Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper Removal in Dubai
Peel-and-stick wallpaper is sold as easy to remove, but in Dubai heat the adhesive often bonds to the paint and pulls it off in strips. We lift self-adhesive wallpaper and decals slowly, using gentle warmth and a low angle, then clean any residue and touch up the paint.

Process
How We Remove Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
- Step 1
Warm the Adhesive
A heat gun on low or a hairdryer softens the glue.
- Step 2
Peel Low and Slow
Paper is pulled back on itself close to the wall.
- Step 3
Clean Residue
Remaining adhesive is cleaned with a paint-safe product.
- Step 4
Touch Up
Any lifted paint is filled and touched up.
Self-Adhesive Paper in a Hot Climate
Self-adhesive papers bond harder over time in warm rooms. The longer they stay up, the more likely they are to take paint with them.
For rentals, we can repaint the wall in the original colour so it passes the move-out check.
For other paper types, see complete wallpaper removal. For residue, see adhesive residue cleaning, and for new paper, wallpaper installation.
Move-Out
We repaint in the original colour for handover.
Go Slow
Fast peeling is what pulls paint off.

Peel-and-Stick Removal: FAQs
Can You Restore a Rented Apartment Wall After Removing Wallpaper?
Yes. We remove the paper, repair the wall and repaint it in the original colour so it is ready for the move-out inspection.
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.
How Long Does Wallpaper Removal Take?
One feature wall usually takes a few hours. A full room takes about a day, plus drying time before painting or new paper.
