Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Cricklewood NW2, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Cricklewood NW2 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Brent, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,362 households sit inside this NW2 patch, 74% of them flats, so we quote on access near Cricklewood Broadway rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Cricklewood
Five steps, the same on every NW2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Cricklewood stock goes, the reality on the streets around Cricklewood Broadway 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 Cricklewood customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Cricklewood wall.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Cricklewood (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cricklewood walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cricklewood actually produces in NW2, 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 — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Cricklewood
Fixed prices for NW2 and the rest of Brent. 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 Cricklewood
The same scope across NW2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On NW2 jobs: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, agreed on the doorstep in Cricklewood before anything is unpacked
- In Cricklewood: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, timed against the walk in from Cricklewood (Thameslink)
- Laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, noted on the Cricklewood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Brent bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, allowing for the 47% of NW2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, outside the fixed price on Cricklewood bookings
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW2
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in Cricklewood

Cricklewood NW2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Cricklewood — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
The NW2 stock around Cricklewood Broadway is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 74% flats, 26% houses and 4,362 households in Cricklewood.
47% of households rent privately and 34% own, which is why mirror and artwork hanging demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Cricklewood substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cricklewood actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a NW2 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Cricklewood knows the pattern near Cricklewood Broadway: broadway shops on the A5, with Edwardian terraces and the Brent Cross works beyond. We plan the NW2 visit around it. Cricklewood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, a5 red route, permit bays and terraced streets with tight parking — one reason one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Cricklewood (Thameslink).

Can you hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard wall in Cricklewood NW2?

In Cricklewood we meet with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cricklewood actually produces in this 74% flats neighbourhood, with 34% owner-occupation locally — and 4,362 households on this patch, so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight.
