Wallpaper hanging in New Moston

Almost always, with the right method. Local walls are brick cavity walls with bonded plaster, straightforward for brackets once the cable and pipe runs are scanned, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard New Moston job takes around 121 minutes.

Most New Moston 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 New Moston. 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.
