Wallpaper hanging in Unsworth

Access here is typically driveway standing, so tools and panels come straight in through the side gate. Bury Council controls parking in M45, so any permit or visitor bay is arranged before the visit and included in the quoted price — never added afterwards.

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 M45 — postcode never changes the figure.

83% of Unsworth 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.

We do everything that can be done, photograph the problem with the part reference and tell you exactly what is needed. Returning to finish carries no second call-out charge in Unsworth.

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. The same answer applies to every Unsworth booking.

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 M45 at one fixed price.

Most Unsworth 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 Unsworth. 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.
