Wallpaper removal
Careful stripping of existing wallcoverings where included, followed by an assessment of the exposed surface.
Preparation, alignment and clean detail
Wallpapering and Feature Walls
Professional hanging for complete rooms or selected feature walls, planned around the paper, pattern and condition of the wall.
Wallpaper can be unforgiving of poor preparation. Walls are checked for stability and smoothness, old residue and defects are dealt with, and the hanging method is matched to the paper manufacturer’s instructions.

Wallpapering planned around the paper and wall
Wall preparation
Local repairs, sanding, sealing or lining paper where appropriate to the wall and selected covering.
Patterned papers
Planning starts, drops and joins to keep the repeat and key focal areas balanced.
Combined schemes
Coordinate wallpaper with painted ceilings, adjacent walls and woodwork for a complete room finish.
Preparation and process
Check the product before setting out the first drop
Review the paper
Confirm the product, batch information, repeat, hanging instructions and quantity available.
Prepare the wall
Remove loose material and old residue, complete agreed repairs and allow the substrate to dry.
Plan the layout
Set out focal points, corners and joins before the first drop is hung.
Hang and detail
Align the pattern, manage seams and finish cleanly around sockets, trim and openings.
Practical planning
Have the paper and instructions ready before work
Wallpaper should be on site before work starts so batch numbers, repeat, hanging method and quantities can be checked. Delicate or specialist wallcoverings may need product-specific handling and a separate assessment.
- Feature walls
- Complete rooms
- Lining paper before paint
- Coordinated paint and wallpaper schemes
The Decor Plast standard
Create a consistent background and deliberate layout
The finish depends on the wall beneath the paper and the way the pattern meets focal points, corners and openings. Both are reviewed before hanging begins.
Known wall condition
Old paper, paste residue, loose paint and local defects are addressed; stripping can reveal further work that was not visible at quotation.
Paper instructions
Paste-the-wall, paste-the-paper and specialist coverings are handled according to the product guidance and wall condition.
Pattern and detail check
Key joins, repeat, edges, sockets and trim are reviewed before the room is handed back for normal use.

Service questions
Useful answers about wallpapering
Have the product name or hanging instructions available: the paper type, wall and pattern all affect preparation and setting out.
See general decorating FAQsDo I need to remove the old wallpaper?
Removal can be included. The wall condition can only be fully assessed once the old covering and residue are off.
Who orders the wallpaper?
Either arrangement can be discussed, but enough material from the same batch should be available, with allowance for the repeat and potential waste.
Can wallpaper go over a damaged wall?
The substrate must be stable and suitably smooth. Significant defects may need repair or lining before the decorative paper is hung.
Can you hang patterned or designer wallpaper?
Yes, subject to the paper, manufacturer guidance and wall condition. Pattern repeat, matching and trimming requirements are reviewed before work begins.
Will my walls need lining paper first?
Lining may help create a more consistent base where appropriate, but it is recommended only after the wall and chosen finish paper have been assessed.
Is wallpaper suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
It can be in suitable locations, but ventilation, moisture exposure and the paper manufacturer’s guidance must be considered before specifying the covering.
