Hello Daniel. Here is a simple breakdown for painting your hall, stairs, and landing. The Job: A decorator will scrape, fill, and sand any problem areas. They will then paint the walls and ceilings, using special ladders to safely reach the high parts above the stairs. Time: Usually 2 to 4 days. Next Step: Get 2 or 3 local decorators to visit and give you a fixed quote.

This project involves two main challenges: safely accessing high areas (ceiling and stairwell walls) and preparing the scraped areas for a smooth, uniform paint finish.

The best way to remove wallpaper is to do it properly and patiently, as rushing this stage often causes surface damage. A professional method is: • Score the wallpaper lightly using a wallpaper scorer (do not press too hard) • Apply warm water or a wallpaper stripping solution and allow it to soak in properly • Gently scrape off the wallpaper using a wide scraper • Repeat where necessary — stubborn areas may need a second soak Once the wallpaper is fully removed: • Wash the walls with sugar soap to remove adhesive residue • Rinse with clean water and allow the walls to dry completely • Lightly sand to remove raised edges or imperfections • Fill any damage with a suitable filler and sand smooth • Apply a mist coat if the surface is bare plaster, or a suitable primer if required Proper preparation after wallpaper removal is essential to achieve a smooth, long-lasting painted finish.
