Wallpaper Installation & Fixing Services in Dubai

It depends on the wallpaper type, the adhesive used, and how well the room is ventilated -- standard paper hung in a consistently humid bathroom or kitchen tends to lift at the seams well before it would in a dry living room. Using a moisture-resistant vinyl or washable wallpaper with the correct adhesive, and making sure the wall is properly dried and primed before installation, meaningfully extends how long it holds in these rooms.

The wall needs prepping first. Glossy or flaking paint doesn't let adhesive bond properly, which is one of the main reasons wallpaper lifts at the edges soon after installation. We sand glossy surfaces to give the adhesive something to grip, fill any cracks or holes, and apply a primer or lining paper where the wall condition calls for it, before hanging the paper.

We assess the wallpaper and adhesive type on site, since different papers and glues respond differently to steam, scoring, or stripping solution. The paper is loosened and removed in sections, adhesive residue is cleaned off, and any damage to the plaster or gypsum board underneath -- gouges, damp staining, or old holes -- is filled and sanded before new wallpaper or paint goes on.

Feature wallpaper offers a wider range of prints, patterns, and metallic or fabric-look finishes than paint can replicate, and it can make a strong visual statement with a single wall. It's less forgiving of wall imperfections and takes more effort to remove or change later than a textured paint finish, which is more resistant to scuffs and simpler to touch up. We can advise on which suits your wall condition and design goal during the site survey.

Yes, wallpaper can be installed on ceilings, including gypsum false ceilings, though ceiling work requires more careful surface preparation since gypsum board joints and seams need to be filled and sanded flush before the paper is hung, or the joints will show through the paper.

We can supply wallpaper as part of the job, or install wallpaper you've already purchased -- either way works. If you're supplying your own paper, we recommend confirming the roll quantity and pattern repeat with us in advance so there's enough material to match the wall and any pattern alignment across seams.

Cost depends on the wallpaper material, the wall area and height, the condition of the existing surface, and how much preparation or removal is needed before installation -- a single feature wall and a full villa re-paper aren't priced the same way. We provide a fixed quote after a free on-site survey, so you know the exact scope and cost before work begins.

If wallpaper we've installed lifts or bubbles, it's usually isolated to a seam or corner and can be re-adhered without replacing the whole panel. We also offer after-sales support and AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) packages for clients who want ongoing upkeep of wallpapered spaces, rather than a one-off call-out each time an edge needs attention.
