Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Poplar E14, explained
This page prices all hanging and mounting services for Poplar E14 specifically: post-war stock, 32% privately rented and 10,832 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Poplar
Five steps, the same on every E14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Poplar customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Poplar wall.
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. Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, estate service roads and single-lift tower blocks.
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. All Saints (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Poplar walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Poplar actually produces in E14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Poplar gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Poplar
Fixed prices for E14 and the rest of Tower Hamlets. 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 Poplar
The same scope across E14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, allowing for the 32% of E14 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 Poplar job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Poplar: laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, timed against the walk in from All Saints (DLR)
- On E14 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, agreed on the doorstep in Poplar 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 Poplar bookings
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, and we will say so before the E14 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 Poplar

Poplar E14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Poplar — the numbers that actually change a all hanging and mounting services quote.
Poplar E14 is post-war and social-housing-led: 88% of homes here are flats and 12% are houses, across 10,832 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (22% owned, 32% privately rented) means a E14 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Poplar actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Poplar is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Poplar gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Post-war estates, Chrisp Street market and the Blackwall approach roads. That character decides the practical detail of all hanging and mounting services here far more than the borough boundary does. Poplar sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, estate service roads and single-lift tower blocks. All Saints (DLR) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 across E14, with 12% of Poplar homes being houses. In Poplar we usually meet often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 46% social-rented stock nearby, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Poplar actually produces on the streets near Chrisp Street Market and Balfron Tower, so a TV, a mirror and three shelves in one flat can each need a different fixing; the failure we undo most is Poplar gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and a median age of 29 in this neighbourhood, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Do you check for cables before drilling in E14?
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole in Poplar, with 27% one-person households here, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.
I rent in Poplar — will hanging things affect my deposit?
With 32% of Poplar homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly on Tower Hamlets bookings. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory, and we can return at check-out to remove anything and make the wall good in this 88% flats neighbourhood.
Do you handle difficult access in Poplar?
Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, estate service roads and single-lift tower blocks on Tower Hamlets bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Tower Hamlets it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Poplar — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in E14?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy item is photographed on its fixing for the job record across E14, with Chrisp Street Market and Balfron Tower a few streets away. That paperwork is what most Tower Hamlets letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around All Saints (DLR), with 12% of Poplar homes being houses.
What is not included in all hanging and mounting services in Poplar?
Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job; Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings — and 32% of E14 homes being privately rented, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, which is an electrician's job; Fixing into asbestos insulating board around All Saints (DLR), which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Poplar E14 price you agree is the price you pay in Poplar, with 88% of homes here being flats.
