This page prices all hanging and mounting services for Clerkenwell EC1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 36% privately rented and 5,170 households in total.

How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Clerkenwell
Five steps, the same on every EC1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Clerkenwell stock goes, and with 36% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Clerkenwell customers book us
What follows is specific to Clerkenwell: its walls, its access and the paperwork City of London agents ask for.
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. Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a EC1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Clerkenwell walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 94% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Clerkenwell actually produces in EC1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it 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 Clerkenwell
Fixed prices for EC1 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. |

Working in Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell EC1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Clerkenwell — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
Walk Clerkenwell from The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 94% of the 5,170 households in EC1 live in flats, 6% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 25% in Clerkenwell, so alongside the 36% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Clerkenwell substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 94% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Clerkenwell actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a EC1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Clerkenwell knows the pattern near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market: design studios, Italian delis and Georgian squares on the City's north-west edge. We plan the EC1 visit around it. Clerkenwell sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Narrow one-way streets, seven-day controlled bays and warehouse lofts up several flights of stairs. Nearest station is Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

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 for Clerkenwell (EC1) addresses — and 36% of EC1 homes being privately rented, with 5,170 households on this patch.
Can you do a whole room of hanging and mounting in one visit in Clerkenwell EC1?
Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 on City of London bookings, with 39% social-rented stock nearby. In Clerkenwell we usually meet often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 94% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Clerkenwell actually produces on the Clerkenwell rounds, with 6% of Clerkenwell homes being houses, so a TV, a mirror and three shelves in one flat can each need a different fixing; the failure we undo most is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it 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 EC1?
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on City of London bookings, with 5,170 households on this patch, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately. Near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
I rent in Clerkenwell — will hanging things affect my deposit?
With 36% of Clerkenwell homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly across EC1. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market 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.
