How to strip wallpaper

Learn how to strip wallpaper and prepare your walls ready for decorating

Spending time stripping away wallpaper may be a boring decorating job, but you’ll be glad you did all that scraping when you see the smooth finish to your walls.

Before you start work make sure you're well prepared. Clear the room of ornaments, pictures, and furniture.  Anything that has to stay should be pushed to the centre of the room and covered with dust sheets.
