Overview
This page prices wallpaper hanging for Parsons Green SW6 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 7,318 households in total. Work starts at £180, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Walls tested for damp, chalky distemper and blown plaster — the three things that make paper lift within a month.
Step 2
Old paper steamed off, holes filled, sanded and sized so the paste grabs evenly across the wall.
Step 3
Started from a plumbed line rather than a corner, because almost no London corner is square.
Step 4
Drops booked, hung in sequence, pattern matched at each seam and rolled flat without shining the paper.
Step 5
Cut in cleanly at skirting and ceiling, switch plates refitted, floor left clean.
Why choose us
One decorator for a feature wall or single room; two for stairwells, long drops and murals that must be hung to a strict sequence. Permit-only terraced streets, narrow front paths and basement conversions reached by internal stairs.
Bookings are usually within a week, with a survey first for anything larger than a single feature wall. Parsons Green (District) is the nearest station, so a SW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SW6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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
| 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. |
