Picture, Mirror, Curtain & Shelf Hanging in Hedge End: what actually matters here
A picture, mirror, curtain & shelf hanging booking in Hedge End covers Grange Park, Dowd's Farm and Shamblehurst on the same fixed price as the town centre — the crew works the whole SO30 and SO32 footprint rather than a narrow postcode.
Hedge End is a smaller town; the streets around The Hedge End retail parks beside the M27 junction, and the Georgian square at Botley just east are the ones where we most often check loading arrangements in advance.
About Hedge End
Hedge End is a modern town and it behaves like one. The overwhelming majority of the housing went up from the 1980s onwards at Grange Park, Dowd's Farm, Shamblehurst and Wildern, on layouts that assumed cars, so drives, garages and turning heads are the norm and access rarely limits a job.
What a picture, mirror, curtain & shelf hanging job includes
Hanging work — pictures, mirrors, curtain poles, blinds and shelves — is charged at the handyman hourly rate of £35 with a one-hour minimum and then in 30-minute blocks. Most of the skill is before the drill goes near the wall: what the wall is made of, what is buried in it, and what the fixing will hold once the item is loaded.
Before anything is drilled
- Wall build-up identified — solid brick, block, dot-and-dab, plasterboard on studs, or lath and plaster
- Cable and pipe detection across the full drilling zone, not just the marked point
- Weight checked against the fixing and the wall, with a load judgement before work starts
- Positions marked, levelled and shown to you for sign-off while they can still be moved
Fixing
- Anchor matched to the wall type — toggles or metal anchors in plasterboard, frame fixings into masonry
- Studs and noggins located and used where the load justifies it
- Curtain poles bracketed at the right centres so long spans do not sag, blinds face or top fixed to suit the recess
- Shelves levelled along their length and squared to the wall rather than to the skirting
- Mirrors and heavy frames fitted on their manufacturer's hardware, or on a cleat where the supplied hooks are not adequate
Finishing
- Every item loaded and tested before we leave — poles hung with the curtains on, shelves weighted
- Dust caught at the hole, spare fixings bagged and left with you
- Anything we judged unsafe to fit explained, with the alternative we would use
What changes the price on a picture, mirror, curtain & shelf hanging job
- Wall type decides everything. Plasterboard with nothing behind it will not carry a heavy mirror on ordinary plugs; if the wall will not hold what you want, we offer the fixing that will.
- Lath and plaster crumbles if it is drilled fast and dry, so the fixing sometimes moves a few centimetres to catch a lath.
- Cables and pipes run in predictable zones, but rewires often ignore them. We scan first every time and move the fixing where a reading is ambiguous.
- Bay windows and out-of-square reveals make pole and blind work longer than a straight run of the same width.

Handyman reviews across the UK
I had a huge, heavy Ikea, mirrored wardrobe to re-assemble. Adam was very polite, carefully got on with the job (without instruction guide); gave me helpful tips and also repaired some of the parts that had got broken over time. I thought this company was very professional and would certainly recommend.
Used this company for assembly of a pair of sliding mirrored IKEA doors on a cupboard. I normally enjoy my DIY and assemble things myself but these are very complex and tricky to put together, especially if you are on your own. The guys arrived on time, were friendly & polite, they assembled the doors… Read in full →
Adam and his friend assembled the wardrobe in no time and without any fuss, highly recommended.

Hedge End questions, answered.
How quickly can you book picture, mirror, curtain & shelf hanging in Hedge End?
Same-week slots are standard in Hedge End, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Hampshire, so book those a week or two ahead.
Can you hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard wall?
Usually yes, with a metal toggle or a fixing into the stud behind. We check the wall build-up and the weight first and tell you what we would use. If the wall genuinely will not carry it, we say so rather than leaving you with the risk.
How do you avoid drilling into a cable or a pipe?
Every position is scanned before work starts, across the whole zone rather than the single marked point, and we move the fixing where the reading is unclear.
How long does a set of pictures take?
A single picture on a straightforward wall is inside the one-hour minimum. A gallery wall of eight to twelve frames typically takes two to three hours, because the layout is levelled as a group before anything is fixed. Old brackets, poles and shelves come down in the same visit, and curtains and blinds are hung and tested, not just bracketed.
