Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in South Croydon CR2, explained
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for South Croydon CR2 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 3,637 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in South Croydon
Five steps, the same on every CR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the South Croydon stock goes, and with 30% 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 South Croydon customers book us
What follows is specific to South Croydon: its walls, its access and the paperwork Croydon agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. South Croydon (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
South Croydon walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — measured on the walk in from South Croydon (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in CR2, 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, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,637 households inside the CR2 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 South Croydon
Fixed prices for CR2 and the rest of Croydon. 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 South Croydon
The same scope across CR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On CR2 jobs: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, mirror and artwork hanging included
- In South Croydon: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, sized for the steep hills, narrow victorian frontages and driveways further out
- Laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, checked on every CR2 visit
- Standard on Croydon bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, with 3,637 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, and we will say so before the CR2 visit rather than on the day
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, outside the fixed price on South Croydon bookings

South Croydon CR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers South Croydon — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
The CR2 stock around Croham Hurst woods is mainly Victorian. ONS records 47% flats, 53% houses and 3,637 households in South Croydon.
30% of households rent privately and 60% own, which is why mirror and artwork hanging demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
South Croydon substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — measured on the walk in from South Croydon (Southern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,637 households inside the CR2 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a CR2 customer twice.
Anyone who knows South Croydon knows the pattern near Croham Hurst woods: victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond. We plan the CR2 visit around it. South Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. Nearest station is South Croydon (Southern), and one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.
