How not to paper a ceiling

royaloakcarpentry · Post by **royaloakcarpentry** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:29 pm

Finished this bathroom last month, sub contract job and then a 'painter and decorator' came along and papered the ceiling. Not I hasten to add a 'painter and decorator' employed by myself....................mine are actual real ones!

I wouldn't mind but I could have done the ceiling myself but elected not too. Not only has he done a very poor job but he got the protecting coat applied to the paper all over my ruddy tiles and just left it.

The client hasn't even asked for it to be done again, but did comment that it cost £85 per roll. That, I found amusing as I saw the rolls and they were labelled at £8 pmsl.

Not sure which is worse the paper or the paperhanging.

That is seriously gaudy

Pssss, do they call it paper hanging when it's on a ceiling

it is hanging on the ceiling lol The paper is horrendous, the design doesn't belong anywhere except inside a shed.

The paper hasn't even been centred either, he came off the wall by a full width to make it easier for himself.

Perhaps they wanted a Victorian public bog look.

Terrible paperhanging and setting out... but I actually quite like it

I'm afraid that paper is just not agreeable with my eyes.

It looks like whoever hung it has never papered before, they have made a right pigs ear of it!

At first I thought Royaloak had posted the pic upside down, and the ceiling was a carpet in a white tiled bathroom!...

Looks like it, Gadget. Even shows the bidet spray and the light to check what is being sprayed.

Sorry for that, ROC,
