Top Tips For Wallpaper Stripping

A steamer is a great way to strip wallpaper. When stripping walls with a steamer, you fill the steamer’s boiler canister with water and wait for the water to boil. You can then use the steamer hose to direct jets of steam at the seams wallpaperof the wallpaper. The older the wallpaper, the tougher the bond between the wallpaper paste and the wall will be. Use a scraper to lift the edges of the wallpaper away from the wall, allowing the steam to penetrate. The hot vapour moistens and softens the old wallpaper paste, and you can use the scraper to strip the old wallpaper from the wall. Our staff are always on hand to provide further advice if required. For Wallpaper Stripper Hire please see our Electrical Tools Page.

 

turf cutterTop tips for Turf Cutting

Stripping a lawn is hard work and the best option is to hire a turf cutter to perform the job with ease. Mowing the lawn beforehand will reduce the volume of material requiring rolling and lifting. Cut the strips of turf in one metre or less lengths, roll up and dispose of. A bit like turfing in reverse. Always cut some headlands around the edges of the lawn first so that you do not end up working in the flower border. Our staff are always on hand to offer advice if needed. For Turf Cutter Hire please see our Garden Tool Page.

 

garden rollerLawn Seeding and Mowing Tips

A lawn roller is commonly used when seeding a new lawn. Prior to laying seed, use the roller to flatten the ground and smooth out areas. After seeding, use a light, empty roller to set the seed in place. A roller can also be used for rolling an established lawn prior to mowing which will help with getting an even cut with a lawnmower.

tipsPrior to rolling the area, remove all rocks, twigs and debris from the area. Large bumps should be dug smooth for best results. Prior to seeding or laying sod, the ground may need to be rolled several times to make it smooth. For Garden Roller or Mower Hire please see our Garden Tool Page.
