## Frequently asked
- [What does wallcovering installation cost in London?](https://www.mrwallcover.com/faq/#cost): There is no honest flat rate per roll. The figure follows the measured area after openings are taken off, the pattern repeat and the wastage it creates, the state of the walls, and the material. A plain contract vinyl in an empty room is a different day's work from a hand-painted scenic in an occupied house, or a hotel corridor that can only be reached between guests.
- [How far ahead do you need to be booked?](https://www.mrwallcover.com/faq/#lead-times): We give a date after the survey. A single room in a private house can often be scheduled sooner than a hotel package that has to move floor by floor around guests.
- [Do you prepare the walls before hanging?](https://www.mrwallcover.com/faq/#preparation): Where the specification includes it, preparation means stripping old paper, sanding with dust extraction, and making good cracks and uneven surfaces before anything decorative goes up.
- [Who supplies the wallpaper?](https://www.mrwallcover.com/faq/#supply): Usually the designer, the brand or the client supplies the wallcovering, and we manage delivery and quantities. That is the ordinary arrangement on a hotel or a flagship, and it keeps the specification where the designer left it.
- [What aftercare and warranty do you offer?](https://www.mrwallcover.com/faq/#aftercare): Aftercare is included. About four to six weeks after completion we return, at no call-out charge, and look at seams, edges and corners once the paper has settled. Touch-ups that belong to the hang are done then. During the guarantee, a repair to our workmanship is a priority call-out.
- [Which materials do you hang, and where?](https://www.mrwallcover.com/faq/#materials-area): Silk, grasscloth and other natural weaves, fabric walling, vinyl and contract wallcoverings, hand-painted papers in the manner of de Gournay and Fromental, murals, and acoustic wallcoverings and panels. We also hang to joinery when that is specified.
