See prices guideWallpaper Removal in Old Street — 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.
Do you cover the rest of Hackney?
Yes — Old Street is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Hackney, alongside Shoreditch, Finsbury, Bunhill, Hoxton. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Old Street?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Old Street businesses and busy households alike.
Are you insured to work in Old Street?
Yes — every job in Old Street is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
