Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Islington N1, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Highbury & Islington, all hanging and mounting services here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 81% of Islington's 8,725 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Islington
Five steps, the same on every N1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Islington customers book us
Four things decide whether a N1 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. Narrow squares with resident bays, listed frontages and basement flats down external steps.
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. Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Islington walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in N1, often with surface conduit, and with 36% one-person households in Islington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Islington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 81% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Islington actually produces.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Islington
Fixed prices for N1 and the rest of Islington. 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 Islington
The same scope across N1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Islington bookings: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, allowing for the 27% of N1 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 Islington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Islington: laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, timed against the walk in from Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground)
- On N1 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, agreed on the doorstep in Islington before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, handled by London Borough of Islington or a specialist contractor instead
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, which we refer on to the right trade in Islington
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, outside the fixed price on Islington bookings

Islington N1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Islington — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
Islington N1 is Georgian and early Victorian and social-housing-led: 81% of homes here are flats and 19% are houses, across 8,725 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 27% private renting against 27% owner-occupied, most N1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Islington substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in N1, often with surface conduit, and with 36% one-person households in Islington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Islington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 81% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Islington actually produces is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Barnsbury and Canonbury squares, antique shops and the Almeida. That character decides the practical detail of all hanging and mounting services here far more than the borough boundary does. Islington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, narrow squares with resident bays, listed frontages and basement flats down external steps — 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 Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground).
