Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Colindale NW9, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Colindale NW9 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Barnet, most of them inter-war. 7,659 households sit inside this NW9 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Colindale
Five steps, the same on every NW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Colindale stock goes, and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Weigh and read the wall
The piece is weighed and the wall sounded — solid, stud, dot-and-dab or lath — because that decides the fixing.
Step 2
Detector sweep
Cables and pipes traced before drilling; shallow chases behind switches are the usual London hazard.
Step 3
Set the height
Centre set at eye line, lower over a mantel or headboard, marked with a laser rather than a guess.
Step 4
Fix and hang
Cleat, D-rings or a track fitted, the piece lifted on and checked level end to end.
Step 5
Make good and clear up
Old holes filled, dust vacuumed, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Colindale customers book us
What follows is specific to Colindale: its walls, its access and the paperwork Barnet agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Colindale (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Colindale walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Colindale, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Colindale (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in NW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 30% one-person households in Colindale, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Colindale
Fixed prices for NW9 and the rest of Barnet. Weight and wall type set the price: dot-and-dab, lath and steel lintels each need a different anchor.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Framed picture up to 10kg | £45 | 15–30 min | One fixing, but the wall is scanned first — London plaster hides shallow pipes and cables. |
| Additional piece, same visit | £20 | 10–20 min | Call-out, sweep and dust sheets are already paid for on the first item. |
| Mirror 10–30kg | £65 | 30–50 min | Two-point fixing into something structural, then a laser check across the width. |
| Overmantel or full-length mirror above 30kg | £95 | 45–90 min | Plate glass needs a cleat rated well above the weight and two people to lift it. |
| Gallery wall, 5–9 pieces | £140 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Set out on the floor and templated on the wall before a hole goes in. |
| Rail or track hanging system, per 2m | £110 | 1–1.5 hrs | A track spreads the load and lets tenants rehang without new holes. |
