Wallpaper & Wallcovering Installation in Terrible Down

From Terrible Down across the West Sussex area we help local homeowners, and we also cover nearby places like South Street and Southwater.

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.

Ordering the right amount of wallcovering matters, particularly on large-repeat patterns where waste adds up quickly. We can help calculate the quantity needed from the room dimensions and the pattern repeat, so you avoid both over-ordering and the risk of running short partway through a batch that may be difficult to match later.

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.

Our Terrible Down work sits within a compact West Sussex radius that also covers nearby areas we serve, including Spithurst and Slaugham.
