Top Wallpapering related questions

In the United Kingdom, the price range typically starts at £80 and can go up to £300 for wallpapering. Factors like the room size, room type, wallpaper type, and wallpaper condition affect the total rate. There may be additional costs for when you’ll book the service in the evening, during weekends, or on holidays.


If you specifically need to replace an old wallpaper, the rates can go from  £150 to £650, depending on the wallpaper’s current state, plus the room’s size and layout. 

The duration depends on the type of service to be done. Wallpaper hanging, for example, could last anywhere between three hours to a whole day, depending on the number of rooms to be fitted with your new wall coverings. The same goes for wallpaper removals since the Tasker also needs to consider the wallpaper’s type and age before proceeding. It’s best to coordinate with your Tasker so they can offer a more accurate time frame.

If you want to, yes. However, if you need to attend another errand around the house or office, you can leave your Tasker to complete the wallpapering service required. You can give them specific instructions, especially if you have any valuable items that you don’t want to be moved or touched. You can always drop by the room or area to check on the progress, or stick around and observe the work being done. 

Not necessarily. Most Taskers also have an arsenal of important equipment for the service. They’ll usually need wall-size primers, wallpaper paste, adhesives, paint rollers, sponges, a tape measure, and scissors. If you have these materials available, you can lend them to your Tasker, but do let them know that you’ll still need extra tools when posting your task.

Revisit your preferences. If you find yourself wanting to remodel a space often, it may be smart to head the wallpapering route as it comes in a variety of patterns, designs, and colours that can match your present aesthetic. Meanwhile, wall painting is often more straightforward and affordable because it demands less materials and manpower. If sticking to one shade of paint for an extended time isn’t an issue, consider getting your walls painted instead.

No, wallpapers should not do any damage to your wall, as their purpose is  to provide a protective layer and preserve the wall underneath it. The trouble only happens when the wallpaper is misapplied. One of the causes is incorrect adhesive, which leaves unremovable marks on your walls. Using the wrong installation tools can also create chips and scratches. This is where the essence of hiring an actual wallpapering specialist to do the fitting comes in.

Absolutely. In Airtasker, you can book specialists in various home improvement or maintenance services. There are tradesmen who can lend a hand in electrical or plumbing concerns, whether you need someone to install light fixtures or repair broken pipes and leaks. You can also connect to a pool of Taskers for building (renovations), plastering (decorative mouldings), interior designing (decorating spaces), and assembling (putting furniture together).

What do wallpapering services include?

It can be tricky trying to diagnose your walls’ current state. Does it really demand to be entirely changed, or just call for a quick touch-up? After all, you won’t want to waste money and time trying to fix the wrong problem.


From how to hang wallpaper to how to solve peeling edges, your hired Tasker can solve your worries. They are capable of doing the right application and even be the go-to person for quick consultations, like when selecting the best wallpaper for your interiors.


Explore what a Tasker can do here:


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.


Wallpaper mural installation 

If damages are out of the picture and you’re just looking for ways to spruce up your walls, go for a mural. Unique decals can boost your wall’s visual appeal.
