ClaireLou Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi.I hope someone out there can help me.I am a complete DIY novice and I'm looking for some advice on removing wood panelling from the stairs of my house. At some points its going to be easier to remove but at other its almost like its glued in place.I'm looking for some advice on how to remove the bits that are 'glued' on doing as little damage as possible to wall underneath.Can you someone help?ThanksClaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theparks Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 There's no way your going to remove it without causing damage to the wall, best accept that you will need a plasterer to make good.sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 ClaireAre you able to see under the wood to tell if its stuck directly onto the wall itself, or if there seems to be any wallpaper that it may have been stuck to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 lol, guys, have you seen what wood panelling looks like? Its horrible. I wouldnt want to have to paint over it, and I certainly would not want it on any of my walls.As said already, check underneath it to see what its actually stuck to, because if its glued to wallpaper then it should come right off without damaging the walls, but if it is stuck to the wall itself, then a VERY sharp scraper from the local decorators merchants and some steam could also get it right off in a flash if you can get the scraper behind the panels to the glued sections.If not, then tearing it off may take small chunks out of the plaster, as said by "theparks" earlier..
