Wallpaper removal in Brighton

Professional wallpaper stripping and wall preparation across Brighton and Hove. Old wallpaper removed cleanly, walls filled, sanded and ready to paint or re-paper — single rooms to whole properties.

What we cover

End-to-end wallpaper removal and wall prep — from stripping right through to paint-ready surfaces.

Wallpaper stripping

All types of wallpaper removed including vinyl, painted, woodchip and multiple overlapping layers common in older Brighton properties.

  • Steam stripping for stubborn layers
  • Chemical removal for delicate plaster
  • Multi-layer removal and assessment

Wall preparation

After stripping, walls are assessed and prepared properly — filling cracks, holes and blemishes left by old adhesive so the surface is ready for the next finish.

  • Hole and crack filling
  • Skim sanding and smoothing
  • Sizing before painting or papering

Combined with painting

Wallpaper removal can be combined with interior painting — stripping, prep and painting all in one booking so you are not managing two separate tradespeople.

  • Strip, prep and paint in one job
  • Single visit or phased approach
  • Combine with other handyman work

Woodchip and textured coverings

Woodchip removal is a popular request in Brighton's older housing stock. Thorough removal and prep makes a significant difference to the final painted finish.

  • Woodchip stripping and replastering prep
  • Textured covering removal
  • Ceiling and coving areas

Rental and landlord properties

Void periods, end-of-tenancy refreshes and between-let renovation — wallpaper removal and wall prep handled efficiently to get properties back on the market quickly.

  • Efficient turnaround for voids
  • Whole-property or room-by-room
  • Combine with painting and repairs

Mess and protection

Floors and furniture protected throughout. Wet wallpaper stripped carefully to minimise mess and avoid unnecessary damage to plaster or skirting boards.

  • Floor and furniture covered
  • Careful work around architraves
  • Clean-up included

Frequently asked

Common questions about wallpaper removal in Brighton.

How much does wallpaper removal cost in Brighton?

Pricing depends on room size, number of walls and number of layers. Send photos and approximate measurements for a fast, no-obligation quote.

Do you prepare walls for painting after stripping?

Yes. Wall prep — filling, skim-sanding and sizing — can be included so walls are ready to paint straight after.

Can you remove multiple layers of old wallpaper?

Yes. Older Brighton properties often have several layers. We assess the wall type and use the right method — steam, chemical or dry — for a clean result.

Do you remove wallpaper from ceilings?

Yes. Ceiling and coving areas are covered. Mention this when enquiring so we can factor it into the quote.

Can you strip wallpaper and then paint in one job?

Yes. Combining both saves time and means you only need to arrange one visit rather than coordinating two separate jobs.

Do you cover Hove and Portslade?

Yes. Wallpaper removal is available across Brighton, Hove and Portslade. Other nearby areas are considered — ask when you get in touch.
