Overview
Wallpaper hanging in Hammersmith W6, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Hammersmith, wallpaper hanging here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 85% of Hammersmith's 3,807 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How wallpaper hanging works in Hammersmith
Five steps, the same on every W6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Hammersmith gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, which is what a 85% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hammersmith actually produces 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 Hammersmith customers book us
Four things decide whether a W6 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Bookings are usually within a week, with a survey first for anything larger than a single feature wall. Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hammersmith walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hammersmith, often with surface conduit — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W6, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 40% one-person households in Hammersmith, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
Decorators carry £5m public liability cover and work to dust-sheeted, low-odour paste specifications — what concierge buildings and managing agents ask for before they will approve a weekday booking.
Fixed prices
Wallpaper hanging prices in Hammersmith
Fixed prices for W6 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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 Hammersmith
The same scope across W6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Walls washed, filled and sized before the first drop goes up, checked on every W6 visit
- Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: pattern matched at every seam and re-plumbed at each internal corner, with 3,807 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On W6 jobs: sockets and switch plates loosened and papered behind, not cut around, wallpaper hanging included
- In Hammersmith: off-cuts, paste buckets and dust sheets taken away, sized for the a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts
Not included
- Full re-plastering where the substrate has blown — quoted after stripping, which we refer on to the right trade in Hammersmith
- Damp treatment: paper hung over active damp will fail and we will not do it, handled by London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing asbestos-containing textured coatings such as older Artex, outside the fixed price on Hammersmith bookings
