Overview
Wallpaper hanging in Dagenham East and Rush Green RM10, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Dagenham East, wallpaper hanging here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 26% of Dagenham East and Rush Green's 2,353 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How wallpaper hanging works in Dagenham East and Rush Green
Five steps, the same on every RM10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — measured on the walk in from Dagenham East (District) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Substrate check
Walls tested for damp, chalky distemper and blown plaster — the three things that make paper lift within a month.
Step 2
Strip and prep
Old paper steamed off, holes filled, sanded and sized so the paste grabs evenly across the wall.
Step 3
Set the first plumb line
Started from a plumbed line rather than a corner, because almost no London corner is square.
Step 4
Hang and match
Drops booked, hung in sequence, pattern matched at each seam and rolled flat without shining the paper.
Step 5
Trim, refit and clear
Cut in cleanly at skirting and ceiling, switch plates refitted, floor left clean.
Why choose us
Why Dagenham East and Rush Green customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Dagenham East and Rush Green wall.
Crew sized to the job
One decorator for a feature wall or single room; two for stairwells, long drops and murals that must be hung to a strict sequence. Easy parking and wide roads throughout, with driveways on most streets.
Booked around your day
Bookings are usually within a week, with a survey first for anything larger than a single feature wall. Dagenham East (District) is the nearest station, so a RM10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Dagenham East and Rush Green walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Barking and Dagenham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in RM10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Dagenham East and Rush Green gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Wallpaper hanging prices in Dagenham East and Rush Green
Fixed prices for RM10 and the rest of Barking and Dagenham. Prep decides the price far more than the paper does. Chalky lime plaster, previously painted-over paper and out-of-plumb corners each add hours before a single drop is hung.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feature wall, plain or small repeat | £180 | 3–4 hrs | One wall, but the prep — lining, sizing and filling — is most of the work and all of the finish. |
| Feature wall, large repeat or panoramic mural | £260 | 4–6 hrs | Panels have to be hung in order and matched across the drop; there is no second chance with a mural. |
| Average bedroom, four walls | £450 | 1 day | Corners in a London bedroom are rarely plumb, so every internal corner is overlapped and re-plumbed. |
| Hallway and stairwell | £620 | 1–2 days | Working off a stair platform is slower and needs two people for long drops over the flight. |
| Lining paper before painting, per wall | £120 | 2–3 hrs | Cross-lining hides the ripples in old lime plaster that emulsion would otherwise show up. |
| Stripping old paper, per room | £150 | 3–5 hrs | Steaming, scraping and washing down, plus the repairs the old paper was hiding. |

Scope
What's included in Dagenham East and Rush Green
The same scope across RM10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Barking and Dagenham bookings: walls washed, filled and sized before the first drop goes up, allowing for the 29% of RM10 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Pattern matched at every seam and re-plumbed at each internal corner, noted on the Dagenham East and Rush Green job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Dagenham East and Rush Green: sockets and switch plates loosened and papered behind, not cut around, timed against the walk in from Dagenham East (District)
- On RM10 jobs: off-cuts, paste buckets and dust sheets taken away, agreed on the doorstep in Dagenham East and Rush Green before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Full re-plastering where the substrate has blown — quoted after stripping, handled by London Borough of Barking and Dagenham or a specialist contractor instead
- Damp treatment: paper hung over active damp will fail and we will not do it, which we refer on to the right trade in Dagenham East and Rush Green
- Removing asbestos-containing textured coatings such as older Artex, outside the fixed price on Dagenham East and Rush Green bookings
