Transparent Wallpaper Removal Cost in Dubai

Our technicians offer same-day site visits across Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, JLT, and Palm Jumeirah.

Our 4-Step Damage-Free Process

• Wall Assessment: We identify the wallpaper type (vinyl, fabric, or peel-and-stick) and wall material (drywall or plaster).
• Surface Preparation: Protecting your floors, skirting boards, and outlets.
• Eco-Friendly Steaming & Stripping: Using professional wallpaper steamers and specialized solvents to dissolve old adhesive safely.
• Wall Scraping & Cleaning: Removing residual glue and sanding the drywall for a perfectly smooth finish.

Different wallpaper types need different removal techniques — using the wrong method risks tearing the drywall underneath.

• Vinyl wallpaper – Coated and water-resistant, so it needs steam and a scoring tool to break the seal before stripping.
• Fabric wallpaper – Delicate and prone to tearing; removed dry wherever possible to protect the wall beneath.
• Peel-and-stick wallpaper – Usually the easiest to remove and rarely damages the wall, but old adhesive can still leave residue.
• Grasscloth & textured wallpaper – Porous and absorbs water fast, so we use controlled steaming to avoid soaking the drywall.

Can you paint directly over walls after removing wallpaper?

No. If you paint directly over left-over wallpaper glue, the paint will crack, flake, and texture unevenly. Our Dubai team meticulously cleans off all residue, applies a stabilizing primer, and skims the wall before any paint touches the surface.

Do you offer combined discounts for wallpaper removal and apartment painting?

Yes! We offer bundled packages for residential villas, studios, and commercial spaces looking for a full end-of-tenancy refresh or move-in ready painting.

Does taking down wallpaper damage the walls?

Traditional wallpaper is applied with wet paste, so removal can sometimes damage the wall surface if not done carefully. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is far gentler and usually comes off without leaving a mark. Our steam-based method minimizes damage risk on both types.

How much does wallpaper removal cost in Dubai?

Pricing typically runs from AED 3.50–15 per square meter, or AED 150–600 for an average room, depending on wallpaper type and condition. If you also want the wall repainted afterward, budget an additional AED 600–1,000 for a standard room. Labor, tools, and cleanup are included in every quote — the final price depends on wallpaper type, wall condition, and room size.

Can I apply new wallpaper over old wallpaper?

It's possible, but not recommended — layering wallpaper increases the risk of warping, bubbling, and premature peeling. We recommend full removal before re-papering for the best long-term result.

Why does wallpaper removal cost vary so much?

It's a labor-intensive job — the time required depends heavily on wallpaper type, how well the walls were primed originally, and whether scaffolding or extra equipment is needed for high walls or stairwells.

What should I look for in a wallpaper removal company in Dubai?

Look for a company that's licensed and insured, uses steam-based (not just chemical-only) removal methods to protect drywall, and includes post-removal wall prep in their quote — not just the paper strip itself. UATS covers all three as standard.
