Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Crayford DA1, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Crayford DA1 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them mainly Victorian. 9,135 households sit inside this DA1 patch, 28% of them flats, so we quote on access near Crayford Greyhound Stadium rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Crayford
Five steps, the same on every DA1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In DA1, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Crayford customers book us
What follows is specific to Crayford: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bexley agents ask for.
Crayford walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Crayford
Fixed prices for DA1 and the rest of Bexley. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Crayford
The same scope across DA1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Crayford: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, timed against the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern)
- On DA1 jobs: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, agreed on the doorstep in Crayford before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Bexley bookings: laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, allowing for the 16% of DA1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old fixings removed and holes filled flush, noted on the Crayford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, which we refer on to the right trade in Crayford
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA1

Working in Crayford
Crayford DA1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Crayford — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
Crayford DA1 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 28% of homes here are flats and 72% are houses, across 9,135 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 16% private renting against 57% owner-occupied, most DA1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Crayford substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a DA1 customer twice.
Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border — which is why a DA1 quote is not a Bexley average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.
