Why Choose Professional Installation?
Paper hanging is one of the trickiest DIY jobs homeowners attempt. Here's what goes wrong:
Pattern matching mistakes
One miscalculation means visible misalignment across your entire room and wasted expensive materials that can't be reused.
Air bubbles and lifting seams
Without professional tools and techniques, bubbles appear within days and corners start peeling within weeks.
Period properties in Winckley Square require specialist techniques to work around original features like picture rails and dado rails.
Time waste
DIY attempts take 3-4 days of frustration. A professional completes most rooms in a single day.
The bottom line
Hiring a professional is often less expensive than redoing a botched DIY job. Plus your finish will last 10-15 years instead of peeling within months.
Our Wallpaper Installation Process
Here's exactly what happens when you hire Rose Decor:
1. Free Consultation & Measuring
We calculate the exact number of wallpaper rolls you need based on pattern repeat to prevent over-ordering or under-ordering.
2. Wall Assessment
We check for damp issues, cracks, or rough patches and identify any repairs needed.
3. Surface Preparation
We fill cracks, sand rough spots, and apply sizing. For problem walls, we hang lining paper first.
4. Professional Installation
We mark plumb lines, match patterns precisely across seams, apply the correct adhesive, smooth out air bubbles, and trim edges cleanly.
5. Final Inspection & Cleanup
We check every seam for perfect alignment, ensure corners are sealed properly, clean any adhesive residue, and remove all waste.
6. Care Instructions
We explain how to maintain your new wallpaper before we leave.

Common Wallpapering Questions
How long does wallpaper installation take?
A standard bedroom takes 4-6 hours. A medium living room takes 6-8 hours.
Hallways with stairs can take a full day. If we need to remove old paper first, add 2-4 hours per room.
How long before I can move furniture back?
Wait 24-48 hours before moving furniture back against the walls.
Some finishes need 3-4 days in poorly ventilated rooms. We'll advise you on the specific drying time when we finish.
Can I supply my own wallpaper?
Yes, we're happy to install wallpaper you've purchased yourself.
However, let us measure first to calculate quantities—running short mid-job is common when pattern repeats are miscalculated.
Order 1-2 extra rolls as patterns get discontinued quickly.
We can also source materials from trusted suppliers with our trade accounts, often at better prices than retail.
Do you recommend lining paper?
We recommend lining paper for walls with bumps, cracks, or texture, expensive designer wallpaper, old plaster, or light-colored finishes. It creates a smooth surface and makes your installation last longer.
Cost: £50-100 per room. We'll assess your walls during the free consultation and give you an honest recommendation.
