Based on a standard 20m² room, costs may increase if wallpaper is layered or if walls require extensive preparation after removal.

Common questions  Stainesai
The cost is influenced by the size of the room, the number of wallpaper layers, and the condition of the walls underneath.
For a standard 20m² room, wallpaper removal typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of the job.
The process includes scoring the wallpaper, applying steam or warm water, stripping the paper, removing adhesive residue, and preparing the wall for new treatment.
It's recommended to allow the walls to dry completely and ensure they are smooth and clean before painting. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
