City of London · EC2 · Mirror and artwork hanging
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Liverpool Street fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mirror and artwork hanging in Liverpool Street EC2? We work in Liverpool Street most weeks — commuter gateway with Broadgate offices on one side and Spitalfields market on the other — and price mirror and artwork hanging against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, fixings rated above the weight and old holes made good.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Liverpool Street, mirror and artwork hanging here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 98% of Liverpool Street's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC2 shape the slot length we hold.
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
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a EC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in EC2, 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, as the Liverpool Street stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
One fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled.
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 Liverpool Street
In Liverpool Street (EC2) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is period conversion.
Because 48% of Liverpool Street is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Liverpool Street substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Liverpool Street stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a EC2 customer twice.
Liverpool Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — commuter gateway with Broadgate offices on one side and Spitalfields market on the other — which is why a EC2 quote is not a City of London average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled. Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) 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.

Yes. In Liverpool Street we meet with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and 51% one-person households here, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs on the Liverpool Street rounds, with 15% social-rented stock nearby, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Liverpool Street stock goes on the streets near Broadgate Circle — and 4,914 households on this patch, with Broadgate Circle a few streets away, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
