Wallpaper Removal in Dubai

Old wallpaper peels at the seams, dates a room or simply is not your style. Pulling it off yourself often tears the wall underneath. We remove vinyl, fabric, textured and peel-and-stick wallpaper cleanly, wash off the adhesive and repair the wall so it is ready for paint or new paper.

02 / Process

How We Remove Wallpaper

  1. 01

    Test the Paper

    We check the paper type, how many layers there are and what is underneath.

  2. 02

    Score and Soften

    Paper is scored and softened with warm water, steam or an adhesive softener.

  3. 03

    Lift and Scrape

    It is lifted with wide scrapers held flat to protect the gypsum.

  4. 04

    Wash and Repair

    Paste residue is washed off and damage repaired.

Clean Walls

Wallpaper off, Walls Ready

Removing wallpaper well is mostly about protecting the wall underneath.

We strip the paper, clean the adhesive and repair the surface.

Why Wallpaper Removal Needs Care

Most Dubai walls are gypsum board or plaster with a paper facing or skim coat. Wallpaper hung without a primer bonds directly to that surface, so tearing it off dry pulls the facing with it.

Leftover paste is the second problem. Paint over residue cracks and peels, and new wallpaper will not stick evenly, so the wall must be washed clean.

For new paper afterwards, see wallpaper installation and hanging. For painting, see interior painting, and for damaged walls, drywall repair.

Wallpaper Removal in Dubai: FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
