Question

How long does it take to strip wallpaper? Never done it before

Chris · Answer

There are so many variables so it's difficult to say really. I would advise that you try just using warm soapy water and a good sharp stripping knife, don't go at it with a filling knife like lots of people try to do, it will take you ages.
Try taking the top layer off the wall dry before using the soapy water, then soak the backing paper, leave for a little while and it may just peel straight off.

heloo I want to tell you that it depends on what kind of wallpaper it is but there are steam machines and special solutions for removing wallpaper in some cases it can be removed in a short time in other cases it can be removed more difficult as I said it depends on what material the wallpaper is made of

Hi Patrick,
The time it takes to strip wallpaper from one room can vary based on several factors, including the size of the room, the type of wallpaper, and your experience level. On average, it might take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours for a standard-sized room. If the wallpaper is particularly stubborn or if there are multiple layers, it could take longer. If you're doing it for the first time, you might want to allocate extra time just in case.
We are happy to help witb this job.

To strip wallpaper neatly, you can use a hot gun blower by simply switching it on and taking it close to the area of the wall. 
Move your hand meticulously about and around the area, heating it with the hot gun. Afterwards, pinch an end of the paper and rip it off. 
Spray sugar soap solution on areas that may not have been neatly stripped and clean it off with a plastic scrapper.
