Wallpaper Removal & Installation in Newcastle NE13

This wallpaper installation in Newcastle NE13 started with removing the old wall covering and checking the surface underneath. We then prepared the wall before fitting a new textured wallpaper across the main feature wall.

Removing the old wallpaper first gave us a clean base to work from. As a result, we could prepare the surface properly and achieve a neater, more even finish.

Removing the Existing Wallpaper

First, we removed the old wallpaper from the feature wall and exposed the surface underneath.

This step matters because the wall condition can affect both adhesion and the final appearance. We checked the surface carefully before moving on to preparation.

Preparing the Wall for Wallpaper Installation

Next, we prepared the exposed wall for the new covering. We focused on creating a sound, clean base instead of simply papering over the old finish. This preparation helped the new wallpaper sit smoothly and look cleaner once finished. For related advice, see our guide to preparing walls before decorating. If a wall needs a more uniform base before painting, our guide to using lining paper before painting explains when that approach may be suitable.

We then installed the new wallpaper across the long feature wall. We worked carefully around the fireplace, sockets and other wall details to keep the finish neat and consistent.

The customer chose a modern textured design with soft grey and silver tones, plus subtle warm metallic highlights. The new finish complements the white fireplace, light ceiling and existing flooring. It also gives the room a fresher, more contemporary look.
