Southwark · SE17 · All hanging and mounting services
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Elephant and Castle fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for all hanging and mounting services in Elephant and Castle SE17? We work in Elephant and Castle most weeks — rebuilt junction of new towers, the university campus and the remains of the Heygate — and price all hanging and mounting services against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £55, insured fitters, one sweep for every item and old holes made good.
Overview
This page prices all hanging and mounting services for Elephant and Castle SE17 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 48% privately rented and 3,233 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
Most slots are within 48 hours, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked. Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in SE17, 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 Elephant and Castle stock goes, the reality on the streets around Elephant Park.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
One fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Junction red routes, construction diversions and strict loading-dock booking in new towers.
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. |

Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
I booked online last minute, as I needed a handyman urgently for the next day. When I called Hello Services, I spoke to Michelle and she was extremely helpful and arranged everything within 15 mins. Adam the handy man then came to fix my wardrobe sliding door, which were jammed and came off the ledge… Read in full →

Working in Elephant and Castle
3,233 households sit inside the SE17 neighbourhood covering Elephant and Castle. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 96% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (20% owned, 48% privately rented) means a SE17 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Elephant and Castle substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Elephant and Castle stock goes, the reality on the streets around Elephant Park is the mistake that costs a SE17 customer twice.
Elephant and Castle 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 — rebuilt junction of new towers, the university campus and the remains of the Heygate — which is why a SE17 quote is not a Southwark average.
On access, junction red routes, construction diversions and strict loading-dock booking in new towers — 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 Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink).

First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) starts at £55 in Elephant and Castle across SE17, with Southwark parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink), 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 on SE17 jobs — and a median age of 28 in this neighbourhood, with 3,233 households on this patch.
Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 across SE17, with 20% owner-occupation locally. In Elephant and Castle we usually meet often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map on the streets near Elephant Park, with this being a short walk from Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo, Thameslink) — and 34% one-person households here, 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 Elephant and Castle stock goes, the reality on the streets around Elephant Park.
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on the Elephant and Castle rounds, with 48% of SE17 homes being privately rented, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.
With 48% of Elephant and Castle homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly on this side of Southwark. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with 4% of Elephant and Castle homes being houses, and we can return at check-out to remove anything and make the wall good across SE17.
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 SE17 — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with Southwark parking rules in play, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Elephant and Castle SE17 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Southwark, with 96% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 48% of Elephant and Castle privately rented and 20% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE17 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Elephant Park — and Elephant Park a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Elephant Park is the marker we route to for Elephant and Castle (SE17) addresses, with 34% one-person households here, and junction red routes, construction diversions and strict loading-dock booking in new towers. A SE17 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SE17, with 20% owner-occupation locally.
