How much would it cost do you reckon to get someone in to strip & wallpaper a fireplace wall? Labour not materials.

The cost is likely to vary depending on where you live, hourly rates will be different.

True boxtops, hard to estimate! Was wondering how much I'd saved minimum. Thank you for answering!

how long did it take? My nice man charges 115 quid for an 8 hour day, in hampshire.

Ooh, about hour & a half to paper, stripping it .. came off pretty good in complete strips woofgang .. about ten minutes? Making the paste up & pasting the paper.. make it a couple of hours total!

[woofgang]

well there's your answer, you have probably saved yourself about 25 to 27 quid if you live in the south.
