How much does wallpapering cost?
The cost of wallpapering depends on the size of the room, the type of wallpaper, and the condition of your walls. On average:
- Small room: around £125
- Large room: around £265
- Wallpaper itself: between £5 and £60 per roll
If your walls need preparation (repairs or wallpaper removal), this will increase the total.
Preparing walls for wallpapering
Good preparation is key to a flawless finish. It typically involves:
- Removing any existing wallpaper
- Cleaning and drying the walls
- Using primer or filler where needed to ensure smooth application
- Applying adhesive correctly for long-lasting results
Hanging wallpaper professionally
While DIY wallpapering is possible, hiring an experienced tradesperson saves time and ensures a perfect finish. The process usually involves:
- Measuring and cutting wallpaper to size
- Applying adhesive evenly
- Aligning each strip precisely to avoid gaps or overlaps
- Trimming edges around sockets, radiators, and windows
For step-by-step guidance, check out our guide on how to hang wallpaper.
Advantages and disadvantages of wallpaper
When weighing up whether to decorate with wallpaper or not, it’s helpful to consider both its pros and cons.
The advantages of wallpaper include:
- Appearance: Wallpaper can be very visually appealing
- Maintenance costs: While wallpaper may be more expensive than paint, it's a lot less difficult and expensive to maintain
- Versatile: Wallpaper comes in a large number of styles, colours, designs and textures, allowing you to customise it to fit your interior design scheme
- Covers issues with the wall: Ideal for walls in less-than-perfect condition
- Lifespan: While paint needs to be refreshed every few years, wallpaper can last up to 15 years
The disadvantages of wallpaper include:
- Price: Wallpaper can be more expensive than paint
- Repairs and replacement: If your wallpaper becomes damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced, it may be difficult to find the same pattern again
- Installation: If you don't have experience hanging wallpaper, it can be a tricky, complicated job
- Removal: Wallpaper removal can be hard work, especially in larger rooms
- Humidity: Wallpaper won’t last very long if installed in a humid area of your home
- Fumes: Some wallpapers give out toxic fumes so look for eco friendly alternatives
Wallpaper removal services
If your wallpaper is outdated or damaged, it can be removed quickly, and your walls can then be prepared for redecorating by a wallpapering service in your area.
The cost of wallpaper removal will vary depending on your wall size and condition. However, as a guide, budget around £350 per room for wallpaper removal services.
