Wallpaper hanging and wall painting

I hang wallpaper and paint walls, and I treat the preparation as the most important part of the job — because that is what you actually see afterwards. Fresh paint and new wallpaper only look good on a surface that has been properly readied: old coatings removed, cracks filled, the wall primed and sanded flat. I never paper or paint over problems in the hope they will hide, since bumps, seams and stains always come back through. If the surface needs serious levelling I will tell you honestly before we agree on anything.

For wallpaper I match the pattern carefully, keep the seams tight and invisible, and work the corners and the areas around sockets and switches so there are no gaps or overlaps. For painting I cut in clean edges by hand, roll the field in even passes and apply as many coats as the colour needs to sit uniformly, with no patches or roller marks in raking light. I protect floors, furniture and trim, keep the room tidy as I go and clean up fully when I finish.

A typical room takes a few days depending on its size and condition, and I confirm the timeline and price after I have seen the walls. I bring my own tools, work carefully in occupied homes and offices, and stand behind the result. Tell me the room and what you want, and I will advise on materials and the best approach.
