Wall finishes carry the character of a room, and a lifting seam or a misaligned pattern is visible from across the space every single day.

What we check on a diagnostic visit: wall preparation and priming; pattern set out; mural and custom print installation; wall panelling and mouldings.

Humidity swings between an air conditioned room and a closed up one stress every seam, and unsealed gypsum in Dubai pulls water from adhesive faster than paper can bond.

How long does a feature wall take? Most feature walls are a single day including preparation. A full room is two to three days depending on the number of openings.

Send a photograph or a short video on WhatsApp. In most cases we can tell you what it is before anyone is dispatched, which saves you a callout fee on something that turns out to be minor.

Wallpaper fails in Dubai for two reasons: the wall was not prepared and the adhesive was wrong for the humidity. Gypsum that has not been sealed pulls moisture from the paste, and paper hung onto an unprimed surface lifts at the seams within months. We prepare and prime the wall first, set out the pattern from a plumb line rather than a corner, and use the adhesive specified for that paper and that substrate.

If this is what you are dealing with, send a photograph on WhatsApp — we will tell you what it is and what it costs before anyone is dispatched.
