Wallpaper Installation in Cullinan

Installers price per roll, per square metre, or per day. Labour usually lands between half and the full cost of the paper itself — and premium papers (grasscloth, murals, wide-width vinyls) cost more to hang because mistakes are expensive. Removal of old paper is always quoted separately.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Labour typically runs R150-350 per roll or R80-150 per square metre. A feature wall lands around R1,500-3,500 including mid-range local paper; imported designer papers push totals up fast.
