Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
All hanging and mounting services in Shortlands and Hayes BR2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them mainly Edwardian. 3,676 households sit inside this BR2 patch, 52% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hayes Common rather than a London average.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In BR2, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — the pattern behind 3,676 households inside the BR2 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
List the items
TVs, mirrors, shelves, poles — whatever needs hanging, in whichever rooms. One visit, one call-out.
Step 2
Detector sweep per room
Cables and pipes traced before drilling; London flats hide shallow chases behind switches and skirting-level pipe runs.
Step 3
Read each wall
Solid brick, dot-and-dab, lath-and-plaster and stud walls all sit in the same Victorian conversion — each item gets the fixing its own wall needs.
Step 4
Fix and level
Cleats, toggles, resin anchors or straight screws into timber, whichever the item and the wall call for, checked with a laser.
Step 5
Make good and clear up
Redundant holes filled, dust vacuumed, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
What follows is specific to Shortlands and Hayes: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 and the rest of Bromley. Item count first, then wall type. Mixing wall types in one flat is normal in London and does not change the price — only the number of items and anything over 30kg does.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) | £55 | 30–45 min | The detector sweep and the wall read are done once and cover every item fixed on the same visit. |
| Each additional item, same visit and same wall type | £25 | 15–25 min | No repeat call-out or sweep — only the extra fixing and the item itself add time. |
| Mixed multi-room visit, up to 6 items | £220 | 2.5–3.5 hrs | Typical house move-in list: two TVs, a mirror, three shelves, spread across rooms with different wall types. |
| Curtain pole or track, per window | £45 | 30–45 min | Bay windows and bows need mitred brackets set to the actual angle, not a straight rule. |
| Heavy item over 30kg (large mirror, floating shelf run) | £85 | 45–75 min | Needs a rated cleat or resin anchor and two people to hold and level while it is fixed. |
| Snagging list for a new tenancy, per hour after the first | £40 | 60 min | Landlords booking five or six small fixes in one flat before a let starts pay the standard hourly rate after the first item. |

Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
In Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) the split is 52% flats to 48% houses over 3,676 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 24% private renting against 69% owner-occupied, most BR2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Shortlands and Hayes substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common is the mistake that costs a BR2 customer twice.
Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby — which is why a BR2 quote is not a Bromley average.
Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Nearest station is Shortlands (Southeastern), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 on BR2 jobs, with 69% owner-occupation locally. In Shortlands and Hayes we usually meet lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on this side of Bromley, with this being a short walk from Shortlands (Southeastern) — and 33% one-person households here, so a TV, a mirror and three shelves in one flat can each need a different fixing; the failure we undo most is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common.
Do you check for cables before drilling in BR2?
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole in Shortlands and Hayes, with Hayes Common a few streets away, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.

Hayes Common is the marker we route to on Bromley bookings, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. A BR2 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Shortlands and Hayes, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood.
Is same-day or evening all hanging and mounting services available in Bromley?
Most slots are within 48 hours, with 3,676 households on this patch, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked in this 52% flats neighbourhood. Shortlands and Hayes sits close to Shortlands (Southeastern) on this side of Bromley, with 69% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a BR2 job to an existing Bromley round at short notice.
