Your local wallpaper hanging team in Fitzrovia
We hang wallpaper across Fitzrovia (W1T), in everything from Georgian terraces, mansion flats and apartments set above ground-floor offices, design studios and showrooms. Every job runs the same way. Single feature wall or a whole room papered top to bottom, you get careful wall preparation, true pattern matching and a fixed price agreed before the first drop goes up.
Fitzrovia is a busy media and design district where homes, agencies and studios share the same period buildings. The local housing stock, Georgian terraces, mansion flats and apartments set above ground-floor offices, design studios and showrooms, typically has tall georgian sash windows, deep skirting and cornices, lath-and-plaster walls and converted upper-floor flats with high foot traffic below. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near BT Tower.
What wallpaper hanging in Fitzrovia usually involves
Wallpaper Hanging in Fitzrovia covers feature walls and full rooms, paste-the-wall and traditional papers and lining paper and bare-plaster bases, matched to the georgian terraces found across W1T and the way these homes are built.
The jobs we are asked for most here, like mansion flat and apartment repaints and studio and office redecoration, all start with proper prep and a fixed written price, so a georgian terraces gets a finish that lasts rather than a quick once-over.
Wallpaper Hanging for period and Victorian homes in Fitzrovia
The plaster in Camden's older terraces is rarely flat. Walls bow. Lath-and-plaster sounds hollow in patches, and old skim has often been papered over more than once, so we strip back to a sound surface, fill, and cross-line where the wall demands it before the finish paper goes anywhere near it. Hung over a stable base, the pattern sits straight and the seams stay closed.
Why Fitzrovia homeowners choose us for wallpaper hanging
Homeowners across Fitzrovia choose us because the price is fixed in writing before we start. We use trade-grade paint suited to georgian terraces, mansion flats and apartments set above ground-floor offices, design studios and showrooms, work tidily room by room (typically 1 day per feature wall), protect your floors and furniture, and clear our waste away before we sign the job off with you.
How we do wallpaper hanging in Fitzrovia
-
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, then put one fixed price in writing with nothing added later.
-
Strip and make good
Old paper comes off. Steamed, or soaked where it needs it. Loose plaster is cut back, cracks are filled, then 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. Lining paper goes on horizontally, underneath 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. From there we work outward matching the repeat drop by drop, and whether it is 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 the offcuts and packaging go with us when we leave. Then we walk the room with you in good light. Only then do we sign it off.

Wallpaper Hanging in Fitzrovia, common questions
Can you hang wallpaper over uneven old plaster?
Yes. Bowed and patchy plaster is normal in Camden's period homes, so we fill and sand what we can and then cross-line the wall with lining paper underneath so the finish paper sits flat over the top. 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. That way they get exactly the colour and pattern they want, and 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, and that stripping is included in the quote rather than added on afterwards. The price you are given covers the full job.
How much does wallpaper hanging cost in Camden?
Wallpapering is quoted as a fixed price after we measure up, 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, since large repeats waste more paper and take longer to match. You get the price before any work starts.
How much does wallpaper hanging cost in Fitzrovia?
One fixed price agreed in writing after a free visit. In W1T the lath-and-plaster walls in these Georgian upper-floor flats often need stripping and cross-lining before a finish paper will sit flat, and tall rooms take longer drops. The pattern repeat then sets the roll count.
How long does papering a Fitzrovia studio or flat take?
Allow a day per feature wall. A studio or office wall off Charlotte Street with sound plaster can be done in that window, but a Georgian flat with bowed lath-and-plaster walls usually needs a stripping and lining stage first. We give you the timeline with the quote.
Can you work in a Fitzrovia flat above a busy office or showroom?
Yes. Plenty of W1T homes sit above ground-floor studios and showrooms with heavy foot traffic below, so we keep the pasting table and rolls out of the shared entrance and work to a booked date. Offcuts and packaging go with us, and we walk the room with you in good light before signing off.
