Wallpaper hanging


Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend someone to hang wallpaper? I need someone with a lot of experience and meticulous approach due to the room layout. I've contacted a couple of people previously recommended here but they have either refused to come out to give me a rough estimate (I'm just supposed to agree to a day rate without knowing vaguely how many days it will take!) or just failed to communicate.


Recommendations only please - I'm not looking for self recommendations.

Anyone who is 'touting' for business could easily get someone else to 'Recomend' them..


From your original post..

So either way you have no idea if they are reliable.


If the people PM'ing you give a contact number and an address then why not give them a go.

Ask to see any other work they have completed.

Indeed Foxy, but if the recommendation comes from an established forum member it is easier to verify and I always independently verify.


"Why not give them a go?"

Because I prefer not to, thanks. One of the people spamming me is someone with a dubious history - If I didn't already know this independently, and took your advice, I would be putting myself at risk. I appreciate that your advice is well-intentioned, but I've considered my approach here and taken it for a specific reason.

    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
