How much does wallpaper removal cost?
It depends on the number of rooms, how many layers of old paper there are, and the condition of the plaster underneath. A few photos of each papered room, sent over WhatsApp, get you a free fixed quote with no obligation.
Will removing wallpaper damage my plaster?
Not with the right technique — we steam and soak the paper free rather than scraping, which is what usually causes the damage. Older, more fragile plaster gets extra care.
Can you paint or re-paper straight after stripping?
Yes, once the wall is washed down, dry and any marks are filled and sanded — we can move straight into painting or hanging new paper in the same visit.
Do you cover the rest of Islington?
Yes — Barnsbury is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Islington, alongside Caledonian, Pentonville, King's Cross, Kings Cross. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
