Newcastle Painting & Decorating provides professional wallpapering services in Newcastle and across the North East for homeowners, landlords, property investors and businesses.We help with everything from simple feature walls to full-room wallpapering, wallpaper removal, wall preparation, lining paper, digital murals, wide-width vinyl wallcoverings and high-end designer wallpaper installation.Wallpaper can completely change the look of a room, but the final result depends heavily on preparation, accurate measuring, careful cutting and clean installation. Poorly hung wallpaper can show gaps, bubbles, lifted seams, pattern mismatch or rough wall defects underneath. That is why we take time to prepare the surface properly and handle the material with care.Whether you need a bedroom feature wall, a living room mural, hallway wallpaper, traditional paper, paste-the-wall wallpaper, luxury designer wallpaper or a wide-width vinyl wallcovering, we can provide advice and a clear quote before starting.
We provide wallpaper hanging services for all types of homes and properties across Newcastle and nearby areas.Our wallpaper hanging work can include:
Every wallpaper is different. Some papers are easy to handle, while others are heavier, more delicate, wider, more expensive or harder to match. Before starting, we check the wall condition, wallpaper type, pattern repeat, manufacturer instructions and the level of preparation needed.
Feature walls are one of the most popular wallpapering services. A single wallpapered wall can add colour, texture and character without covering the whole room.Feature wall wallpapering is ideal for:
A feature wall needs to be centred properly, especially when the wallpaper has a strong pattern, mural design or repeated print. We take care with layout, measuring, joins, corners and cutting around sockets, switches and edges.
Digital mural wallpaper is becoming more popular for homes and businesses that want a unique finish. Murals can include landscapes, abstract designs, brand graphics, children’s room designs, maps, floral designs, city scenes or custom printed images.Digital murals need careful planning because each panel usually has a specific order. If the first panel is not positioned correctly, the whole design can move out of line.We can help with:
For digital murals, the wall needs to be prepared properly. Any bumps, cracks or rough areas may show through the finished mural. We can assess the wall before hanging and advise whether filling, sanding, lining paper or skimming is needed.
Some premium wallpapers and commercial wallcoverings are wider and heavier than standard wallpaper. These can include wide-width vinyl, heavyweight wallpaper, fabric-backed vinyl, textured wallcoverings and specialist designer papers.Wide-width vinyl and high-end wallcoverings can be used in:
These materials often need more care because they can be expensive, heavier to handle and less forgiving than standard wallpaper. The wall condition, adhesive type, cutting method and manufacturer instructions all matter.Before quoting, we may ask to see the wallpaper label, installation instructions, wall size and photos of the wall. This helps avoid problems and makes sure the correct preparation is allowed for.
Traditional wallpaper can still give a beautiful finish, especially in older homes, character properties and rooms where a softer classic style is wanted.We can help with:
Traditional paper can be more delicate than modern paste-the-wall wallpaper, so it needs to be handled carefully. Some papers need soaking time, some stretch slightly, and some require extra care around seams and corners.
If you have bought expensive or designer wallpaper, it is important to use someone who understands the risk of waste, poor cutting and pattern mistakes.We can help with luxury wallpaper installation for:
With expensive wallpaper, preparation and planning are just as important as hanging the paper itself. We measure carefully, check the pattern repeat and plan the drops before starting. This helps reduce mistakes and gives a cleaner finish.
Old wallpaper removal is often needed before painting, replastering or installing new wallpaper. Some wallpaper comes off easily, but other walls can be more difficult, especially where there are several layers, old adhesive, painted wallpaper or damaged plaster underneath.Our wallpaper removal services include:
Once wallpaper is removed, the wall condition becomes clear. Some walls only need minor filling and sanding. Others may need more repair work or skimming before paint or new wallpaper can be applied.
Wallpaper shows the condition of the wall underneath. If the surface is rough, cracked, dusty, damp, flaky or uneven, the finished wallpaper may not sit properly.Wall preparation can include:
Good preparation helps wallpaper bond properly and gives the final finish a much cleaner look. This is especially important for smooth wallpapers, murals, metallic papers and premium wallcoverings.
Lining paper can help improve the surface before painting or wallpapering. It can be useful when walls are slightly rough, marked or uneven, but do not always need full plastering.We can help with:
Lining paper is not a replacement for plastering if the walls are badly damaged, but it can be a good option in the right situation. We can advise after seeing the wall condition.
We provide wallpapering services for different rooms across the home.Bedroom wallpapering can create a calm, warm or luxury feel, especially behind the bed as a feature wall.Living room wallpapering can add a statement look, texture or colour to the main room of the home.Hallway wallpapering can make the entrance feel more finished and welcoming, but hallways often need durable materials and careful preparation because they are busy areas.We can help with:
Wallpapering is often one of the final stages after renovation, plastering or decorating work. If walls have been freshly plastered, they need to dry properly and be prepared before wallpaper is installed.We can help with:
This is useful if you are renovating a bedroom, living room, hallway, bathroom, rental property or full house and want wallpaper included as part of the final finish.
Wallpaper is not only for homes. It can also make a business space look more professional, stylish and memorable.We can help with commercial wallpapering for:
