How pricing works in Islington.
No price lists that pad the worst case — your Islington project gets its own honest, fixed, written quote. These are the factors that set it:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Sheen, durability, washability — the right finish depends on the room. Here's the quick guide we use when speccing your Islington project.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Islington project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

See prices guideWallpapering in Islington — FAQs.
How much does wallpaper hanging cost per room?
It depends on wall sizes, the paper's pattern repeat and how much wall prep is needed. Send us photos and the paper you have in mind on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote.
Do I need lining paper?
On older or imperfect walls, usually yes — it hides small defects and gives the top paper a perfect surface. We'll tell you honestly after seeing your walls.
Can you remove old wallpaper and paint instead?
Yes — stripping, wall repair and repainting is one of our most common jobs. We strip properly, skim or fill as needed, and leave you paint-ready walls or a full painted finish.
How much should I budget for wallpaper hanging in Islington?
Every job is priced individually on size, surface condition and finish. Send a few photos of your Islington property on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote — usually the same day, with no hidden extras.
