Paste the Wall Wallpaper

I am having a bedroom decorated in a couple of weeks and the paper I really like is paste the wall stuff. I presume this is easy enough to hang? My decorator is on holiday just now so can't check with him. Can I assume he will be happy enough to hang this type of wallpaper?

    It wont be a problem, I also paste the paper to make it more pliable for folding into the skirting,ceiling line before cutting

    I'm only a home decorator and have used this type of wallpaper before. I found it very easy to hang, so don't see why a professional would object to using it. A professional should be used to most of the commonly available products on the market.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Thanks very much for your replies. I am sure my decorator will cope admirably. I used to do all the decorating but only ever used the paste the paper type!

    It is very easy. Me and my OH did our bedroom and have never hung wall paper before. We did buy thr ready made paste to make sure it was the right consistency. Make sure you put extra on the joins ( used a small paint brush on joins then used the roller tool to seal).
