Wallpaper Hanging in Camden
Feature walls, lining paper and full rooms hung true. Patient pattern matching, clean seams, no bubbles.
What our wallpaper hanging covers in Camden
We hang wallpaper across homes and rental properties throughout Camden and North London, from a single statement wall behind a bed to a whole reception room papered floor to ceiling. Feature walls, full rooms, lining paper, paste-the-wall and traditional pastes — we have hung them all in the kind of bowed, much-decorated walls that come with a Victorian terrace.
The difference between a wall that looks crisp for years and one that bubbles and lifts within months is almost always the preparation underneath. We strip old paper back properly, fill and size the plaster, and cross-line where the surface is uneven before the finish paper ever comes out of the roll. On a busy pattern that means plumbing the first drop dead straight and matching the repeat patiently across the wall, rather than rushing and chasing a misaligned seam into the corner.
A papered feature wall pairs naturally with fresh paintwork elsewhere in the room, so we often hang wallpaper as part of a wider interior painting job. If you are repapering an awkward kitchen feature, we can coordinate it alongside kitchen cabinet painting too. We work across Hampstead, Primrose Hill, Kentish Town and Camden Town, and most jobs are booked within a week of your quote.
Feature walls and full rooms
Whether you want one statement wall or every wall in a reception room papered, we cover the full range. The same careful pattern matching and seam work applies to a one-wall accent or a room hung top to bottom.
Paste-the-wall and traditional papers
We hang paste-the-wall and traditional paste-the-paper finishes alike, and have worked with both across the homes and rentals we paper. Whichever your chosen paper calls for, we book it properly so it beds down flat rather than bubbling or lifting at the edges.
Lining paper and bare-plaster bases
Where the plaster is bowed or has been papered over more than once, lining paper bridges the bumps and gives the finish paper a smooth, stable base to sit on. That same lining work leaves an awkward wall flat enough for emulsion at the next changeover.
Large pattern repeats
Busy papers with a large repeat are part of the work, not an extra. Big repeats waste more paper and take longer to match, so we measure the rolls against the repeat before we start and set the fixed price around it, with no surprises later.
Why Camden landlords book our wallpaper hanging
A hung feature wall lifts a tired letting without the cost or downtime of a full redecoration. We work to a booked date, leave clean butt seams that will not lift at the edges, and can line awkward walls so emulsion goes on flat for the next tenant changeover.

How our wallpaper hanging works in Camden
Every wallpaper hanging job in Camden follows the same clear process. We start with a free site visit and a fixed written price — never a day rate — then work to a typical timeline of 1 day per feature wall, keeping you updated at each stage and clearing up before we hand back.
-
Free site visit and fixed quote
We come and look at the wall, check the plaster, measure the drops and count the rolls against the pattern repeat. You get one fixed price in writing, with no day rates and nothing added later.
-
Strip and make good
Old paper is steamed or soaked off, loose plaster is cut back, cracks are filled and the wall is sanded and sized so paste grips evenly rather than soaking straight into bare plaster.
-
Line where the wall needs it
On uneven Victorian plaster we cross-line first — hanging lining paper horizontally under the finish paper — so bumps are bridged and the top paper has a smooth, consistent surface to sit on.
-
Hang and match the pattern
We plumb the first drop, then work outward matching the repeat drop by drop. Paste-the-wall or traditional paste-the-paper, we book the paper properly, brush out the air and trim clean lines top and bottom.
-
Roll the seams and tidy up
Every seam is rolled flat, paste is wiped from the surface before it dries, and we take the offcuts and packaging away. We walk the room with you in good light before we sign it off.
Common questions about Wallpaper Hanging in Camden
Can you hang wallpaper over uneven old plaster?
Yes. Bowed and patchy plaster is normal in Camden's period homes. We fill and sand what we can and cross-line the wall with lining paper underneath so the finish paper sits flat. On badly cracked walls we will tell you honestly if a re-skim is the better route first.
Do you supply the wallpaper or do I?
Most clients choose and buy their own paper so they get exactly the colour and pattern they want. We are happy to advise on how many rolls you need for the pattern repeat, where to source it, and whether paste-the-wall or a traditional paper suits the job.
Can you strip existing wallpaper as well?
Yes. We strip old paper, clear the residue, make good the wall and prepare the surface before anything new goes up. Stripping is included in the quote so the price you are given covers the full job, not just the hanging.
How much does wallpaper hanging cost in Camden?
Wallpapering is quoted as a fixed price after we measure up, never a day rate, and the quote includes stripping, preparation and hanging. The final price depends on the wall's condition, whether cross-lining is needed and the pattern repeat — large repeats waste more paper and take longer to match. We give you the price before any work starts.
