Wallpapering cost guide

The cost of wallpapering depends on the size of the area, the type of wallpaper, and the condition of the walls. Lining paper or standard wallpaper is usually more affordable to hang than heavy, patterned, or specialist papers.

Costs can increase if:

  • Walls need preparation or repairs
  • Pattern matching is required
  • Ceilings or stairwells are included
  • Old wallpaper needs removing

Because every room and wallpaper type is different, posting your job is the best way to receive quotes based on your specific requirements.

Really easy to use. I posted the job in the morning and had quotes back the same day. Ended up booking someone local and the work was spot on.

Nicky, Homeowner

So much simpler than ringing around. I got a couple of quotes, compared them, and picked the one that felt right. Would definitely use again.

Dan, Homeowner

Great service. The builder was very clear and local to me, so I’m not wasting time on the wrong type of quotes. I’ve already listed a new bit of work for a quote!

We had a great experience using Request A Quote. Easy to use & soon after posting our job we had local tradespeople who were interested in the work.

How wallpapering works

Wallpapering usually starts with preparing the walls, including removing old wallpaper, filling imperfections, and smoothing surfaces. Lining paper may be applied where needed.

Wallpaper is then carefully measured, cut, and hung, ensuring patterns line up and seams are neat. Once complete, final checks are made to ensure a clean, even finish before the room is ready to use.
