Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Old Street EC1V, explained
This page prices all hanging and mounting services for Old Street EC1V specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 4,949 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Islington permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Old Street
Five steps, the same on every EC1V job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC1V, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — with 52% 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 Old Street customers book us
What follows is specific to Old Street: its walls, its access and the paperwork Islington agents ask for.
Old Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Old Street, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in EC1V, 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, as the Old Street stock goes, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Old Street
Fixed prices for EC1V 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 Old Street
The same scope across EC1V, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Old Street: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, timed against the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern)
- On EC1V jobs: wall read for solid brick, dot-and-dab, lath-and-plaster or stud, with the fixing matched to it, agreed on the doorstep in Old Street before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Islington bookings: laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, allowing for the 28% of EC1V homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, noted on the Old Street job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, outside the fixed price on Old Street bookings
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, and we will say so before the EC1V visit rather than on the day
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, handled by London Borough of Islington or a specialist contractor instead

Working in Old Street
Old Street EC1V at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Old Street — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 28% private renting against 19% owner-occupied, most EC1V bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Old Street, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in EC1V. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Old Street stock goes, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the fault we are called back to undo.
Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe — which is why a EC1V quote is not a Islington average.
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Nearest station is Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

How much does all hanging and mounting services cost in Old Street EC1V?
First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) starts at £55 in Old Street, with 98% of homes here being flats — and Islington parking rules in play, 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away, with 39% one-person households here.
Can you do a whole room of hanging and mounting in one visit in Old Street EC1V?
Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 on the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground, with 4,949 households on this patch. In Old Street we usually meet precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Old Street, often with surface conduit — and 52% social-rented stock nearby, which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on EC1V jobs, with 19% owner-occupation locally, 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, as the Old Street stock goes, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
Do you check for cables before drilling in EC1V?
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on this side of Islington, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.
I rent in Old Street — will hanging things affect my deposit?
With 28% of Old Street homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly in Old Street. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, and we can return at check-out to remove anything and make the wall good around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).
What is not included in all hanging and mounting services in Old Street?
Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job; Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away, which is an electrician's job; Fixing into asbestos insulating board across EC1V, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Old Street EC1V price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Islington, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented.
Who books all hanging and mounting services in Old Street EC1V — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 28% of Old Street privately rented and 19% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC1V diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on EC1V jobs — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 4,949 households on this patch.
How quickly can you reach Old Street from your Islington round?
Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the marker we route to in Old Street, with 98% of homes here being flats, and red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. A EC1V slot added to an existing Islington round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Islington, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.
