Wallpapering Services
Feature Walls
Homeowners selecting Cole & Son, Zoffany, or Farrow & Ball papers are investing in papers that reward a technically accomplished hang. The paper must be straight, precisely matched at every join, and cleanly cut against cornicing and skirtings.
Full-Room Wallpapering
A full-room hang in a Calverley Park villa is one of the most demanding briefs in the area. Original Regency rooms have shallow arched alcoves, deep window reveals, and walls that are not flat. We hang lining paper horizontally before the finish paper on any uneven surface.
Lining Paper
Lining paper provides a flat, stable base and prevents the finish paper from telegraphing wall unevenness. For period properties we recommend lining as standard. Cross-lining is included in the quote where needed.
Wallpaper Removal
On lime plaster walls we use appropriate scoring and soaking methods with extra care. For full interior painting projects that follow removal, we handle both in the same contract.
How Wallpapering Works
1. Surface Assessment
We examine the wall type, condition, and any existing wallpaper or coatings. We advise on lining and repairs.
2. Pattern Planning
For large-repeat or feature papers, we dry-hang the drops and plan the starting position before any paste is applied.
3. Surface Preparation
Existing wallpaper removed. Walls filled, sanded, and sized. Lining paper hung where recommended.
4. Hanging
Each drop cut, pasted, and hung to a true plumb vertical. Pattern matching checked at every join.
5. Inspection
Completed walls inspected for join visibility, bubbles, and pattern alignment. Final check once fully dry.

Wallpapering Costs in Tunbridge Wells
Professional wallpaper hanging typically runs between £180 and £320 per room for standard pattern hanging. Feature walls sit at £120–£220.
What Drives the Price
Pattern repeat, room scale and ceiling height, and whether lining is required all affect the cost. A large botanical repeat adds 30–50% to hanging time.
Typical Ranges
Feature wall: £120–£220. Full room hang with lining: £260–£420. Large Calverley Park reception room with premium paper: £500–£800+.
Premium Papers
De Gournay and other hand-printed papers are expensive materials. Lining is not an add-on on period plaster — it is part of doing the job correctly.
