Common questions about wallpaper stripping & removal
How do you remove wallpaper that won't budge?
Stubborn wallpaper — often old vinyl with a paper backing that's been painted over — requires a combination of steam, scored surfaces and appropriate stripping solution. We have the equipment and experience to deal with even the most resistant layers.
Will stripping damage my walls?
In most cases, walls come through stripping in reasonable condition. Older walls with plaster applied directly to brick can sometimes be more fragile and may need repairs after stripping — we'll flag this risk on our initial visit and price repair work separately if needed.
Can I paint straight after wallpaper stripping?
Not immediately — walls typically need filling, sanding and priming (or sizing if bare plaster is exposed) before painting. We can carry out all of this preparation as part of the job so your walls are fully ready to decorate when we're done.
