Wallpapering: what the job involves

Stripping old wallpaper and hanging new paper or a feature wall, with the walls prepared and lined so the joins stay closed and the pattern lines up. Paper shows every flaw in the wall underneath, so preparation decides the result.

How long it takes: A feature wall takes a few hours, a standard room about a day; stripping old layers, lining, stairwells and large-repeat patterns add time.

The full guide to wallpapering — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.

What affects the price

Wall area and the number of rolls
Paper type and pattern repeat: plain, large-repeat, mural or grasscloth
Stripping old paper, and how many layers are on
Lining the walls first
Stairwells and high walls that need a platform
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
