Invoice templates for wallpaper installers covering residential feature walls, full room papering, commercial wallcoverings, and specialist wallpapers.
A wallpaper installer invoice covers the labour and any materials involved in hanging wallpaper in residential or commercial properties. Professional wallpaper hangers in the UK work across luxury homes, hotels, restaurants, offices, and retail spaces. Specialist papers — grasscloth, silk, hand-painted, and embossed — require particular skill and command higher rates than standard wallpaper. Wallpaper hanging is typically priced per roll hung or per day, depending on the job complexity and how your business operates. Materials (paste, lining paper, primer) are often charged separately or included in a day rate. Feature walls have become popular and are often the entry point for residential clients. Commercial projects for hotels or branded environments may require compliance with fire safety regulations for wallcoverings (BS EN 13501-1 fire classification).
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Wallpaper hanging (per roll) | 35 | roll |
| Specialist / luxury wallpaper hanging (per roll) | 60 | roll |
| Lining paper (supply and hang, per roll) | 18 | roll |
| Wallpaper removal (per room) | 150 | room |
| Wall preparation (filling, sanding, sizing) | 80 | room |
| Full-day wallpaper hanging rate | 280 | day |
| Feature wall (supply of paste + hang, single wall) | 120 | wall |
Paperhangers price hanging either per single roll or bolt (about $25 to $50, rising to $35 to $60 for grasscloth) or per square foot of wall (roughly $1 to $7 labor-only, more for murals and custom panels), with removal billed $1 to $3 per square foot and often hourly because condition is unknown until stripping starts. Rates run high in coastal metros like NYC and California and lower in the Midwest, and prep, sizing, and specialty materials are almost always separate lines on top of the base hang.
Signed estimate plus a non-refundable deposit (commonly 30 to 50 percent) to reserve the date and order or calculate materials, with the balance due on completion or within one business day; larger multi-room jobs may bill progress payments per room.
In most US states installation labor on real property is taxed differently from the wallpaper itself, so separately state material (often taxable at retail) from labor (taxable or exempt by state) on the invoice. Installer-supplied wallpaper may make you the retailer owing sales tax on the goods, while customer-supplied material shifts that liability, so track who furnished the paper per job.
This is general guidance, not tax advice. Tax rules vary by country, state, and situation, so confirm with a qualified accountant before relying on it.
Wallpaper installers typically invoice on completion of the job, with payment expected on the day or within 7 days. For larger or multi-room projects, a 25–30% deposit at booking and balance on completion is standard. For luxury or specialist papers, be explicit about the wallpaper reference on the invoice — this protects you if the client later claims the wrong paper was hung. Keep photographic records of the finished work. Commercial projects (hotel rooms, office wallcovering) may require formal invoicing through the main contractor or interior designer. In this case, follow their invoice submission process and reference the project number.
