About Wall & Ink – Turning Walls into Works of Art

At Wall & Ink, we believe every wall has a story to tell. Founded with the vision of combining creativity with cutting-edge printing technology, we’ve grown into a UK wall printing company trusted by homeowners, schools, retailers, and businesses alike. Our mission is simple: to transform ordinary walls into extraordinary experiences.

Who We Are as a Wall Printing Company

Wall & Ink was founded in Derby with a single purpose: to give businesses, schools, and homeowners a better way to transform their spaces. We saw a market full of generic vinyl wraps and peel-and-stick wallpaper and built something different. A direct wall printing service that delivers permanent, high-resolution murals printed onto any surface, without the mess, seams, or shortcuts.

From our base in Derby, we now work with clients across the UK, from independent retail units in Manchester to multi-site school groups in London. Every project is designed and installed by our own team, not subcontracted.

We use direct wall printing technology, which means the design is applied straight onto the wall using professional-grade UV inks. No wallpaper. No vinyl. No gaps. The result is a seamless, durable finish that lasts.

Our Wall Printing Technology

Our Mission

We believe the built environment shapes how people feel and perform. A well-designed mural in a school corridor, an office reception, or a retail space does more than look good. It communicates values, creates atmosphere, and makes spaces more memorable.

 

Our job is to make that outcome accessible to any organisation or individual in the UK, delivered properly, on time, and to a standard that lasts.

Start Your Wall Transformation with Us

Every project begins with a vision. At Wall & Ink, we’ll help turn that vision into a mural you’ll love for years to come.

Direct wall printing uses a computer-controlled inkjet printer that moves across the wall surface, applying UV-cured ink strip by strip. The ink bonds directly onto the wall without primers, adhesives, or panels. Our printer handles surfaces including plaster, brick, concrete, wood, glass, and metal. The UV curing process means the print is dry and touch-safe immediately after application, with no fumes and no downtime in the space.

Interior wall prints produced by Wall & Ink are rated to last up to 10 years under normal conditions. Exterior prints using weather-resistant UV inks are rated for up to 5 years in UK climate conditions. Prints are waterproof, dirt-resistant, and can be wiped clean. They will not peel, crack, or bubble the way wallpaper or vinyl can over time.

Yes. All inks used by Wall & Ink are water-based, low-VOC, and certified safe for occupied environments including classrooms, nurseries, hospitals, and clinical settings. There are no harsh chemicals, no strong odours during application, and no ventilation requirements beyond normal room airflow. We regularly work in schools and healthcare environments across the UK.

Yes. Our printing system includes white as a base layer, which allows accurate colour reproduction on dark or heavily coloured surfaces. For textured walls such as brick, roughcast, or artex, our printer uses distance sensors to maintain consistent ink placement across uneven surfaces. We assess each wall during the consultation stage and will advise if any surface preparation is required before printing.

No. Our in-house design team works from client briefs, brand guidelines, reference images, or ideas discussed during consultation. We produce production-ready artwork and share proofs for approval before any printing begins. If you have existing artwork or a logo you want incorporated, we can adapt that too. Design is included as part of the project, not charged separately.

Wall & Ink prices standard wall printing from £120 per m² for smooth interior surfaces. Dark or textured walls requiring a white base layer start from £150 per m². A minimum job fee of £300 applies. Complex or bespoke commercial projects are quoted individually. We provide detailed written quotes before any work is confirmed, with no hidden costs on the final invoice. Travel costs for projects outside Derby are stated upfront.

Wall & Ink is based in Derby and works with clients across the UK. We have completed projects in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds, and beyond. Travel costs are included in your written quote before any commitment is made. For large commercial or multi-site projects, we can discuss scheduling to minimise costs and disruption.

Most residential projects are completed within a single visit of two to four hours. Commercial installations, including offices, schools, and retail environments, are typically completed within one working day depending on the wall area. We work around your schedule to minimise disruption, including early morning or weekend slots for operational businesses. From initial consultation to completed installation, most projects run on a two to three week timeline.
