How to hire a wallpaper installation pro in Hong Kong
- Buy humidity-resistant paper — Hong Kong's damp season (回南天) is brutal on cheap papers and paste
- Most HK shops bundle paper with installation; confirm what labour-only costs if you have your own paper
- Insist walls are treated for damp or efflorescence before hanging
- Get a per-roll or per-sq-ft written quotation
- Confirm building management registration if works involve deliveries and materials
- Check reviews on Toby or supplier ratings
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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 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.
Can wallpaper go in bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, with the right product — vinyl and washable papers handle humidity, and some installers seal edges with clear varnish in splash zones. Avoid delicate uncoated papers near cookers and showers. Good extraction/ventilation matters more than the paper choice.
How long does wallpapering a room take?
A single feature wall is usually half a day; a full average room takes 1-2 days including prep. Add time for stripping old paper (half to a full day per room), wall repairs, and drying between prep coats.
Will wallpaper peel during Hong Kong's damp season?
On well-primed interior walls with quality paste, no. The risk is external-facing and bathroom-adjacent walls where 回南天 condensation soaks in — seal those with moisture-resistant primer or choose washable vinyl papers there.
