How to hire a wallpaper installation pro in United Arab Emirates
- Use a licensed maintenance/decor company; freelancers dominate the low end with variable quality
- Confirm wall prep on painted gypsum walls (sanding gloss, priming) is included
- Check adhesive quality — AC-cooled rooms with hot external walls stress cheap pastes
- Get a written VAT quote per roll or per wall
- For towers and communities, confirm any building NOC for works and deliveries
- Ask for photos of seam work on similar papers
Frequently asked questions
How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?
Measure wall width and height, then let the installer confirm — pattern repeat is the trap. A large repeat can add 15-25% waste, and you should order all rolls from one batch number to avoid shade differences. Always order one spare roll for future repairs.
Is paste-the-wall wallpaper easier than traditional?
Yes — paste-the-wall (non-woven) papers skip soak time, hang faster and strip dry in full sheets later. Most modern papers use this backing. Traditional paste-the-paper and delicate materials like grasscloth still reward a professional hand.
How much does wallpaper removal cost?
Stripping is typically priced per room or per hour and depends entirely on what's underneath: modern non-woven papers peel off dry in minutes, while old glued layers over unsized walls can take a full day per room with steamers and leave repairs behind.
Does the wall need preparation before wallpapering?
Yes, and prep is most of the outcome. Walls need to be smooth, clean, primed/sized, and uniform in colour (dark patches ghost through pale papers). Fresh plaster must fully dry and be sized first. Ask whether prep, lining paper, and primer are in the quote.
Can you wallpaper over old wallpaper or painted walls?
Painted walls, yes, after cleaning and priming. Papering over old wallpaper is a false economy — trapped seams telegraph through and moisture can lift both layers. Strip first; installers quote removal as a separate line.
What does wallpaper installation cost in the UAE?
Labour typically runs AED 25-60 per roll for standard papers, with supply-and-fix packages common in Dubai from AED 150-350 per roll including mid-range paper. Villa feature walls with mural papers are quoted per design.
