[@AC_Milan1899]

Some great tips.

[@EnginEshref]

Thanks so much for these three fantastic videos on the A to Z of hanging wallpaper, well described and also really helpful watching you demonstrate how to do it. I was able to successfully wallpaper my bedroom (my first ever time) because of the clear and accurate instructions in your videos. Many thanks!

[@lights597]

Thanks u helped me

Thanks guys

[@AC_Milan1899]

I used to wonder why my wallpaper guy would have a break after pasting every piece. Thought he was a lazy sod. Now I stand corrected.

[@clintonstokes1594]

Haha thats the best I like his style

[@naziruddin7603]

i love this video it helps me out a lot thank you B&Q

[@SuziVlogs]

It's a really good video series. I may still save up and hire someone as I think I'd mess it up so e how 😂 the guys seem friendly and explain everything really well though

[@jotacabrero]

I really liked the video, congratulations, I apply wallpaper here in Brazil, we use some different techniques, but the end result is the same. Since it's good to learn new installation methods, I'm sure I'll save some time with some tips I've learned from you.

cool

[@lazylad8544]

Isolate the electricity and take sockets and switches completely off. It makes for a more professional job👍👍

[@bandq]

This is a good tip 😊

Very helpful I’ve managed to hang my 80s wallpaper with my mate little Lol

[@dellgladue5611]

80's wallpaper might have asbestos and how could you tell is my question

[@Leoturner2009]

@@dellgladue5611 yes i did wonder that… We did have the same paper in our living room in 88 and the house had the asbestos removal and they checked the paper and said it was fire

awesome am taking note, as I am doing my hall way atm

Awesome videos,

Thank you. Easy to follow how to do it video. Can't fathom why anyone could dislike.

[@maryferguson6226]

@@bandq I am wallpapering a little motorhome with a sloping back wall which makes wallpapering the left and right -hand corners tricky for me. The lower measurement is 48.5 cm starting above the seating frame and widens to 49.5 over a span of 5cm, tapering to 8.5 cm at the top and edged by very large windows with curved corners ( I removed the aluminium frames). It is wall paste wallpaper and I found I couldn't cut to shape and ripped of the first sheet I tried to hang. In the end I made a template because the cabinets across the back were lower than the side cabinets that have curved capping. Luckily the top of the window frame almost reaches the bottom of the cabinets so I just need straight edged strips with very narrow dowel trim to finish. I will be finished tomorrow and so far looking good. It's been forty years since I wallpapered a room and your video would have been very helpful way back then.

[@peternufc1981]

What about the ceiling? It's so tricky

[@dipsgaming7996]

Can I stick on the bamboo wall Partation?

[@bandq]

I would suggest checking the instructions on the adhesive you purchase 😊

[@poppykate3036]

Would you not cut it before pasting it?

[@salsachris5678]

the paste softens the paper and holds it flat instead of it having a life of its own in the rolled up position , we used to roll the piece up the opposite way and slightly press it down to flatten the rolled piece .

[@shirley-annmills5349]

Can someone please tell me how you wallpaper above a toilet? My ladders dont fit as the window wall is 6 inches away from the left side of my toilet and the sink is 6.5 inches on the right side of my toilet (facing towards it). Also, you cant stand on the toilet cistern as its plastic and more than 20yrs old. I cant find anything on the internet that shows / tells you how to safely carry out this task. Thanks

[@salsachris5678]

sorry there is no good answer to this other than scaffolding out a platform (not practical ) or use one section of ladder or a big pair of steps closed up and lean against the wall over the sink and work to the side , you will have to get someone to foot the ladder , and tape some protection to the top of the ladder as not to damage the wall / paper

[@teamofsteve]

Order the spiciest curry from the local takeaway, you’ll have the wall covered in no time.

[@ajmalkatawazi5145]

Hey Guys

[@lewisfirth6502]

Eee it were bloody grand wallpapperin after listenin t posh bloke n watchin th'old lad.

[@thunderwoodunderwood4807]

Shirley it's "pepperin", tha knows, i'nt it?

[@gymtraining5985]

when doing electrical sockets you take the faces completely of. never leave them on. however the rest of this introduction to wallpapering seems to be legit and will help lots of people

[@salsachris5678]

why

[@teamofsteve]

The part about the sockets is 100% correct. Why would you remove the sockets completely just to slide a little piece of paper beneath? Too much gym training I think.

[@ParaBellum2024]

The way it's shown in this video, you risk dropping a load of plaster specks behind the paper, which might make annoying bumps in the finish when they stick to the adhesive. Also, given how dangerous mains electricity is, I'm surprised to see B&Q advising people to do this without first isolating the lighting circuit. It takes no longer to isolate the circuit, remove the switch, vacuum out, fit the paper, cut a square hole and refit the switch, than it does to use the method shown in this video. On a related note, the sockets and switches at my daughter's house all have "X"'s cut into them, where some fool must have used a Stanley knife when papering!

[@rdvancoban5230]

this is horrible application of wallpaper.. look at the space at the joint at 07:22, then the patterns no longer match at 03:20 etc.

[@Buildsomestuffs]

3:20 was shocking there was like a whole inch of pattern missing! and yea the gap at 7:22 could definitely have been smaller haha!

[@salsachris5678]

not keen on using a 2 ich offcut it wont hold a straight line over 8 ft

[@princesspieofpiedonia2011]

I just watched the internal corner overlap bit three times to make sure I wasn’t imagining it! Total disregard for the pattern! And I always notice thin strips like that - they inevitably start to peel up and something about the close proximity of the seams draws the eye more than over a full width.

[@ronchambers8397]

Oooops! - (@ 1m 17s) 35mm + 15mm = 50mm by my calculation!

[@jujub428]

These videos are soooo Complicated!!

[@andydxgame23]

How is it complicated???!

[@GrahamDIY]

If you find this complicated how on earth do you cope with life??

[@peterkelly2465]

Yes they are, because they don't know what they are doing

[@LukeStratton94]

It's a socket, not a plug...

[@Jimjon24]

It's a switch lol

[@ffuter]

Dreadful advice. Those corners are terrible.

[@RYTHEMGANGSTAR]

It is yeah. The whole world seem to be treating people like sheep. We are not all sheep lol x

[@ethonox]

Still waiting for your video on inside corners 🤔

[@ffuter]

If I knew how to make and post videos I would. I've been hanging paper for 40 years and I can do it a lot better than that.

I think it was very helpful to me thanks
