What do wallpapering services include?

It can be tricky trying to diagnose your walls’ current state. Does it really demand to be entirely changed, or just call for a quick touch-up? After all, you won’t want to waste money and time trying to fix the wrong problem.


From how to hang wallpaper to how to solve peeling edges, your hired Tasker can solve your worries. They are capable of doing the right application and even be the go-to person for quick consultations, like when selecting the best wallpaper for your interiors.


Explore what a Tasker can do here:


Wallpaper hanging

A Tasker can bring their wallpaper hanging kit and ample knowledge to breathe new life into your room. The process of hanging wallpaper begins removing elements (decor, electric outlet covers, or furniture) that can get in the way of fitting. The specialist can also smoothen your wall using sandpaper, clean it with soap and water, and add protective primer.


The measurements come afterwards, determining how much wallpaper the area needs. Then, your Tasker can go cutting the wallpaper into strips while taking note of the recorded measurements and leaving a bit of excess for trimming purposes.


The wallpaper hanging process itself will depend on the type of wallpaper you have. Your hired fitter can paste the wall or the actual paper or perform a peel-and-stick procedure. 


With a paperhanging brush, they can smoothen the paper out, going from the centre outwards to remove any creases. Using a level, they will make sure that the strips are properly aligned. If any excess paper is in sight, your specialist can cut it down using a trimming knife. But if you’re getting a pre-pasted wallpaper, the Tasker may need to soak the strips in lukewarm water for a few minutes or according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, they can either let it sit for a bit to activate the paste or go straight to placing the paper onto your walls.


Wallpaper repair

Spotted any unpleasant rips and punctures, loose and peeling edges, or surfacing air bubbles? That’s normal wear-and-tear. It’s likely to happen especially with exposure to moisture, humidity, or sharp objects.


Before you decide to totally remove your wallpaper, a quick repair might be the best solution. Your Tasker will efficiently install patches covering rips or tears, inject wallpaper adhesives eliminating bubbles, or reglue any loose seams. To make sure your wallpaper lasts long, your expert can even offer advice. 


Wallpaper removal

Is your wallpaper dominated by moulds or lacking in flair? It might be time to have it replaced. In the process, your specialist can utilise soap and water, a putty knife for scraping off, a stripper solution, or a steamer to help loosen the adhesive. With Airtasker, you don’t need to stress out in doing this yourself.


Wallpaper mural installation 

If damages are out of the picture and you’re just looking for ways to spruce up your walls, go for a mural. Unique decals can boost your wall’s visual appeal.

Wall papering in a small toilet and ceiling repaired. There is mold on the ceiling but it’s only on the paint, I have removed some and it’s not on the ceiling itself. Ceiling needs smoothing? Open to suggestions for the ceiling

I’m so disappointed, the photos on the reviews are nothing like the experience we’ve had. Arrived 2.5hrs late, came in asking for more money, was done quite quickly and when I went to check, there were big bubbles, a rip in the ceiling wallpaper and a huge rip behind the door, I said I wasn’t happy and wouldn’t pay £300 for the work and asked him to fix the problems. He then replaced some pieces but took 5hours total and still doesn’t look good

Wall - wallpaper removal and plastering

Plaistow, Greater London

I'd love to fix my baby boys room.. theres a few issues with it. 1 corner has some old damp from previous owners (we have now fixed the gutters to prevent further damage). We need to steam the old wallpaper off so we have a fresh wall to work with. In another corner we need to remove a plank that once hid pipes i believe. There are no longer pipes behind it (see photos). This would then require plastering to fill in his gap and create a flat smooth wall. Then I need to paint the whole room again! We have 2 kids so are too busy and never get time to resolve these issues and my son is now almost 6 months. Please please reach out to me if you think you can help me? Fee negotiable. Thank you
