Common questions about wallpaper removal
What if the plaster is damaged after the wallpaper is removed?
This is common, especially in older properties. We can repair minor plaster damage, fill and sand the surface as part of the job. For more significant damage, we'd discuss the options — which might include a skim coat or lining paper over the repaired area.
Can you remove woodchip wallpaper?
Yes, woodchip can be removed, though it's often one of the most labour-intensive stripping jobs. It was frequently applied directly to bare plaster, which means care is needed to avoid damaging the surface beneath. We'll assess it and give you an honest quote.
Do I need to do anything to the walls before you can paint after stripping?
After stripping, walls usually need filling, sanding and a coat of stabilising primer or size before painting. We include all necessary preparation in our wall preparation service — the walls will be fully ready for your chosen decoration when we're done.
