Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Blackfriars EC4, explained
This page prices all hanging and mounting services for Blackfriars EC4 specifically: mixed-era stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Blackfriars
Five steps, the same on every EC4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map 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 Blackfriars customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC4 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Embankment red route with no stopping; access is via the side lanes with a permit.
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. Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Blackfriars walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood in EC4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Blackfriars gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Blackfriars actually produces.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Blackfriars
Fixed prices for EC4 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 Blackfriars
The same scope across EC4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on City of London bookings: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, allowing for the 48% of EC4 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Wall read for solid brick, dot-and-dab, lath-and-plaster or stud, with the fixing matched to it, noted on the Blackfriars job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Blackfriars: laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, timed against the walk in from Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink)
- On EC4 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, agreed on the doorstep in Blackfriars before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, outside the fixed price on Blackfriars bookings
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, and we will say so before the EC4 visit rather than on the day
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in Blackfriars

Working in Blackfriars
Blackfriars EC4 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Blackfriars — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
In Blackfriars (EC4) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is mixed-era.
Because 48% of Blackfriars is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Blackfriars is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Blackfriars gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Blackfriars actually produces.
Riverfront offices and legal quarter streets running up to Fleet Street. That character decides the practical detail of all hanging and mounting services here far more than the borough boundary does. Blackfriars sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: embankment red route with no stopping; access is via the side lanes with a permit. Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

In Blackfriars we usually meet with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood — and Blackfriars Bridge and the Thames-spanning station a few streets away, so a TV, a mirror and three shelves in one flat can each need a different fixing; the failure we undo most is Blackfriars gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs in Blackfriars, with this being a short walk from Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink), which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Blackfriars actually produces.

On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on the streets near Blackfriars Bridge and the Thames-spanning station, with this being a short walk from Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink), which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.
