Dad, a professional decorator, always advised starting in the middle and working outwards, that way you always got the paper even both sides. If one is using a pattern paper, always buy more rolls then needed, as the pattern will need to match. They should match in their dye numbers just like fabric or wool.

You wanna try getting woodchip off that's been glossed and multiple layers underneath that! Craig is very talented but I'm afraid that hurt me watching him this time.
If you have any wallpaper to strip the golden rule is let the water do the work. If you brush water over the paper. Once will never be enough so keep going over it every few minutes. You'll then find the paper will almost fall off. Also if applying any water to walls make sure to turn the electrics off to the sockets. Also if your only doing 1 wall then you cut to each corner tight but if doing a full room then add 6mm on each corner so the next sheet covers it up. Depending on the paper each corner you cover will need a stronger paste ie border adhesive etc
Also when hanging paper you mostly start at the furthest corner from as you walk in a room. And also the joints of the paper are easily hidden more depending which way you go around the room. Hope I've helped some 😀
The videos i've been watching say you should soak the lining paper with the paste for the manufacturers recommended time or for roughly 10 minutes then lay the paper horizontally across the wall, if you put the paper on straight away without letting it soak the paper will continue to expand while stuck to the wall and you'll get bubbles behind the paper. If you intend to put the paper on vertically you should put the first sheet in the middle of the wall while using a plumbline or other leveling device to make sure it's straight otherwise if the first paper is not straight then the rest of the sheets will end up lopsided and the error magnified.
that accent tells me you are a professional.
Excellent video, thanks
This is great, good advice. I managed to get our spare room looking good
Other master paperer's say to run it horizontally if you intend to wallpaper it. That way no seams will show of the liner if there is any separation of the wallpaper seams later on.
Love this guy, hes the go to guy got everything
Good man, thanks for this
No problem!
You just saved me a week 👍
I find the steamer cracks the plaster underneath, you can practically hear it pop; i always remove the steamer pad and just use steam out of the hose that way the steam is not concentrated on one spot. Thanks for taking your time to make the video.
I'll give 'The Craig' a tip on stripping. Use the long razor scraper like on here because they are better full stop. Take a knife or edge of the razor scraper, lightly score the paper in a criss cross fashion. Take your sponge & water, wipe it over the scored area. Obviously it will soak in better, go over with water once more. Then if you don't have a steamer you can use an adjustable setting heat gun on a reasonable setting over the wet area & scrape it off easier. It has to be fairly wet otherwise you will just dry it back out. And the gun not too hot or it will scorch the paper. It essentially, briefly steams the water that has soaked through lifting it off in much the same way as a steamer.
.. Another way is to use an old clothes iron (well I wouldn't use a new one) & steam the area with it, or indeed one of them steam cleaners.
started decorating a woodchip wall! now know it's possible to do cheers buddy!
I have strip my wall paper now what i have to do first sanding? And then line a paper or if i don’t want to put line paper is that make any difference ?
I was always told to put lining paper on horizontally
Good
Is it best to hang the lining paper vertically or horizontally? I've seen videos on both but not sure which would be best. I will be doing this on my own so any help would be appreciated. By the way the lining paper is 30 cm width ways which seems to be wider than the wallpapers that I've seen. Again any help, advice tips or hints would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
if painting over, vertical is fine, if papering over horizontal is best, only down side you would need two step ladders and a plank for the first two or three lengths depending on wall height.
Nice one Craig!
Wouldn't it be easier and more accurate to use a Stanley knife to trim the excess paper?
I’d let the paper soak for a least 5 mins to expand before hanging on the wall
LOL I remember this dude.
No plum line?? , and I would leave too soak 5 - 10 mins
no plum line DOH !!
why wouldn't you use a pocket knife or something to cut the wallpaper when theres excess on the wall
I was thinking this non-stop throughout the video, looks like way too much hassle using scissors
Cos you can cut through into the wall.
If you are unlucky, the paper will tear and ruin the sheet.
Been in the building game for 33 years and Silverline are the worst tools I have ever used!
Theyre also some of the cheapest and usually do the job, so you get what you pay for
Great video thanks Craig. I would get it skimmed and paint it though. Never understood why people use wallpaper, looks awful and retro, which imo are the same thing lol
You can always paint over the lining paper instead of getting a plasterer to plaster the walls.
Cheaper & easier for a DIYer.
@@LolLol-pq5fp which is what everyone has done since my house was built in 1980. now im taking it back to the plaster board and starting again, properly this time
If we bodge the vertical joint between the papers and it is a little gappy can we use caulk?
I wouldn't advise caulk. Use a lightweight, easy sand filler.
Craig get back in your cupboard 😂😂
Craig how do you put lining paper on a celling 🤔 thanks
Another tip is to caulk around the ceiling, down the corners and alone the skirting and let dry, that way when you blade knife the paper to size it doesn’t tear, it glides through the caulk and you get a perfect cut :)
Wait a week?..
Sorry accidentally disliked! But corrected to a like! Thanks for this informative video!
Phew! thanks for the like! Why not dislike... sorry! like our other videos
What about when walls just painted. Can’t fill those flaked off paint bits. Filler won’t adhere to 1mm gaps. Noticed his wall was only papered 😂😂
Waiting a lot
Zaddy u damn fine ☺️
LOOOOL
Silly Billy
Never seal with PVA, thats what i always hear
Thanks for the tip
Just overboard it
O
That mask's not enough. I sanded walls 4 days ago and my lungs are still suffering. Invest in a proper face mask if you're sanding walls..
definitely not a decorator!!,
ewwww, Not vertical !!
Is this some sort of joke
Get an experienced tradesman not an actor to promote your products
He was an experienced builder before BB
Actor? 😂
