Wallpaper hanging in Springhead

Feature wall (one wall, plain or small repeat) starts at from £129 and standard room (four walls) is from £349. The price is set by the wall area, the pattern repeat and how much preparation the surface needs and fixed in writing before we travel. Rates are identical across OL4 — postcode never changes the figure.

86% of Springhead 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 solid nine-inch brick with original lath and plaster on the upper floors, so fixings change room by room, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard Springhead job takes around 185 minutes.

On older or patched plaster, usually yes. It evens the surface, stops the finish paper telegraphing every imperfection and gives a far better result under both paper and paint. Nothing changes for Springhead — Oldham rates are identical.

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. That holds across OL4 at one fixed price.

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. The same answer applies to every Springhead booking.

Most Springhead homes have uneven lime or sand-and-cement render over gritstone, with soft patches and a wavy face that never reads flat under a plain paper. Before the first drop we do the prep that substrate needs: friable render cut out and made good, then heavy 1400-grade cross lining — and on cold external walls an insulated thermal lining board or polystyrene liner before the finish paper. 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 lower 2.2–2.4m cottage ceilings with heavy beams and irregular corners, so every drop is plumbed and scribed rather than measured once. 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 Springhead. We calculate it on the survey and give you the number before you buy.

Cold solid external walls prone to interstitial condensation and mould — insulated lining and breathable adhesive are the standard answer here, not vinyl. 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.
