Whats the best way to remove layers of old wallpaper?

Use a steamer designed for the job - you can buy or hire them out.

Along with the steamer, you'll need a wall paper perforator, seen here: http://www.zinsser.com/product_detail.asp?Prod uctID=20 .

The steamer is a good idea, but it can be messy. I've had really good luck with products like this: http://www.wallwik.com/products/wallwik-power- solution.html .

Of course, these are products available here in the U.S., but I'm sure something similar can be found in the U.K. at most DIY stores.

It's easily applied with either a paint roller or my favorite a common garden sprayer. The warmer the water, the better. It's especially good in removing the remaining paste from the walls...

Good luck!

All before is absolutely correct but if you have children do it the old fashioned way with lots of water and set them loose tearing it off. Kids love it.
