Wallpapering is the job where the difference between a professional and a confident amateur is most obvious, and it is all in the details: a true plumb line to start from, seams butted so tightly you cannot find them, and the pattern matching across every drop.
The wall underneath matters as much as it does for paint. Old paper comes off properly rather than getting papered over, the surface is made good, and it is sized so the new paper goes on evenly and comes off cleanly for whoever does it next. Period Kent properties often have walls that are nowhere near plumb, which is exactly when starting from a true line rather than the corner matters.
Corners, chimney breasts, stairwells and cutting neatly around switches and sockets are where papering usually goes wrong, because none of them let you hide a drop that is slightly out. A stairwell is as much about safe access over the stairs as it is about hanging, and it is the one most people abandon halfway. Bring us the wall you have been putting off.
