Wallpapering Services in Newcastle
Feature Walls and Accent Walls
A single feature wall creates visual interest and a focal point in a room without committing to full wallpaper coverage. We help you select a wall that makes visual sense. Often that is the wall you see first when entering, or the wall behind a bed or sofa.
Feature walls work well in open-plan living spaces in modern Kenton and Ponteland properties. A bold paper adds definition to a zone without overwhelming the space.
Full Room Wallpapering
Full room wallpapering covers all four walls, around doors and windows. It requires precise hanging and accurate pattern matching. We work efficiently to complete rooms in one to two days depending on room size and complexity.
All existing wallpaper is removed and surfaces are prepared to a smooth, flat finish before new paper hangs.
Lining Paper Application
Lining paper is essential on uneven period plaster. It provides a smooth substrate for hanging feature paper without the bumps and pits of original plasterwork showing through. Cross-lining is the most reliable approach on older walls in Jesmond and Gosforth properties.
Lining paper is also applied when hanging delicate or expensive wallpapers that need a perfect substrate.


Wallpaper Removal and Preparation

Wallpaper Removal
Existing wallpaper is stripped back to bare plaster or painted surfaces. We use a combination of steaming, soaking, and careful scraping to remove old paper without damaging the wall underneath.
If wall damage is revealed during removal, we flag it and advise on repair options before hanging new paper.
Preparation for Hanging
Bare plaster is filled and sanded where needed to create a smooth surface. Painted walls are key-sanded lightly to help paste adhesion. All surfaces are cleaned and assessed for damp before any new paper goes on.
On period properties, we check for and treat any biological growth before hanging begins.

Wallpapering Costs in Newcastle
Prices below are estimates only. Every room is different. Call 0191 743 3614 for a precise quote.


What Drives the Price
Three things drive the price. Lining paper requirement — period properties with uneven plaster require lining paper, which adds significant preparation time. Room size and complexity — a large reception room with bay windows and cornicing takes longer than a simple bedroom. Wallpaper grade — budget papers cost less than designer or luxury options, and pattern complexity affects cutting and waste.
Typical Price Ranges
Small bedroom, feature wall, no lining (Heaton Victorian terrace): £180–£280.
Medium reception room with lining and feature wall (Jesmond Edwardian): £450–£750.
Large period reception with high ceilings, cornicing, full coverage (Gosforth): £600–£1,000.
Example Project
Lining and wallpapering a bay-fronted Jesmond reception room with one feature wall in a quality wallpaper, including cross-lining the bay recess: £450–£750.
