Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for Shortlands and Hayes BR2 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 24% privately rented and 3,676 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 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 Shortlands and Hayes
The same scope across BR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, with 3,676 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, checked on every BR2 visit
- In Shortlands and Hayes: laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, sized for the driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak
- On BR2 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, mirror and artwork hanging prices included
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, and we will say so before the BR2 visit rather than on the day
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR2

Working in Shortlands and Hayes
Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
Shortlands and Hayes BR2 is mainly Edwardian and owner-occupier-led: 52% of homes here are flats and 48% are houses, across 3,676 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 24% of Shortlands and Hayes is privately rented and 7% socially rented, a lot of BR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Shortlands and Hayes substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a BR2 customer twice.
Leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby. That character decides the practical detail of mirror and artwork hanging here far more than the borough boundary does. Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Nearest station is Shortlands (Southeastern), and one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.
