What this trade covers
This trade belongs to finishes: what gives a room its final look. The result depends as much on preparing the surface as on the product applied.
What to check on the quote
Two quotes only compare when they cover the same thing. These points often separate a complete offer from one that ends in extras.
Surface preparation
Levelling, skimming, sanding, primer: preparation is a full item on the quote.
A named product
Brand, range, format or colour: with a named product, two quotes compare.
Protection and cleaning
Protecting floors and furniture, cleaning at the end: included or not?
The company number
The quote shows the company's CBE number. Check it on the public search of the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises before you sign.
VAT, deposit and validity
The quote states the VAT rate applied, any deposit and how long the price is guaranteed.
VAT
In a private home more than ten years old, most works invoiced by the contractor go down to 6% VAT instead of 21%. The invoice must carry the statement required for the reduced rate.
Wallpaper: choose your city
Each city page shows the registered pros whose address is in the area, and the regional renovation support.

Frequently asked questions
Wallpaper: what budget should you plan in 2026?
The price depends on the job, the materials and the access. Describe your project and compare several written quotes: it is free for homeowners.
Buying the materials yourself, a good idea?
Rarely. The professional answers for the result with the product they chose, and what you buy in a shop stays at 21% VAT.
Which VAT rate applies?
In a private home more than ten years old, most works invoiced by the contractor go down to 6% VAT instead of 21%. The invoice must carry the statement required for the reduced rate.
How do you check a contractor before signing?
Check their company number at the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, ask for a detailed written quote with VAT, and read the reviews. On Batizzy, the "CBE verified" badge marks pros who had their number checked, and a review is only possible after a real job.
How do you get quotes you can compare?
Describe your project once on Batizzy, with a few photos. Pros see the jobs in their area first and send you their quote, which you compare side by side. It is free for homeowners, and Batizzy takes no commission on the works.
