London hanging and mounting · South London
We work in Merton every week — wimbledon's village and tennis, mitcham's commons and the wandle valley industry at colliers wood. All hanging and mounting services is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |

One call-out and one detector sweep cover every item hung on the same visit, which is why the per-item price drops sharply after the first. Fixings are rated for the actual weight and wall type. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised in the written quote.
Working in Merton
The stock in Merton is edwardian villas in wimbledon, 1930s semis in raynes park and morden, and estates around mitcham, and the mix changes street by street — Colliers Wood (SW19), Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Merton sets the constraint: championship-fortnight restrictions in sw19, hill access to wimbledon village, and driveways common further out. Locally that means high street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Merton sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Leases across Merton restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.
Merton Priory and Wandle mills gave way to Victorian and interwar suburbs once the railway reached Wimbledon in 1838. That history is why Merton property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Brackets fixed into the right substrate, cables chased or trunked, screen levelled.
Heavy mirrors, gallery walls and framed prints hung level and anchored for the real weight.
Floating and bracketed shelving into plaster, brick, stud and dot-and-dab.
Wardrobes, beds, desks and storage built, levelled and anchored to the wall.
First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) starts at £55 in Merton, and the ladder runs up to £40 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: CR4, SM4, SW19 and SW20. On the ground that includes Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden, Raynes Park, Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park.
Most slots are within 48 hours, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Merton and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Edwardian villas in Wimbledon, 1930s semis in Raynes Park and Morden, and estates around Mitcham is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Merton tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Merton postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor. If something on that list turns up in Merton, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
