    Linear foot!!....Just expect to be charged per roll. Normally a roll is half a meter in width and 10meters in length. So if you have no pattern you should get just 4 lengths a roll.If its a matching pattern/drop pattern you would probably get 3 lengths to a roll....

    I haven't done a papering job in many years but it was around 10 punts a roll to hang. Heard a few in the roaring times got 20/25euro a roll.....

    Also when you say prepare the room, does this include stripping wallpaper?

    Look, if i were you I would strip walls yourself to save a few bob. Get every bit of paper off walls and sand it all down.

    Obviously there is a radiator in room, so to make a good job of it, get it taken off to get at wallpaper behind it, but to honest if the paper hanger is good it won't stop him if you didn't get radiator taken down.
