Wallpapering Services in Cheltenham
Feature Walls
A single feature wall transforms a room without a full-room commitment. Popular in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms across Cheltenham.
We advise on placement, help with pattern orientation, and hang to a clean finish with accurate joins. Edges at skirting, architrave, and ceiling line are finished tightly.
Full Room Wallpapering
Full room wallpapering requires accurate pattern matching from the first drop to the last. In Regency or Victorian properties with alcoves, chimney breasts, and recesses, joins need careful planning.
We plan the layout before hanging a single drop. Properties in Montpellier and Pittville often have rooms with multiple alcoves, dado rails, and picture rails that require additional planning.
Wallpaper Removal
Old wallpaper must be removed properly before new paper is hung. Hanging over existing paper causes new paper to bubble, lift, and fail within months.
We remove all existing paper, treat the walls where needed, and confirm the surface is stable before hanging begins. Planning to paint once removed? See our interior painting page.
Specialist Hanging: Designer and Luxury Wallpapers
Designer wallpapers are expensive. A roll of Cole and Son or Osborne and Little can cost £80 to £200, and wasting drops through poor pattern matching is costly.
We handle heavy linen and fabric-backed wallpapers that require specialist adhesives. Call 01242 503600 before hanging begins to discuss the paper’s requirements.
Period Property Wallpapering
Dado rails and picture rails divide walls into distinct horizontal zones. Chimney breasts and alcoves are the focal points of Georgian and Regency reception rooms — we plan pattern placement before hanging starts.
Old plaster in Cheltenham’s period properties is often slightly uneven. We apply lining paper before wallpapering where the surface needs it. For feature walls combined with painted rooms, see our feature wall painting page.
How It Works
1. Consultation
We discuss your design ideas, review the room, and advise on pattern choice, scale, and placement relative to the room’s architectural features.
2. Surface Assessment
We assess plaster condition, identify existing paper, and confirm whether lining paper is needed before hanging begins.
3. Surface Preparation
Old paper is removed, imperfections are filled, and lining paper is applied where required. This stage determines how well the finished wallpaper holds.
4. Hanging
Paper is hung to a plumb vertical, with precise pattern matching at every join. Edges at skirting boards, architraves, and ceiling lines are finished neatly.
5. Trims and Details
Sockets and switches are cut around cleanly. Corners are turned correctly. Alcove returns are matched to the main wall pattern.
6. Final Inspection
We check every join, edge, and seam before leaving. Any air bubbles or lifting edges are addressed before the adhesive sets.

Wallpapering Costs in Cheltenham
Prices below are estimates only. Every project is different. Call 01242 503600 for a precise quote.
Wallpaper Price
Labour is the same whether the paper costs £15 or £150 a roll. Expensive designer papers do not increase labour costs directly, but they do increase the cost of waste if the job is not carefully planned.
Surface Preparation
Walls that need old paper stripped, filled, and lined add time before a single drop is hung. Cheltenham’s period properties with uneven plaster almost always need lining paper.
Pattern Repeat Complexity
Large pattern repeats mean more waste per drop. A 64cm repeat on a 2.4m wall creates significant offcuts at every drop, affecting both material cost and hanging time.
Worth knowing: alcoves and chimney breasts add time and material waste. A room that looks straightforward can take 30 to 50% longer than a plain rectangular room of the same floor area.
