Crew sized to the job

Southwark · SE16 · All hanging and mounting services
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Rotherhithe fitters · Fixed written pricesAll hanging and mounting services in Rotherhithe SE16, Southwark, from £55. River peninsula of dock basins, the Mayflower pub and 1980s dockland housing, which is why our SE16 quotes account for peninsula road loops, tunnel approach restrictions and gated riverside estates. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.


Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Rotherhithe SE16 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Southwark, most of them recent new-build. 3,735 households sit inside this SE16 patch, 66% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower rather than a London average.
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
One fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Peninsula road loops, tunnel approach restrictions and gated riverside estates.
Most slots are within 48 hours, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked. Rotherhithe (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Rotherhithe (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in SE16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
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. |

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

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 Rotherhithe
Walk Rotherhithe from The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower outwards and the recent new-build pattern is obvious: 66% of the 3,735 households in SE16 live in flats, 34% in houses.
41% of households rent privately and 40% own, which is why all hanging and mounting services demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Rotherhithe substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Rotherhithe (Overground) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower is the mistake that costs a SE16 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Rotherhithe knows the pattern near The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower: river peninsula of dock basins, the Mayflower pub and 1980s dockland housing. We plan the SE16 visit around it. Rotherhithe sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, peninsula road loops, tunnel approach restrictions and gated riverside estates — 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 Rotherhithe (Overground).

First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) starts at £55 in Rotherhithe in this 66% flats neighbourhood — and 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented, with 40% owner-occupation locally, 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 the Rotherhithe rounds — and 66% of homes here being flats, with 34% of Rotherhithe homes being houses.
Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 for Rotherhithe (SE16) addresses, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory. In Rotherhithe we usually meet dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Rotherhithe (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood — and 19% social-rented stock nearby, so a TV, a mirror and three shelves in one flat can each need a different fixing; the failure we undo most is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower.
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on the streets near The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower, with 34% of Rotherhithe homes being houses, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.
With 41% of Rotherhithe homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly in this 66% flats neighbourhood. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented, and we can return at check-out to remove anything and make the wall good on Southwark bookings.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Rotherhithe (Overground). That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Southwark, with 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented.
Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job; Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, with 34% of Rotherhithe homes being houses, which is an electrician's job; Fixing into asbestos insulating board in this 66% flats neighbourhood — and 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Rotherhithe SE16 price you agree is the price you pay on Southwark bookings, with The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower a few streets away.
All three. With 41% of Rotherhithe privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 66% flats neighbourhood — and 40% owner-occupation locally, with 19% social-rented stock nearby.
