Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Aldgate EC3, explained
All hanging and mounting services in Aldgate EC3 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them post-war. 4,914 households sit inside this EC3 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe rather than a London average.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Aldgate
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Aldgate stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Aldgate customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Aldgate wall.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Aldgate walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Aldgate actually produces in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Aldgate
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Aldgate
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On EC3 jobs: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, agreed on the doorstep in Aldgate before anything is unpacked
- In Aldgate: wall read for solid brick, dot-and-dab, lath-and-plaster or stud, with the fixing matched to it, timed against the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan)
- Laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, noted on the Aldgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on City of London bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, allowing for the 48% of EC3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC3
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, which we refer on to the right trade in Aldgate
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead

Working in Aldgate
Aldgate EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Aldgate — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
The EC3 stock around The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe is post-war. ONS records 98% flats, 2% houses and 4,914 households in Aldgate.
Owner-occupation runs at 37% in Aldgate, so alongside the 48% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Aldgate actually produces behind the plaster in EC3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Aldgate knows the pattern near The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe: eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. We plan the EC3 visit around it. Aldgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Nearest station is Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

Common questions
All hanging and mounting services in Aldgate EC3 — your questions.
How much does all hanging and mounting services cost in Aldgate EC3?
First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) starts at £55 in Aldgate on EC3 jobs, with this being City of London Corporation territory — and this being a short walk from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 across EC3 — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with 4,914 households on this patch.
Can you do a whole room of hanging and mounting in one visit in Aldgate EC3?
Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 around Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. In Aldgate we usually meet dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Aldgate actually produces, with 4,914 households on this patch — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, so a TV, a mirror and three shelves in one flat can each need a different fixing; the failure we undo most is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Do you check for cables before drilling in EC3?
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on City of London bookings, with 4,914 households on this patch, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately. City of London Corporation rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
I rent in Aldgate — will hanging things affect my deposit?
With 48% of Aldgate homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly across EC3. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe a few streets away, and we can return at check-out to remove anything and make the wall good on this side of City of London.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC3?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record on EC3 jobs, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Aldgate rounds, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
What is not included in all hanging and mounting services in Aldgate?
Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job; Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job; Fixing into asbestos insulating board in Aldgate — and 2% of Aldgate homes being houses, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Aldgate EC3 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of City of London, with this being a short walk from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan).
Who books all hanging and mounting services in Aldgate EC3 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 48% of Aldgate privately rented and 37% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe a few streets away, with 2% of Aldgate homes being houses.
