Wallpaper Hanging
Wallpaper Hanging Specialists in Essex
If you’re looking for expert wallpaper hanging in Essex, HarriDec Ltd delivers a level of precision and craftsmanship that few can match. Based in Ongar near Brentwood, our decorators have extensive experience installing all types of wallcoverings — from hand- printed heritage papers and delicate silks to wide vinyls and modern digital murals. We work across both residential and commercial properties, always ensuring a flawless finish that enhances the interior character of each space.
Expert Installation for Every Type of Wallcovering
Wallpaper hanging is as much an art as a trade. Every wallpaper behaves differently and must be handled with care. At HarriDec, we follow manufacturer-specific methods for each wallcovering to achieve perfect, durable results. Some require paste-the-wall techniques, others demand pasting the paper and precise soaking times — and our decorators are trained to understand and execute these distinctions to perfection.
We are skilled in applying:
- Traditional hand-blocked wallpapers for period and listed interiors
- Textile, silk, and flock wallcoverings for luxurious feature walls
- Muraspec and wide-vinyl commercial wallcoverings
- Digitally printed murals and bespoke designer prints
- Natural wallcoverings such as grasscloth, linen, and bamboo
Our decorators use top-of-the-range Japanese Olfa cutting tools, ensuring razor-sharp accuracy for clean, invisible seams. Whether working on a Georgian drawing room or a contemporary boardroom, we take the same meticulous approach to surface preparation, alignment, and finishing.
Heritage and Listed Building Expertise
As members of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), we have a deep understanding of heritage materials and techniques. Many older properties in Essex have uneven walls, lime plaster, or historic substrates that require special preparation before wallpapering.
We take great care to:
- Assess and repair wall surfaces using breathable, compatible materials
- Stabilise old plaster without sealing it with non-permeable primers
- Choose breathable adhesives suitable for lime-based substrate
- Respect the original fabric of the building while achieving a crisp, clean result
Our experience with historic interiors means we can restore period features with sensitivity while still offering the design freedom of modern wallpapering. Whether you’re recreating a Victorian parlour, updating a Georgian hallway, or adding texture to a listed property, we ensure every decision is sympathetic to the building’s character.
Preparation and Aftercare
A long-lasting wallpaper installation begins with meticulous preparation. We never wallpaper over unsound surfaces — instead, we take time to fill, sand, and seal appropriately, creating the perfect base for a flawless finish. We also handle removal of
existing wallpaper and can advise on aftercare, ensuring your new walls remain immaculate for years to come.
We only use trusted professional-grade materials, combining traditional craftsmanship with the best of modern innovation. Our work is clean, efficient, and carried out with minimal disruption to your household or business operations.
Transform Your Space
Wallpaper can completely transform a room — whether you’re after a bold statement wall, timeless elegance, or a historically accurate reproduction pattern. At HarriDec, our goal is to make that transformation seamless. From helping you select the right paper to delivering a beautifully finished result, we take care of every detail.
