Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Forest Hill SE23, explained
All hanging and mounting services in Forest Hill SE23 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,684 households sit inside this SE23 patch, 58% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Horniman Museum and Gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Forest Hill
Five steps, the same on every SE23 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and with 28% one-person households in Forest Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Forest Hill customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE23 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. Steep gradients, narrow hill roads and permit bays around the station.
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. Forest Hill (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE23 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Forest Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE23, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Forest Hill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Forest Hill actually produces.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Forest Hill
Fixed prices for SE23 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Forest Hill
The same scope across SE23, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, allowing for the 27% of SE23 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 Forest Hill job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Forest Hill: laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, timed against the walk in from Forest Hill (Overground)
- On SE23 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, agreed on the doorstep in Forest Hill 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 Forest Hill bookings
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, and we will say so before the SE23 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 Forest Hill

Forest Hill SE23 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Forest Hill — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
Forest Hill SE23 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 58% of homes here are flats and 42% are houses, across 6,684 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 27% private renting against 54% owner-occupied, most SE23 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Forest Hill substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Forest Hill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Forest Hill actually produces is the mistake that costs a SE23 customer twice.
The Horniman Museum, the hill views and a compact village centre. That character decides the practical detail of all hanging and mounting services here far more than the borough boundary does. Forest Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep gradients, narrow hill roads and permit bays around the station — 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 Forest Hill (Overground).

Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job; Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job; Fixing into asbestos insulating board across SE23 — and The Horniman Museum and Gardens a few streets away, with Lewisham parking rules in play, which needs a licensed contractor.
