We use both mechanical taping tools and traditional hand taping, choosing whichever suits the job best rather than defaulting to one method — it's a specialist skill we're regularly asked for by builders and homeowners alike.

Wallpaper & Ames Taping: Common Questions
What is Ames taping?
Ames taping refers to taping and jointing drywall seams ready for a smooth painted finish. We use both mechanical taping tools and traditional hand taping depending on the job, and we'll choose whichever's right for your walls and ceilings rather than defaulting to one method.
Can you hang patterned or textured wallpaper?
Yes, pattern matching on repeat designs and handling delicate or heavyweight wallcoverings is a core part of what we do, with close attention paid to seam placement and pattern alignment throughout.
Do you supply the wallpaper or do I need to buy it myself?
Most customers choose and supply their own wallpaper, and we're happy to advise on quantities and suitability before you order. We supply all adhesives, lining paper and preparation materials.
