Useful briefs include room photographs, colour notes and access notes. Materials routes should be stated early.
When wallpaper work is separate from paint in Wandsworth Town
Wallpaper strip-out and hanging in Wandsworth Town are itemised packages — not free extras inside a simple “paint the room” line for victorian terraces.
Photographs of bubbling, multi-layer paper and damp staining help decide whether lining paper is needed before colour or a new paper hang.
On period walls in Wandsworth Town, aggressive strip-out can damage plaster. We prefer staged preparation written into the method rather than force-stripping without a written price basis.
