Enzyme Removers
Enzymes digest starch and cellulose pastes. They are gentle on gypsum and low in odour. They need a little time to work.

Chemical Treatment for Wallpaper Removal in Dubai
Some paste sets hard enough that water and steam struggle, especially old cellulose or heavy-duty vinyl adhesives. Wallpaper adhesive softeners and enzyme removers break the paste down chemically, so the paper lets go with gentle scraping. We use low-odour products and ventilate the room.

Gentle Chemistry, Less Scraping
The aim of a treatment is to do the hard work so the scraper does not have to. Less scraping means fewer gouges in the gypsum and less repair before painting.
Every product leaves some residue, so walls are always rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry before priming.
For steam methods, see steam stripping. For self-adhesive papers, see peel-and-stick removal, and for new paper, wallpaper installation.

Wallpaper Removal Treatments We Use
Surfactant Softeners
Wetting agents help water soak through paper. They speed up soaking on porous papers. They are mixed with warm water.
Gel Removers
Thick gels cling to walls without running. They suit ceilings and high walls. They hold moisture against the paste longer.
Residue Cleaners
Used after the paper is off to dissolve leftover paste. The wall is then rinsed. Paint sticks properly afterwards.

Chemical Treatment: FAQs
Does Wallpaper Removal Damage Walls?
It can if paper was hung without primer or is ripped off dry. We score, soften and lift paper gently and repair any torn surface, so the wall ends up smooth.
How Much Does Wallpaper Removal Cost in Dubai?
Wallpaper removal starts from AED 15 per square metre for easy papers and from AED 25 per square metre for vinyl, fabric or painted-over paper. Wall repairs and priming are quoted after the paper is off. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Can You Repair the Drywall After Wallpaper Removal?
Yes. Torn paper facing is sealed, gouges and holes are filled and the wall is skimmed and sanded where needed, so it is ready for paint or new wallpaper.
Do You Offer a Combined Price for Removal and Painting?
Yes. When removal, wall repair and painting are booked together, the total is lower than booking each separately, because the team, protection and access are shared.
