One roll of B&Q discontinued wallpaper needed - can anyone please help?

Globetrotter33

In the middle of decorating a bedroom and have run out of wallpaper, which is now discontinued by B&Q 😡 I have rung round all the stores with no luck and wondered if anyone reading this could give me any idea where I might be able to get hold of a roll or even have a spare roll lying around somewhere!

It's the Colours range - 'Ava' pink/blue
Bar code 5397007071900
Batch no: 001
Pattern number: 31-716

It's a long shot I know, but worth a try!

Thank you.

have you tried posting on your local free cycle group.

Have you tried ringing Head Office and asking them which stores have still got supplies of this paper?

Thanks for your replies and for posting the product information bsms! I contacted Head Office and was told there are 2 rolls showing in our local store but - frustratingly, they can't be traced by the staff and we actually went down today and searched the whole store to no avail. I will give our local freecycle group a try and keep on hoping before I take the whole lot off and start again!

Stores can do a regional or even nationwide search to see what stores are showing stock.
However you would need to contact stores to physically check. As you found out showing stock sites not mean they have them - if a roll has been opened for samples but not correctly written off as such, it will still show up.
Your other problem is batch numbers, you may track down a roll but be a different batch that you may able to notice when side by side on the wall

Is it B&Qs own make?. Keep checking ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=b+q+wallpaper&_frs=1

Not exactly the same, sorry.

Rather than taking it all off if you can't find a matching roll, what about re-papering one wall in plain lining paper and painting it, sort of a reverse 'feature wall'? Or do the two smallest/opposite walls in plain paper and paint it? Just an idea.
