Wallpapering Services
We hang wallpaper across Coventry, from single feature walls to full room installations.
Feature Walls
A feature wall in a living room or bedroom creates a focal point without wallpapering the whole room. The wall behind the bed, the chimney breast, or the main viewing wall are the most popular choices.
Pattern matching on a single feature wall requires the same care as a full room. For bold colour alternatives, see our feature wall painting page.
Full Room Wallpapering
Full room wallpapering in Styvechale and Kenilworth period properties requires careful planning. The pattern repeat must be set at the correct height to read well in the room.
Original plaster walls in Earlsdon and Styvechale period properties have minor irregularities that become visible under wallpaper without lining paper.
Lining Paper
Lining paper gives wallpaper and paint a smooth, stable surface to bond to. It bridges minor surface irregularities and prevents topcoat from soaking into absorbent plaster unevenly.
We hang lining paper horizontally when the surface is going to be wallpapered. This prevents the lining and hanging seams from aligning.
Period Properties and Cornicing
Period properties in Earlsdon and Styvechale have cornicing, dado rails, and picture rails that divide the wall into distinct zones. Wallpaper hung above the dado rail needs precise cutting at each feature.
We cut at cornicing and rail details cleanly. No overlap onto the feature and no visible gap.
Wallpaper Removal
Old wallpaper often needs to be removed before any new work can start. Layers of old paper in Earlsdon and Chapelfields Victorian terraces can be substantial.
Where paper is pasted directly to original lime plaster, we steam carefully to avoid pulling the plaster face.

Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit and Assessment
We visit the room, assess the wall surface, and discuss the wallpaper choice. We advise on whether lining paper is needed.
2. Surface Preparation
Walls are cleaned and any repairs are made good. Where lining paper is required, it is hung first and allowed to dry fully.
3. Pattern Planning
We establish the centre of the wall and set the pattern position from there. The first length is hung plumb.
4. Hanging
Lengths are cut, pasted, and booked where required. Each length is applied and smoothed from the centre outward to remove bubbles.
5. Trimming and Finishing
Lengths are trimmed at ceiling, skirting board, and cornice line. Switches and sockets are cut around cleanly.

Wallpapering Costs in Coventry
Prices below are estimates only. Every room is different.
What Drives the Price
Pattern repeat, room complexity, and surface preparation all affect the cost. A large pattern repeat generates more waste and more alignment time.
Original plaster in Styvechale and Earlsdon period properties needs lining paper. Both add to the total.
Typical Ranges
Feature wall in a modern or post-war property with no lining paper: £250 to £450 for labour. Full room hang with lining paper in a Styvechale Edwardian detached: £620 to £980.
Full room hang with large rooms in a Royal Leamington Spa Regency property: £900 to £1,500+ for labour.
