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.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Shadwell?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Shadwell businesses and busy households alike.
Do you cover the rest of Tower Hamlets?
Yes — Shadwell is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, alongside St George in the East, Wapping, St. Katharine's and Wapping, Ratcliff. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
