Wallpaper Installation Perth
Wallpaper installation across Perth, from hanging and removal to feature walls. We prepare the wall first, so the paper looks built-in, not bumpy.
Good wallpaper starts with the wall
Paint is forgiving and fills small flaws. Wallpaper is a thin, often shiny layer that shows every bump underneath, especially in side light.
So most of the skill and cost comes before the first drop goes up. The wall must be flat, sound and sealed. Perth’s set plaster over double brick is rarely square, so we plumb the first drop instead of running it off the corner.
Wallpaper is one of our specialist painting services. It pairs well with interior painting of the walls around it.
What wallpaper installation in Perth involves
What to know before ordering paper
Measure before you buy. The usable paper per roll depends on the pattern repeat. We measure and calculate, so you don’t end up two rolls short on a discontinued batch.
Use one batch. Rolls from different batches can differ slightly in colour, and it shows on the wall.
Consider the room. Humid rooms like bathrooms and laundries need paper rated for them. Perth’s dry climate helps, but poor ventilation does not.
Think about removal. A properly sealed wall strips cleanly years later. An unprepared one does not.
Still deciding between paper and paint?
A colour consultation covers both. Have it before you order anything.
Wallpaper installation in Perth: common questions
Either works. Most clients choose their own paper for the full range, and we measure first so the quantity is right. We can also source it for you. Either way, the order must allow for the pattern repeat, and every roll must come from one batch.
Yes. We score, soak and strip the old paper, then wash off all leftover paste, the most common reason new paper or paint fails. Removal often damages the plaster, especially where paper was hung on an unsealed wall, so budget for patching as part of the job.
More than paint. Wallpaper shows every flaw underneath, so we fill, sand and skim the wall until it is truly flat, then seal it. On most wallpaper jobs, this preparation takes the larger share of the time and cost, not the hanging itself.
Only if the paper is rated for wet areas, and even then ventilation matters. A poorly ventilated bathroom will defeat most papers over time. For a bathroom feature, we usually suggest a wet-area-rated paper or a painted finish with a mould-resistant coating instead.
