Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Forest Gate E7, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Forest Gate, all hanging and mounting services here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 48% of Forest Gate's 10,407 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E7 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Forest Gate
Five steps, the same on every E7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Forest Gate stock goes, the reality on the streets around Wanstead Flats 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 Gate customers book us
Four things decide whether a E7 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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 Gate (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a E7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Forest Gate walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 23% one-person households in Forest Gate, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Forest Gate
Fixed prices for E7 and the rest of Newham. 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 Gate
The same scope across E7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On E7 jobs: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, agreed on the doorstep in Forest Gate before anything is unpacked
- In Forest Gate: wall read for solid brick, dot-and-dab, lath-and-plaster or stud, with the fixing matched to it, timed against the walk in from Forest Gate (Elizabeth line)
- Laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, noted on the Forest Gate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Newham bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, allowing for the 38% of E7 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E7
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, which we refer on to the right trade in Forest Gate
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead

Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in E7.
