Wallpapering London

Wallpapering by K Wyatt Decorators

We're K Wyatt Decorators, and there's something special about watching a room come alive with the right wallpaper. Yesterday, we finished hanging a bold botanical print in a Victorian terrace in Chiswick - the homeowner had been staring at plain magnolia walls for years, but was terrified of tackling the job herself. When we peeled back that final strip of backing paper and she saw the transformation, her face absolutely lit up. That's the magic of professional wallpaper hanging.

Wallpaper isn't just about covering walls - it's about creating atmosphere, adding personality, and bringing your vision to life. Whether you've fallen in love with a statement paper from Cole & Son, want to recreate a period look with traditional patterns, or need something practical for a busy family bathroom, the difference between a good job and a disaster often comes down to experience and patience.

Here's the thing about wallpaper hanging - it looks deceptively simple until you try it. Pattern matching, dealing with corners, working around light switches, handling delicate papers that tear if you look at them wrong - these are skills that come from years of practice. As a family business, we've been perfecting these techniques across London's wonderfully varied properties for over two decades.

From the quirky angles of converted Victorian houses to the clean lines of modern flats, every wallpaper job tells a story. We've hung everything from budget-friendly papers to £200-per-roll designer pieces, and we treat each project with the same care and attention to detail.

Our Wallpapering Services

Complete Wallpaper Installation We handle every aspect of wallpaper hanging from start to finish. This includes careful surface preparation - stripping old wallpaper, filling holes, sanding rough patches, and applying the right primers to ensure perfect adhesion. We work with all types of wallpaper, from budget-friendly options to luxury designer papers that require special handling. Our methodical approach ensures every seam is invisible, every pattern matches perfectly, and every corner is crisp and professional.

Pattern Matching and Feature Walls One of the most challenging aspects of wallpaper hanging is achieving perfect pattern alignment, especially with large repeats or complex designs. We've mastered the art of pattern matching, ensuring seamless flow across entire walls and around obstacles like radiators and switches. Feature walls require particular expertise - knowing how to position patterns for maximum impact and ensuring clean transitions where wallpaper meets painted surfaces.

Specialist Paper Handling Different wallpaper types require different techniques. Delicate hand-printed papers need gentle handling, while heavy textured papers require specific adhesives and longer soaking times. We're experienced with grasscloth, silk, vinyl, traditional woodchip, and modern non-woven papers. Each type has its quirks, and we've learned through experience how to handle them all without tears, bubbles, or lifting edges.

Surface Preparation and Problem Solving London's older properties often present wallpaper hanging challenges - uneven walls, damp patches, or previous papers that won't come off cleanly. We're skilled at reading walls and knowing exactly what preparation is needed. Sometimes this means lining paper to create a smooth surface, other times it requires specialist treatments to deal with problem areas before hanging can begin.

Removal and Replacement Services Stripping old wallpaper can be a nightmare, especially when it's been painted over or applied directly to plaster. We have the tools and experience to remove stubborn papers without damaging underlying surfaces. Our steaming and scraping techniques ensure clean removal, preparing walls perfectly for new wallpaper or paint.

Wallpaper Expertise Across London We've hung wallpaper in some of London's most challenging properties. From the curved walls of converted churches in Kensington to the awkward angles of roof conversions in Hammersmith, we've seen it all. Our portfolio includes everything from restoring historical papers in listed buildings to hanging contemporary geometric designs in ultra-modern developments. Each project has taught us something new about the craft.

Understanding London Properties London's housing stock demands specific wallpaper knowledge. Victorian properties often have original horsehair plaster that requires careful preparation. Georgian houses with their elegant proportions need papers that complement the architectural features. Modern developments might have perfectly flat walls, but they often come with challenges like underfloor heating that affects adhesive curing times. We've learned to read each property and adapt our techniques accordingly.

Building Lasting Relationships Word travels fast in London neighbourhoods, and most of our wallpaper hanging work comes from personal recommendations. Last year, we papered a nursery in Putney, and within six months we'd been called back to do the master bedroom, then the hallway. The neighbours saw the quality of our work and asked us to quote for their dining room. These kinds of relationships are what we're built on.

Real Wallpaper Success Stories We'll never forget the panic call from a couple in Shepherd's Bush who'd attempted to hang expensive William Morris paper themselves. Half the room looked like a crime scene, with torn strips and paste everywhere. We managed to salvage most of the paper and start again, teaching them why some jobs are worth leaving to professionals. Another memorable project involved recreating a 1920s Art Deco scheme in a period flat - sourcing reproduction papers and hanging them to original layouts we found in old photographs.

Craftsmanship Guarantee Every wallpaper hanging job comes with our quality guarantee. If a seam lifts or a corner starts to peel within the first year, we'll come back and fix it. We're fully insured for all work, and we stand behind our craftsmanship. When you're investing in good wallpaper, you deserve hanging that will last.
