London mirror and artwork hanging · South London
We work in Bexley every week — suburban south-east london by the thames — bexleyheath's shops, sidcup's semis and erith's riverside. Mirror and artwork hanging is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices
| 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. |

Working in Bexley
Bexley is built from 1930s semis with driveways, post-war estates at thamesmead and riverside new-build at erith, and the mix changes street by street — Belvedere (DA17), Bexley Village (DA5) and Bexleyheath (DA6) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, straightforward van access and off-street parking; only bexleyheath broadway needs timed loading. Locally that means wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic and narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. Bexley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Leases across Bexley restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.
Bexley took its present shape because kentish farmland built over between the wars once the dartford loop and bexleyheath lines opened.
Scope
Method
Step 1
The piece is weighed and the wall sounded — solid, stud, dot-and-dab or lath — because that decides the fixing.
Step 2
Cables and pipes traced before drilling; shallow chases behind switches are the usual London hazard.
Step 3
Centre set at eye line, lower over a mantel or headboard, marked with a laser rather than a guess.
Step 4
Cleat, D-rings or a track fitted, the piece lifted on and checked level end to end.
Step 5
Old holes filled, dust vacuumed, packaging taken away.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Brackets fixed into the right substrate, cables chased or trunked, screen levelled.
Floating and bracketed shelving into plaster, brick, stud and dot-and-dab.

Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Bexley, and the ladder runs up to £110 for the largest job on the table above. Weight and wall type set the price: dot-and-dab, lath and steel lintels each need a different anchor. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: DA1, DA14, DA15, DA16, DA17, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8 and SE2 and the rest of the Bexley outward codes. On the ground that includes Belvedere, Bexley Village, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Erith and Sidcup.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Straightforward van access and off-street parking; only Bexleyheath Broadway needs timed loading. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Bexley and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis with driveways, post-war estates at Thamesmead and riverside new-build at Erith is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Bexley tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Bexley postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes and Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor. If something on that list turns up in Bexley, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
