Croydon · CR0 · Mirror and artwork hanging
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Addiscombe fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking mirror and artwork hanging near Ashburton Park? Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Walls are scanned for cables and pipes before anything is drilled.


Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Addiscombe CR0 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Croydon, most of them mainly Edwardian. 11,026 households sit inside this CR0 patch, 42% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ashburton Park rather than a London average.
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
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. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Addiscombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Ashburton Park.
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. |

Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
I booked online last minute, as I needed a handyman urgently for the next day. When I called Hello Services, I spoke to Michelle and she was extremely helpful and arranged everything within 15 mins. Adam the handy man then came to fix my wardrobe sliding door, which were jammed and came off the ledge… Read in full →

Working in Addiscombe
11,026 households sit inside the CR0 neighbourhood covering Addiscombe. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 42% of those homes are flats.
The mixed-tenure mix here (54% owned, 33% privately rented) means a CR0 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Addiscombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Addiscombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Ashburton Park.
Tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. That character decides the practical detail of mirror and artwork hanging here far more than the borough boundary does. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. Nearest station is Addiscombe (Tramlink), and one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.

The board never carries the weight.
