Wallpapering the hall and stairs.

Rileybaby

I need to redecorate my hall and stairs. The actual job of papering I'm fine with (I actually quite enjoy it ��). But I can't work out how to safely get high enough to do the job. The ceilings are not that high (it's a 20yo house) but still 15ft plus. What do decorators do can any one help?

You can hire trestles and scaffold boards, and multimode ladders that work on stairs.

I've got that little joy to look forward to - I went out and bought a scaffold tower that will fit in the stairwell. A lot safer in my opinion than ladders and scaffold boards.

I get that but what will you use for the high parts up the stairs where (I assume) you can't put the tower?

If this is obvious please someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you I'll give them a ring.

The tower I bought is narrow enough to fit on the stairs. The only problem area is a short 90° turn on the top four steps, but there are ways round that.
