Wallcovering Installation Shortgate

From Shortgate across the West Sussex area we help local homeowners, and we also cover nearby places like Rowfant and Ridgewood.

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.

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.

The same care applies across every type of wallcovering we install. As well as standard wallpaper in all styles and weights, we hang textured papers, vinyl wallcoverings, grasscloth and other natural materials, feature walls and bespoke designer wallcoverings. Each material is handled with the technique it needs, all finished to one consistent, professional standard.

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.

Whether your project is in the centre of Shortgate or on its outskirts, we bring the same standard to every West Sussex home, including nearby Rushy Green and Saddlescombe.
