Good to know

Wallpaper Removal in Kensington — FAQs.

How much does wallpaper removal cost?

It depends on the number of rooms, how many layers of old paper there are, and the condition of the plaster underneath. A few photos of each papered room, sent over WhatsApp, get you a free fixed quote with no obligation.

Will removing wallpaper damage my plaster?

Not with the right technique — we steam and soak the paper free rather than scraping, which is what usually causes the damage. Older, more fragile plaster gets extra care.

Can you paint or re-paper straight after stripping?

Yes, once the wall is washed down, dry and any marks are filled and sanded — we can move straight into painting or hanging new paper in the same visit.

How much should I budget for wallpaper removal in Kensington?

Every job is priced individually on size, surface condition and finish. Send a few photos of your Kensington property on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote — usually the same day, with no hidden extras.

Do you supply materials for Kensington jobs?

Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.

How soon can you start in Kensington?

Smaller Kensington jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
