Wallpapering and lining paper in London and Essex
Prime Painting and Decorating, based in Woodford Green, hangs wallpaper and lining paper for homes across London and Essex, from stripping the old paper to feature walls and murals: call 07802 332437 for a free estimate.
Wallpaper is on our list alongside the painting: whole rooms, feature walls and lining paper, and quality wall coverings. Many of our wallpapering jobs include painting the walls and woodwork too, so the room is finished in one go.
Stripping and preparing the walls
New paper only looks as good as the wall underneath. We strip the old wallpaper and get the walls ready, including skim plastering where it's needed, before we hang the new paper or paint. One July 2025 review describes exactly that: old paper stripped, walls skimmed, then walls and woodwork painted, over three days.
Feature walls and murals
From a single feature wall in a bedroom or hallway to a complex mural, which we hung for one customer as part of a loft room, stairs and hallway job.
Lining paper
Lining paper is a plain paper hung under paint or wallpaper to give a smoother, more even surface over tired walls. Ask us if it would help your walls.
