Where do you buy the spike roller tool? I've never seen one of those before.

@Argyll1000

I bought it from a Dulux decorator centre.

It's called a wallpaper perforator, you can also get them online!

i have a steam wall paper stripper, do you think that this method will be better than using that?

[ultimatehandyman]

@davyfreeman

In most cases it is easier, but it depends on the type of paper and how many times it has been painted etc.

@ultimatehandyman i shall give it a go then, cheers (again)

You can always try a steam wall paper remover.

Thank you for the video. My walls have an egg shell finish, it's proving very difficult to take the wall paper off. Do you have other tips to make my job easier? P.S. I don't have any nephews :)

Yes, but if it is drywall, don't over wet it.
