Wallpaper hanging

A Tasker can bring their wallpaper hanging kit and ample knowledge to breathe new life into your room. The process of hanging wallpaper begins removing elements (decor, electric outlet covers, or furniture) that can get in the way of fitting. The specialist can also smoothen your wall using sandpaper, clean it with soap and water, and add protective primer.

The measurements come afterwards, determining how much wallpaper the area needs. Then, your Tasker can go cutting the wallpaper into strips while taking note of the recorded measurements and leaving a bit of excess for trimming purposes.

The wallpaper hanging process itself will depend on the type of wallpaper you have. Your hired fitter can paste the wall or the actual paper or perform a peel-and-stick procedure. 

With a paperhanging brush, they can smoothen the paper out, going from the centre outwards to remove any creases. Using a level, they will make sure that the strips are properly aligned. If any excess paper is in sight, your specialist can cut it down using a trimming knife. But if you’re getting a pre-pasted wallpaper, the Tasker may need to soak the strips in lukewarm water for a few minutes or according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, they can either let it sit for a bit to activate the paste or go straight to placing the paper onto your walls.

Wallpaper repair

Spotted any unpleasant rips and punctures, loose and peeling edges, or surfacing air bubbles? That’s normal wear-and-tear. It’s likely to happen especially with exposure to moisture, humidity, or sharp objects.

Before you decide to totally remove your wallpaper, a quick repair might be the best solution. Your Tasker will efficiently install patches covering rips or tears, inject wallpaper adhesives eliminating bubbles, or reglue any loose seams. To make sure your wallpaper lasts long, your expert can even offer advice. 

Wallpaper removal

Is your wallpaper dominated by moulds or lacking in flair? It might be time to have it replaced. In the process, your specialist can utilise soap and water, a putty knife for scraping off, a stripper solution, or a steamer to help loosen the adhesive. With Airtasker, you don’t need to stress out in doing this yourself.
