Depends what type of paper you are stripping really, and what you are replacing it with.
In the first room we used a steamer, but it trashed the ancient plaster as it seemed to be all patchwork.
In one room to start with we just picked a corner and pulled, and keep doing that until we only had the stubborn bits left. This was the most satisifying way.IF you are re papering, we managed to separate the wallpaper from the lining paper in the hall by lightly scoring the top layer of the wallpaper and using warm water to soak and for us it split the wallpaper from the layer glued down.

Quick question: anyone got a wallpaper stripper? Anyone want to give me some tips on how to prepare hall stairs and landing before:
1) my new child arrives
2) the decorator arrives
?
