Overview
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for Primrose Hill NW1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 32% privately rented and 3,616 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
One fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Chalk Farm (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Primrose Hill, often with surface conduit — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
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 Primrose Hill
Census 2021 puts Primrose Hill at 3,616 households with a median age of 37.8. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 20% houses and 80% flats need different handling in NW1.
32% of households rent privately and 35% own, which is why mirror and artwork hanging demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Primrose Hill, often with surface conduit — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Primrose Hill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Primrose Hill knows the pattern near Primrose Hill summit: pastel terraces around the hill with the best skyline view in north London. We plan the NW1 visit around it. Primrose Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace — 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 Chalk Farm (Northern).

Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Primrose Hill on this side of Camden, with 33% social-rented stock nearby — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Weight and wall type set the price: dot-and-dab, lath and steel lintels each need a different anchor in Primrose Hill, with 35% owner-occupation locally.
Yes. In Primrose Hill we meet precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Primrose Hill, often with surface conduit — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on Camden bookings, so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs — and 35% owner-occupation locally, with 3,616 households on this patch, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses — and 3,616 households on this patch, with this being London Borough of Camden territory.
Often — with 80% of Primrose Hill homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall on Camden bookings, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
32% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly on the Primrose Hill rounds. We fit a picture rail or track — two fixings, not twenty — and can return at check-out to remove it and fill the holes for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses, with 43% one-person households here.
All three. With 32% of Primrose Hill privately rented and 35% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses — and 20% of Primrose Hill homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Camden territory.
Primrose Hill summit is the marker we route to for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses, with 32% of NW1 homes being privately rented, and very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace. A NW1 slot added to an existing Camden round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Primrose Hill summit, with this being a short walk from Chalk Farm (Northern).
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings on Camden bookings. Primrose Hill sits close to Chalk Farm (Northern) on the streets near Primrose Hill summit, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a NW1 job to an existing Camden round at short notice.
