Lining, sizing, flatness checks, and planning pattern placement before the first drop. Preparation is specified in writing so Camden Town clients know exactly what is included before work starts.

Hanging expensive papers onto unlined, uneven, or poorly prepared walls. A written specification after survey is the best way to avoid that outcome on Georgian terraces and Victorian houses.
Yes, and in NW3 that is most of the work. We stabilise friable or powdery areas, fill and sand, and seal porous plaster so it cannot draw the water out of the adhesive before the paper grabs. The wall is then cross-lined with 1400-grade lining paper hung horizontally, so no lining seam sits beneath a decorative one and the finished paper meets a single, uniformly absorbent surface rather than a patchwork of old repairs. Foil-backed and silk papers are lined in 1700-grade instead, because they show every ridge underneath them. For Camden Town (NW1) properties such as Georgian terraces and Victorian houses, we adapt the same principles to local building fabric and access.
Papers with large pattern repeats, such as a 53cm half-drop, typically generate 15 to 25 percent waste, and the taller the wall the worse it gets: a period reception room with high ceilings loses more of a big repeat than a flat with standard ones. We measure the room, calculate the drops against the repeat before you order, and confirm the roll count in writing. The hanging plan then places the surplus above doors and below the picture rail rather than in the bin. For Camden Town (NW1) properties such as Georgian terraces and Victorian houses, we adapt the same principles to local building fabric and access.
We regularly hang high-value designer papers — de Gournay hand-painted panels, Cole & Son, Zoffany, Morris & Co and Osborne & Little. The handling is what differs. Hand-printed and silk papers are pasted to the wall rather than to the paper wherever the manufacturer allows it, kept dry-edged, and never stretched to close a gap, because a stretched drop shrinks back as it dries and reopens the very seam you were trying to close. Where paste-the-paper is specified we book each drop on a pasting table for the stated soak time, so every drop expands by the same amount before it goes on the wall. For Camden Town (NW1) properties such as Georgian terraces and Victorian houses, we adapt the same principles to local building fabric and access.
