Overview
All hanging and mounting services in Paddington W2, explained

How it works
How all hanging and mounting services works in Paddington
Five steps, the same on every W2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Paddington stock goes, the reality on the streets around Paddington Basin and Little Venice 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 Paddington customers book us
Four things decide whether a W2 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. Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a W2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Paddington walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W2, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Paddington actually produces in W2, 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 — and with 45% one-person households in Paddington, 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 Paddington
Fixed prices for W2 and the rest of Westminster. 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 Paddington
The same scope across W2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On W2 jobs: cable and pipe detector sweep once per room before any hole is drilled, local all hanging and mounting services included
- In Paddington: wall read for solid brick, dot-and-dab, lath-and-plaster or stud, with the fixing matched to it, sized for the basin estate loading bays, red routes on bishop's bridge road and stucco terraces with basement steps
- Laser level check on every item before the final fixing goes in, checked on every W2 visit
- Standard on Westminster bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush where an item is being replaced, with 3,981 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Cutting or replacing glass, framing or mirror resilvering — that is a glazier's job, and we will say so before the W2 visit rather than on the day
- Drilling into lath-and-plaster ceilings for light fittings, which is an electrician's job, outside the fixed price on Paddington bookings
- Fixing into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W2

Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W2, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Paddington actually produces behind the plaster in W2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 45% one-person households in Paddington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.

Common questions
All hanging and mounting services in Paddington W2 — your questions.
How much does all hanging and mounting services cost in Paddington W2?
First item, any type (TV, mirror, shelf or pole) starts at £55 in Paddington — and 30% owner-occupation locally, with Westminster parking rules in play, 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 streets near Paddington Basin and Little Venice — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with this being Westminster City Council territory.
Can you do a whole room of hanging and mounting in one visit in Paddington W2?
Yes — the first item is £55 and each further item on the same visit is £25 in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with 45% one-person households here. In Paddington we usually meet dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W2 around Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail), with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Paddington actually produces, with Westminster parking rules in play — and 87% of homes here being flats, 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 — and with 45% one-person households in Paddington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Do you check for cables before drilling in W2?
On every wall, every item. It is a full sweep per room rather than per hole on this side of Westminster, with 87% of homes here being flats, which is why bundling items into one visit is cheaper than booking them separately. Westminster City Council rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
I rent in Paddington — will hanging things affect my deposit?
With 54% of Paddington homes privately rented, we get asked this weekly for Paddington (W2) addresses. Minimal fixings, filled and sanded on request, with 30% owner-occupation locally, and we can return at check-out to remove anything and make the wall good on the streets near Paddington Basin and Little Venice.
Who books all hanging and mounting services in Paddington W2 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 54% of Paddington privately rented and 30% owner-occupied, roughly half the W2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Westminster bookings — and 13% of Paddington homes being houses, with Westminster parking rules in play.
How quickly can you reach Paddington from your Westminster round?
Paddington Basin and Little Venice is the marker we route to for Paddington (W2) addresses, with 16% social-rented stock nearby, and basin estate loading bays, red routes on Bishop's Bridge Road and stucco terraces with basement steps. A W2 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Paddington Basin and Little Venice, with 13% of Paddington homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening all hanging and mounting services available in Westminster?
Most slots are within 48 hours, with Paddington Basin and Little Venice a few streets away, and move-in day bookings are held to arrive before the removal van if asked on W2 jobs. Paddington sits close to Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) on this side of Westminster, with 13% of Paddington homes being houses — and 87% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a W2 job to an existing Westminster round at short notice.
