Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Northolt UB5, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Northolt UB5 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Ealing, most of them inter-war. 9,850 households sit inside this UB5 patch, 48% of them flats, so we quote on access near Northala Fields rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Northolt
Five steps, the same on every UB5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — and with 23% one-person households in Northolt, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Northolt customers book us
What follows is specific to Northolt: its walls, its access and the paperwork Ealing agents ask for.
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. Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Northolt (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Northolt walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in UB5, 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 reality on the streets around Northala Fields.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Northolt
Fixed prices for UB5 and the rest of Ealing. 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 Northolt
The same scope across UB5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Ealing bookings: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, arranged with London Borough of Ealing where the kerb needs it
- Fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors — including local mirror and artwork hanging
- In Northolt: laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, the way it is done on Northolt jobs
- On UB5 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, with 48% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, which we refer on to the right trade in Northolt
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, quoted separately if you need it arranged in UB5
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, and we will say so before the UB5 visit rather than on the day

Working in Northolt
Northolt UB5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Northolt — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
Northolt UB5 is inter-war and mixed-tenure: 48% of homes here are flats and 52% are houses, across 9,850 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (46% owned, 26% privately rented) means a UB5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Northolt substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. 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 reality on the streets around Northala Fields is the mistake that costs a UB5 customer twice.
The aerodrome, Northala Fields' pyramid mounds and post-war estate housing. That character decides the practical detail of mirror and artwork hanging here far more than the borough boundary does. Northolt is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. Nearest station is Northolt (Central), and one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.
