Our Wallpaper Removal Process – Step by Step

  • Step 1 Initial Consultation & Wall Assessment

    We visit your Newtown property to assess the wallpaper type, wall material, and adhesive used. Not all wallpaper is created equal—trust us, we've seen it all.
  • Step 2 Preparation & Protection

    Furniture is moved or covered, floors are protected, and outlet covers are removed. We mask off trims and skirting to keep everything clean and splash-free.
  • Step 3 Wallpaper Removal

    Using steamers, scoring tools, or eco-friendly solvents, we gently lift wallpaper without damaging the plaster underneath. Patience is key—no gouging allowed.
  • Step 4 Adhesive Residue Removal

    We thoroughly clean the walls to remove all glue residue, which can interfere with paint adhesion. Sometimes it takes a few passes—worth it for the final finish.
  • Step 5 Wall Repairs & Smoothing

    Any dents, holes, or uneven areas are repaired. We then sand the surface smooth and apply a sealer or primer if painting is next on your list.
  • Step 6 Final Inspection & Optional Painting

    We walk through the finished result with you. If you’ve booked a paint job as well, we get started on that right after. Fresh walls—finally.
