Removing Wallpaper In Stairwell

Definitely have someone with you or perhaps hire a handyman to do just that part of the job?

Have you considered renting a scaffolding?

Put your ladder on a step against the wall you face as you're coming down the stairs. Next put a 2x6 board (we call a walk board) from the top stair across to the wrung on the ladder that is level with the top stair, We than put a milk crate on that board to stand on to reach the ceiling. If it's really high, you'll need a ladder going sideways against the side walls resting on the walk board. We have a wallpaper hanging buisness and usually, there are two of us for safety reasons when stairwells are involved!

While I have never done this, I have the same problem and the only thing I can figure is one needs a ladder that folds in different lengths and positions so that the short end is to the top of the steps and a longer side on a lower step. I'm not suggesting this brand of ladder but I found this site to show you what I mean. Good luck in your project. http://www.gorillaladders.net/pc-18-5-21-aluminum.aspx
