Ealing · UB6 · Mirror and artwork hanging
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Perivale fitters · Fixed written pricesPerivale UB6 is a regular stop on our Ealing round. The Art Deco Hoover Building, the golf course and 1930s semis along the Western Avenue, so mirror and artwork hanging here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, fixings rated above the weight and old holes made good.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Perivale, mirror and artwork hanging here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 36% of Perivale's 2,939 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB6 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
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in UB6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Ealing 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.
One fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Perivale (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

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 Perivale
Census 2021 puts Perivale at 2,939 households with a median age of 37.9. The inter-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 64% houses and 36% flats need different handling in UB6.
Owner-occupation runs at 53% in Perivale, so alongside the 40% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Perivale substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a UB6 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Perivale: the Art Deco Hoover Building, the golf course and 1930s semis along the Western Avenue. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Perivale is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest. Perivale (Central) 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.

Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Perivale across UB6, with 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 around Perivale (Central), with this being London Borough of Ealing territory.
Yes. In Perivale we meet some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on the streets near The Hoover Building on Western Avenue, with 2,939 households on this patch — and this being a short walk from Perivale (Central), so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on this side of Ealing — and this being London Borough of Ealing territory, with Ealing parking rules in play.
Often — with 36% of Perivale homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall in this 36% flats neighbourhood, with 53% owner-occupation locally. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
40% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly in this 36% flats neighbourhood. We fit a picture rail or track — two fixings, not twenty — and can return at check-out to remove it and fill the holes on Ealing bookings, with 64% of Perivale homes being houses.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record in Perivale, with 53% owner-occupation locally. That paperwork is what most Ealing letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Perivale (Central), with this being a short walk from Perivale (Central).
Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job; Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes; Hanging into asbestos insulating board in this 36% flats neighbourhood, with 36% of homes here being flats — and 8% social-rented stock nearby, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Perivale UB6 price you agree is the price you pay on Ealing bookings, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory.
All three. With 40% of Perivale privately rented and 53% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Perivale (UB6) addresses, with 53% owner-occupation locally — and 2,939 households on this patch.
