Bespoke & Designer Wallcovering Installation in West Grinstead

We work with homeowners right across West Grinstead and the wider West Sussex area, and we also cover nearby places such as Upper Wellingham and Turners Hill.

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.

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.

Before anything goes on the wall we plan the pattern layout, working out how the repeats fall so joins and bold designs align correctly across the room. This planning minimises wasted material and is the difference between a large-repeat or feature pattern that flows properly and one that jars at every seam. We never simply start hanging and hope the pattern works out.

Alongside West Grinstead, homeowners in surrounding West Sussex areas such as Tilgate and Tilgate Forest Row rely on us for the same careful, tidy approach.
