I've recently moved house and had a damp course done, which involved stripping back the wall. It has now been replastered, but I can't find the lining paper the previous owners have used.
I have checked the Anaglypta range, B&Q, Wilkes, Homebase and Wilko's and am stuck.
It is an embossed paper, in white, that can be painted over. here is a picture I took with my phone It is only a small section that I need to cover and if I can't find it I'm going to have to strip the hall and upstairs landing and I really want to avoid doing that!
So any ideas and help from the MN collective wisdom would be much appreciated....

is wilko's the same as wilkinson? they seem to have a lot here

Any idea how long it's been up for ? It looks similar to something my mum had on her wall years ago, pretty sure hers was from Fads, But i believe they went into liquidation a while back. Any way you can ask the previous owners about it ?

Not sure how long its been up catpark. The previous owner repapered a bit of the wall with a different lining paper, so am presuming he couldn't find the same one, so it must have been the previous owners which is 12+ years ago.
Have checked out Fads website, but couldn't find a match in thier current range, will give them an email. Thanks Catpark!
