Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Petts Wood BR5, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Petts Wood, mirror and artwork hanging here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 8% of Petts Wood's 2,972 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, as the Petts Wood stock goes, and with 8% 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 Petts Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to Petts Wood: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Petts Wood, cavity brickwork outside — the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood.
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 Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. 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 Petts Wood
The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On BR5 jobs: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, agreed on the doorstep in Petts Wood before anything is unpacked
- In Petts Wood: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, timed against the walk in from Petts Wood (Southeastern)
- Laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, noted on the Petts Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bromley bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, allowing for the 8% of BR5 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, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR5
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, which we refer on to the right trade in Petts Wood
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
