Mirror and artwork hanging in West Kensington and Olympia W14, explained
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for West Kensington and Olympia W14 specifically: post-war stock, 47% privately rented and 4,112 households in total.

How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in West Kensington and Olympia
Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and with 41% one-person households in West Kensington and Olympia, 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 West Kensington and Olympia customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a West Kensington and Olympia wall.
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. Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,112 households inside the W14 neighbourhood in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is West Kensington and Olympia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in West Kensington and Olympia
Fixed prices for W14 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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 West Kensington and Olympia
The same scope across W14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, allowing for the 47% of W14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, noted on the West Kensington and Olympia job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In West Kensington and Olympia: laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, timed against the walk in from Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground)
- On W14 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, agreed on the doorstep in West Kensington and Olympia before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, outside the fixed price on West Kensington and Olympia bookings
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, and we will say so before the W14 visit rather than on the day
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in West Kensington and Olympia
