the wall and the manufacturer's instructions. Pattern repeat, batch numbers and the usable quantity of paper are checked before the layout is committed.
The first drop and focal points are planned around the room so that pattern placement, corners and visible features read naturally. Accurate cutting around mouldings, sockets and architectural details is part of the finish.
Local knowledge
Planned for Edinburgh and the Lothians
Edinburgh's period rooms often combine tall walls, deep window reveals, fireplaces, cornices and walls that have been decorated many times. These features make setting out and preparation especially important. We assess the room and the paper together rather than assuming every wallcovering can be treated in the same way.

The exact specification changes from project to project, but the principles remain consistent.

Frequently asked questions
Professional Wallpaper Hanging FAQs
Do you hang wallpaper supplied by the customer?
Yes, provided the wallcovering is suitable and there is enough material from matching batches. We recommend checking quantities and batch numbers before the start date.
Can wallpaper be hung over painted walls?
Sometimes, but the wall must be stable, clean and appropriately prepared. Glossy, damaged or uneven surfaces may need additional preparation.
Do you remove old wallpaper?
Removal can be included in the agreed scope. The condition beneath old paper cannot always be known in advance, so any significant hidden repairs are discussed if uncovered.
Can you wallpaper a feature wall?
Yes. Feature walls are planned around the most visible focal point so the pattern is balanced and the edges are finished neatly.
