Question

Will it save me money to prepare the walls ready for papering myself

Martin · Answer

Hi , it may save you money if the prep is done correctly and the surface is prepared well, however if not it may cost you more in the long run as you may need a professional in to correct it.

David · Answer

Well the simple answer is yes it will save you money as the tradesperson will need less time on the job. Pretty much every imperfection or indentation on the wall will show through once the paper is hung so if you are confident in your abilities then have at it, if not then maybe get a professional to do it.
