Just had a call to say they've found some at the local independent
wallpaper shop!
Had looked in the wickes booklet and they hadn't got it listed in
there and b&q don't have it listed online neither do homebase and
focus

Yes, do it properly.

This stuff is a nightmare, you'll regret it.

Depends what it's being used for... it has a bad reputation because
people try to use it as a cure for penetrating damp (ie, an impervious
layer to cover up God know's what underneath it); but in some
circumstances, where condensation is a problem on cold walls, it can be
great (by insulating the cold surface). I'd only ever use it in areas
not susceptible to bumps etc; eg it works well inside fitted wardrobes
where condensation/mould can otherwise be a problem.

It tends to get used to cover cracks lumps and bumps. Trouble is,
whatever the reason for putting it on, its as soft as... polystyrene,
and inevitably gets damaged and ends up looking awful after a while.

Whats the reason for using it? Theres usually probably better.

Yes, its absolutely ideal for this, I also use it behind fitted kitchen
cabinets
I actually use Novamura wallpaper it much stronger and easier to use then
polystyrene, but works just as wel .

Can't vouch for the OP's reasons, but in my case - as above!

I can vouch for Novamura. First time I ever wallpapered (when I was 14 or 15
I think) was with this. It's very forgiving stuff, has some thickness so
easy to line up. I'm not sure I actually like result as much as a good
vinyl but it is incredibly easy to hang and doesn't look bad all said and
done. It worked quite well in a bedroom on lumpy patched up plaster. The
thickness does seem to disguise imperfections on the wall upto a point.

Warmalene, made/distributed by an outfit called Vencil Resil (who
won't supply to end users). Should be available from trade outlets as
well as the usual suspects.
