How it works
How wallpaper hanging works in Kidbrooke
Five steps, the same on every SE3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE3, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Kidbrooke customers book us
What follows is specific to Kidbrooke: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
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. Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere.
Booked around your day
Bookings are usually within a week, with a survey first for anything larger than a single feature wall. Kidbrooke (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kidbrooke walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kidbrooke actually produces in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kidbrooke stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Wallpaper hanging prices in Kidbrooke
Fixed prices for SE3 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Kidbrooke
The same scope across SE3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Kidbrooke: walls washed, filled and sized before the first drop goes up, the way it is done on Kidbrooke jobs
- On SE3 jobs: pattern matched at every seam and re-plumbed at each internal corner, with 44% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: sockets and switch plates loosened and papered behind, not cut around, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Off-cuts, paste buckets and dust sheets taken away — including wallpaper hanging
Not included
- Full re-plastering where the substrate has blown — quoted after stripping, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE3
- Damp treatment: paper hung over active damp will fail and we will not do it, outside the fixed price on Kidbrooke bookings
- Removing asbestos-containing textured coatings such as older Artex, and we will say so before the SE3 visit rather than on the day

Working in Kidbrooke
Kidbrooke SE3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kidbrooke — the numbers that actually change a wallpaper hanging quote.
In Kidbrooke (SE3) the split is 44% flats to 56% houses over 7,629 households, and the stock is post-war.
Because 22% of Kidbrooke is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of SE3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Kidbrooke substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kidbrooke actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kidbrooke stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE3 customer twice.
Kidbrooke Village — the rebuilt Ferrier estate — beside Sutcliffe Park. That character decides the practical detail of wallpaper hanging here far more than the borough boundary does. Kidbrooke is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere — one reason one decorator for a feature wall or single room; two for stairwells, long drops and murals that must be hung to a strict sequence. Fitters travelling in use Kidbrooke (Southeastern).
