Wallpaper Installers in Wokingham by Wokingham Painters, professional service

Wokingham Painters provide wallpapering services covering Wokingham and the surrounding Berkshire villages. We hang wallpaper on everything from period hallways to modern open-plan spaces.

  • Feature walls with bold or patterned papers
  • Full room wallpapering with pattern matching
  • Lining paper preparation and sizing
  • Period properties and cornicing detail

Sonning period properties have formal hallways and reception rooms where wallpapering is used to restore period character. Original lime plaster walls need lining paper and size coat preparation before any heavyweight wallpaper will hang without bubbling or lifting at the seams.

Wallpapering Services

Feature Walls

A single feature wall with bold colour or pattern transforms a room. We hang feature wallpaper precisely to frame the room and balance adjacent painted walls.

Feature walls work best where the pattern is contained within natural room proportions (one wall of a bedroom, an alcove in a living room, a chimney breast). We advise on pattern scale and placement at quotation.

Full Room Wallpapering

Hanging wallpaper across all four walls requires meticulous pattern matching and seam alignment. We start from the most visible corner and work methodically to ensure patterns align at corners and meet cleanly at ceiling and skirting.

Modern open-plan spaces pose unique challenges due to large continuous wall areas. Geometric patterns need more care than florals or small repeats. See our feature wall painting page for colour alternatives.

Lining Paper Preparation

Lining paper is essential preparation on uneven or damaged walls, particularly in period properties with original lime plaster. Lining paper creates a smooth, uniform surface that takes finish wallpaper better and allows easier removal later.

We assess wall condition at quotation and advise whether lining is necessary. On lime plaster walls in Sonning and Twyford, lining is typically essential.

Period Properties and Cornicing

Period hallways with cornicing, picture rails, and dado rails are classic wallpapering territory. Hanging paper around cornicing requires careful cutting and placement.

We assess cornicing extent at quotation and plan the approach accordingly. Picture rails are often left exposed rather than covered, which affects pattern layout.

Wallpaper Removal

Removing old wallpaper before hanging new paper is often necessary, particularly if existing paper is peeling or multiple layers have accumulated. Poor removal leads to bubbling and lifting of the new paper.

We assess existing paper at quotation and advise on removal complexity. Steam or scoring techniques are used as appropriate. See our interior painting page if wall painting is the preferred option instead.

Here’s How It Works

1. Site visit and pattern consultation

We visit, assess wall condition, discuss pattern preferences, and provide samples. We note any cornicing, picture rails, or pattern-matching challenges. Wall prep requirements are identified.

2. Wall preparation

Existing wallpaper is removed if necessary. Walls are washed, cracks are repaired, and loose areas are stabilised. Lining paper is hung where needed.

3. Sizing and priming

A size coat is applied to the prepared wall. This creates a consistent surface for the wallpaper adhesive and allows adjustment time during hanging.

4. Wallpaper hanging

Wallpaper is cut, pasted, and hung methodically, starting from the most visible corner. Patterns are matched carefully at each seam. Excess is trimmed at ceiling, skirting, and corners.

5. Final inspection and drying

Seams are inspected for alignment and bubbles are worked out. Drying time is observed before the room is returned to normal use.

Cost Overview

Wallpapering typically costs between £40 and £80 per square metre depending on paper quality, pattern complexity, and wall preparation required.

Cost Overview

Three things drive the price:

What Affects the Price

  • Pattern complexity and repeat length. Large geometric patterns require more cutting and waste. Small repeats are more forgiving. Patterns that require careful matching cost more than random or small-scale repeats.
  • Wall condition and prep requirements. Smooth, well-prepared walls are faster than uneven lime plaster walls requiring lining paper. Existing wallpaper removal adds cost.
  • Paper quality and specification. Budget papers cost less per roll. Specialty papers (non-woven, grasscloth, textured finishes) cost more and may require different adhesives or techniques.

Trade Insight

Trade insight. Sonning and Twyford period properties often have walls with substantial irregularities that require lining paper. Budget lining paper prep time into the total.
