Wallpaper hanging in Gatley

85% of Gatley bookings are offered a same or next-day slot. Send photos and the details before midday and there is usually someone with you that afternoon, with the visit length agreed up front.

Almost always, with the right method. Local walls are inter-war cavity construction with sound plaster, so brackets sit well once we have traced the cables and the pipe drops, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard Gatley job takes around 96 minutes.

Access here is typically a private drive within a few steps of the door, which keeps carry time and stair turns to a minimum. Stockport Council controls parking in SK8, so any permit or visitor bay is arranged before the visit and included in the quoted price — never added afterwards.

Send us the wall dimensions and the pattern repeat and we will work it out, adding the usual allowance. Ordering from the same batch matters — shades shift between print runs. Nothing changes for Gatley — Stockport rates are identical.

Yes. Panel murals are set out dry first so the sequence and centre line are agreed, then hung in order and trimmed to the room rather than to the panel edges. Nothing changes for Gatley — Stockport rates are identical.

Yes. Everyone attending a Gatley job is DBS-checked, reference-verified and covered by £5m public liability insurance. You get their name before the visit and they carry photo ID.

Most Gatley homes have 1930s solid plaster on brick with original picture rails, plus later skim coats over the chimney breast. Before the first drop we do the prep that substrate needs: hairline cracks raked out and filled, picture-rail line cut in, and the chimney breast checked for salt staining before any paper touches it. Lining is quoted where it genuinely improves the finish rather than as a default extra, and we tell you on the survey either way.

Typical here is 2.5–2.7m ceilings with a picture rail dropping the papered height, which changes the drop maths on a patterned paper. Roll count is wall width divided by roll width, then drops per roll set by your pattern repeat — a 52cm-wide, 10.05m roll with a 64cm offset repeat usually yields three usable drops in Gatley. We calculate it on the survey and give you the number before you buy.

Occasional chimney-breast damp from an unvented flue — capped and vented before papering, or the stain returns through the new paper. We meter-test any suspect wall on the visit and will not paper over an active problem — paper hung on a damp wall lifts at the seams within weeks, and the repaper costs more than the fix.
