The honest answer

What wallpaper hanging
costs in London — and why.

Wallpaper labour in London is priced per wall or per room rather than per roll, because the work is in the preparation and the pattern matching, not the paper. A single feature wall typically costs £250–£450 + VAT for labour; a full bedroom £550–£950 + VAT.

The biggest cost drivers are the condition of the walls (old paper to strip, cracks to fill, lining paper needed), the paper itself (paste-the-wall vinyls are quick; hand-printed, grasscloth and wide murals are slow and unforgiving), the pattern repeat, and the awkwardness of the room — staircases and high halls need towers.

Common questions

Your questions
answered.

A feature wall costs £250–£450 + VAT for labour. A full bedroom or living room is typically £550–£1,400 + VAT depending on size, wall condition and the paper. Hallways and staircases cost more because they need tower access. Paper is extra — either supplied by you or sourced by us at trade prices.
It depends on the wall size, the roll width and length, and the pattern repeat — a large repeat can waste 20–30% of each roll. Send us the paper details and room measurements and we'll calculate it for you, always allowing one spare roll from the same batch.
On most London walls, yes. Lining paper evens out old plaster, hides filled cracks and gives a stable surface so the top paper doesn't shrink at the seams. New, perfectly flat plaster can sometimes be sized and papered directly. We'll advise at the site visit.
Yes — this is where a professional matters most. Hand-printed, grasscloth, silk and flock papers are unforgiving of paste on the face, poor matching or stretching. We check every roll for batch and shading, hang from the centre out and keep the paper protected throughout.
Yes. Stripping is priced per square metre and depends on what's underneath — vinyl peels, woodchip and painted paper need steaming. We strip, wash off residue, fill and sand before anything goes back on. If the plaster underneath is poor we'll tell you before we start.
Yes — a papered feature wall photographs well and makes a listing stand out. For rentals we recommend a durable, wipeable vinyl or paste-the-wall paper and we'll work to your check-out and check-in dates.
Yes, and it's the most efficient approach. We paint ceilings and woodwork first, hang the paper, then cut in the remaining walls so everything is finished together under one quote.
We can source most brands at trade prices — Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Cole & Son, Sanderson, Morris & Co and others — or you can buy your own. Either way the paper is shown as a separate line so you can see exactly what the labour costs.
