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 St. James?
Smaller St. James 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.
Do you supply materials for St. James jobs?
Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in St. James?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for St. James businesses and busy households alike.
