"First of all ascertain the wallpaper type (vinyl, anaglypta, polystyrene backed,lining paper) is to be removed (this dictates the removal method (steaming, dry removal, or by liberal application of water). Then discover the type of wall upon which the paper has been applied (Plaster, Plasterboard, concrete, wood).
As this could be classed as a low skilled job (approx £10 per hour) i would think it should take two days."

"It depends on the sizes of the area. Generally around £75 an hour and it takes about an hour to strip a wall 6m x 2m. It will also depend on the underlying wall i.e. plasterboard or plaster, rough or smooth."
