I’m looking for someone experienced to fully prepare this bedroom wall for professional wallpaper installation.

Wallpaper installation is NOT required. I already have a wallpaper installer — I need this wall properly prepared beforehand so they can come in and install directly onto a clean, flat, smooth surface. Located in Tullimbar, NSW.
