Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Hoxton N1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Hackney, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 7,353 households sit inside this N1 patch, 96% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Museum of the Home rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
TVs, mirrors, shelves, poles — whatever needs hanging, in whichever rooms. One visit, one call-out.
Step 2
Cables and pipes traced before drilling; London flats hide shallow chases behind switches and skirting-level pipe runs.
Step 3
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
Cleats, toggles, resin anchors or straight screws into timber, whichever the item and the wall call for, checked with a laser.
Step 5
Redundant holes filled, dust vacuumed, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Museum of the Home in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Hoxton (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
One fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns.
Most slots are within 48 hours, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked. Hoxton (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
I booked online last minute, as I needed a handyman urgently for the next day. When I called Hello Services, I spoke to Michelle and she was extremely helpful and arranged everything within 15 mins.

Working in Hoxton
Walk Hoxton from The Museum of the Home outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 96% of the 7,353 households in N1 live in flats, 3% in houses.
33% of households rent privately and 22% own, which is why all hanging and mounting services demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Hoxton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Museum of the Home. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Hoxton (Overground) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hoxton: hoxton Square, Geffrye Museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hoxton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns — one reason one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Hoxton (Overground).
