Painting and decorating

[Tasa]

I'm painitng my daughter's bedroom and thought I could remove a border and then paint over the wallpaper but the border isn't coming off at all- any tips? Should I go and buy a wallpaper stripper/steamer?

try wetting the border

Have you tried soaking it? Mind you, any steps you take to remove the border might well remove the wallpaper underneath.

You could hire a steamer.

would the steamer remove only the border?

have hired a steamer and ladders from lord hire this weekend, it cost in total around 33 pounds. The steamer is huge and we only needed to remove a boarder from the top of the wall and the middle (its taken half the paint with it so we have had to buy some polycell basepaint) its looking ok at the moment and we are hoping to paint tomorrow
