Wallpapering & Feature Walls in Dorking

Wallpapering is the preparation of a wall surface and the hanging of wallpaper — from a single patterned feature wall to a fully papered room — with pattern alignment, trimming and finishing carried out to a professional standard that's harder to achieve with DIY hanging, particularly for large-pattern or textured papers.

In Dorking, that covers Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth. Dorking is a historic market town at the foot of Box Hill and the North Downs, within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, with a well-preserved High Street and a range of period and character properties in the surrounding villages.

The town and surrounding villages have a strong stock of period cottages, Victorian villas and larger detached houses, with barn and outbuilding conversion opportunities more common in the surrounding rural parts of the district.

Planning considerations

Mole Valley District Council is the local planning authority. Much of the area around Dorking falls within the Surrey Hills National Landscape (National Landscape, formerly AONB), and the town centre is a conservation area, both of which affect design approach and materials for extensions and conversions.

How much wallpaper will I need for a feature wall?

This depends on the wall's dimensions and the paper's pattern repeat and roll width — we can confirm the number of rolls once we've measured, so you order the right amount with a small margin for mistakes.
