Wallcovering Installation in New Town by Sussex Interiors

As well as New Town itself, our work reaches across West Sussex to areas we also cover such as Little Norlington and Maidenbower.

Preparation is where a good wallcovering finish is won or lost. We prepare the walls properly, stripping back any existing wallpaper and making the surface sound before a single drop is hung. Where plaster is uneven or damaged it may need skimming first, which we can carry out as part of the same project so the finished paper sits flat and even.

Hanging is carried out carefully with close attention to every seam and edge. Bold patterns, textured papers and large-repeat designs are the least forgiving, so each drop is aligned and finished so joins are clean and the pattern reads as one continuous surface. That precision is exactly why experienced installation matters more with wallcovering than almost any other decorating task.

A single feature wall typically takes a day including preparation, while a full room can take one to two days depending on the pattern complexity and the condition of the walls. We talk you through the likely sequence and timeline at the quote stage, so you know what to expect before any work starts in your home.

Because we are painters and decorators as well as wallcovering installers, the surrounding paintwork can be handled by the same team on the same visit. That means ceilings, woodwork and adjacent walls are finished to sit properly against the new wallcovering, with one contractor responsible for the whole room rather than several trades to coordinate.

Being genuinely local means a prompt site visit for New Town enquiries, and the same applies for other areas we cover such as Maplehurst and Maresfield.
