See prices guideWallpaper Removal in Clerkenwell — FAQs.
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.
How soon can you start in Clerkenwell?
Smaller Clerkenwell jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
