Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Shadwell E1, explained
All hanging and mounting services in Shadwell E1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Tower Hamlets, most of them post-war. 5,744 households sit inside this E1 patch, 92% of them flats, so we quote on access near Shadwell Basin rather than a London average.
How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Shadwell
Five steps, the same on every E1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — and with 32% one-person households in Shadwell, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Shadwell customers book us
Four things decide whether a E1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. The Highway red route, cycle-superhighway kerb build-outs and estate lift booking.
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. Shadwell (DLR, Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Shadwell walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Shadwell gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
All hanging and mounting services prices in Shadwell
Fixed prices for E1 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 Shadwell
The same scope across E1, 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 34% of E1 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 Shadwell job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Shadwell: laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, timed against the walk in from Shadwell (DLR, Overground)
- On E1 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, agreed on the doorstep in Shadwell before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, and we will say so before the E1 visit rather than on the day
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E1
