Making wallpaper: The professional wallpaper maker is also known as an upholsterer or domino maker, who practices the art of domino making. There is no specific training in the manufacture of wallpaper (art or otherwise...). The trade is learned through contact with the activity, in the workshops that have the tools and know-how. The initial training is therefore conditioned by entry into one of these workshops or production units. Original wallpaper, graphic or design wallpaper, modern wallpaper, decorative wallpaper, imitation wood, velvet, metallic, brick or coated wallpaper, embossed wallpaper, self-adhesive or not, baroque wallpaper, textile or acrylic wallpaper, waterproof or not, washable or not, children's wallpaper, everything can be manufactured, the important thing is to dress your walls according to your desires and your lifestyle; you should know that there are even references that allow you to paint on the wallpaper By extension, let's talk about the CAP Arts du tapis et de la tapisserie de lisse, whose holder is entitled to restore carpets or tapestry by interlacing threads using specific tools, but this is not, strictly speaking, work on wallpaper, so we won't say more about it. Wallpapering : Generally, the title of the professional who does wallpapering is "house painter" or "decorative painter". The wallpaperer who is going to wallpaper the planned surfaces uses suitable equipment: adhesive, a cutter (for impeccable connections), a level to check the flatness of the wall sections, paper glue, coating for the undercoat, a stepladder, suitable spatulas, a sponge and all the other necessary tools. This job is accessible from a CAP, or a BEP in the fields mentioned above, with a speciality. As is often the case for this type of work on the building site, training in direct contact with the real world, by way of apprenticeship, is not only appreciated by most companies, but also very often practised. There are various types of wallpaper for creating an atmosphere, each of which requires more or less work: wallpaper frieze, classic wallpaper, padded wallpaper, special kitchen wallpaper, non-woven wallpaper, vinyl, wallpaper, design, photo, panoramic, plain, personalised, adhesive, etc. Without a previous diploma or training, the experience accumulated over time can also compensate for the lack of initial qualification. Nevertheless, it should be noted that obtaining a diploma such as a CAP or BEP can lead more quickly to management or team leader positions. Finally, in the public sector, positions are most often accessible through competitive examinations, under certain conditions of recruitment and also of level of training.

The professional in charge of wallpapering is in charge of laying all types of flexible coverings (this can be wallpaper, carpeting or others...) on walls, floors or ceilings. He is also in charge of preparing the supports, smoothing them when necessary, before using such or such installation technique (by gluing, in tension...) according to the nature of the support, the type of paper and the wall covering chosen (it should be known that the wallpaper can also be personalized in certain cases...). It is important to specify that the wallpaper can be installed as part of a renovation or new construction project.

Some wallpapers are specially designed to be easy to hang, but some require much more complex and technical dexterity, coordination and skill. If you want to be sure of a perfect installation and a smooth result in all cases, then the know-how of a professional will be necessary. This will also be the case if the surface to be covered has irregularities or imperfections that need to be corrected or concealed beforehand. Generally speaking, wallpapering according to the rules of the trade guarantees peace of mind for at least fifteen years, if not more.

People who hire a wallpaperer do so for two main reasons: - some simply don't have the time for it, due to an overloaded schedule. - Others simply don't feel up to the task and fear that the final result will not be up to scratch. The advantage with a professional is that he or she can come and work on your home directly, while you are at work or away, which is a significant time-saver and often weighs in the balance.

Finding a wallpaper fitter in Tauranga can be done simply by asking around, as we know how word of mouth works when it comes to crafts and building work. But it is also possible to use the Internet, by consulting a site such as StarOfService, for example, which lists all the professionals in a given field, depending on where you are looking! With just a few clicks, the site even allows you to obtain the contact details of the professional in question and to contact him/her immediately.

Your geographical location can have a relatively large impact on the prices charged, so the price range we will give you is necessarily very wide. In any case, on average, nationwide, the price of wallpaper installation per square metre is between 5-7 Euros and 35-40 Euros including tax. The price of wallpaper, on the other hand, is situated in an average range of 5 Euros to 60 Euros per square metre. In reality, the professional will have to offer you an estimate, in which the details will be shown, and you can certainly use the competition.

Again, word of mouth is a great way to avoid getting it wrong, so ask around your friends, family and acquaintances, they may know of a craftsman or company that offers excellent work, close to where you live. If not, use the Internet and check out some of the professional referral sites like StarOfService.
