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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
