Having removed an ancient Baxi Bermuda fire, we are left with a patch of
wall with damaged wallpaper, I do not know where the previous occupants
got the paper from, but it has been very very well hung, as a result
papering the whole room is a no no. I have spoken to a decorator who has
said if we can get the paper, he can replace the damaged rolls to the same
standard as the rest of the room.

I do not have any local wallpaper shops with pattern books etc, so can
anyone reccommend a way of identifying my wallpaper, perhaps a website of
patterns?



Have you looked in your loft, garage roof space, understairs cupboards etc?
I was once in a similar situation and found two unopened rolls in a bin bag
in the loft whilst up there looking for something else. Luckily I found
them the day before I planned on stripping the rest of the paper off! You
never know you may be lucky.

If that doesn't work take a picture of the paper to the local
wallpapering shop if you have one and ask them.
If they don't know (or you don't have an independent one, and the
sheds don't have it) then repapre just that wall in a contrasting
paper.
