Wallpapering in London

Experience, Technics, Precision this skills quarantee your satisfaction with great visual expression for years. 
"Quality means a highest degree of excellence". You can see our effects in gallery where we have pleasure to show some of our work.
The traditional wallpapering method is to hang the first piece of paper in the middle of a chimney breast or window and work outwards in both directions, with the paper meeting at the most inconspicuous corner of the room. However, you may like to start at your longest uninterrupted wall to give yourself the best chance of mastering the techniques before tackling corners or obstructions.

As the walls in most homes are never truly square, a plumb bob should be used to mark a vertical line. Hold the string on the wall and allow the line to steady. At this point, it is helpful to have somebody hold the bob, allowing you to mark the wall using the line as a guide. Cut a length of paper overlapping the ceiling and skirting board by about an inch, and using a paste brush, paste the paper working from the centre, ensuring both edges are also coated. Slide the paper on the wall against the line and smooth out all bubbles by brushing from the centre outwards. Push the paper into the edge of the skirting board and at the ceiling, then peel back and cut with paperhanging scissors. Alternatively, a snap-off trimming knife and wallpaper cutting guide can be used to cut the excess off with the paper in place.

If hanging a patterned paper, measure the second piece on the wall against the first, as the pattern may fall in such a place that a very large overlap may occur at the ceiling. Subsequent pieces should be butted against the previous piece, but not overlapped. Once hung, seal the edges lightly by rolling over them with a seam roller.
When papering around switches and sockets, first turn off your electricity supply, then loosen the screws in the switch but do not remove them completely. Hang the paper as normal, covering the switch, and then make diagonal cuts from the centre of the socket towards each corner. The flaps can be trimmed off leaving a small overlap that can be tucked behind the switch. Do not allow excess paste to enter the socket and make sure the area is completely dry before turning the electricity back on.
