Harrow · HA3 · Mirror and artwork hanging
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kenton fitters · Fixed written pricesMirror and artwork hanging in Kenton HA3, Harrow, from £45. Uniform interwar semis between Harrow and Wembley, quiet and residential, which is why our HA3 quotes account for easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Kenton HA3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Harrow, most of them inter-war. 6,923 households sit inside this HA3 patch, 16% of them flats, so we quote on access near Kenton Recreation Ground 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
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in HA3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 16% one-person households in Kenton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a HA3 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.

Expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in HA3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in HA3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 16% one-person households in Kenton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.

Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Kenton across HA3, with 16% of homes here being flats, 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 on the streets near Kenton Recreation Ground, with Harrow parking rules in play.
Yes. In Kenton we meet timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in Kenton — and 6,923 households on this patch, so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs, with 8% social-rented stock nearby, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is in HA3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 16% one-person households in Kenton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site on the streets near Kenton Recreation Ground — and 66% owner-occupation locally, with Kenton Recreation Ground a few streets away.
Often — with 16% of Kenton homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall in this 16% flats neighbourhood, with 26% of HA3 homes being privately rented. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
26% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly in Kenton. We fit a picture rail or track — two fixings, not twenty — and can return at check-out to remove it and fill the holes for Kenton (HA3) addresses, with 16% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 26% of Kenton privately rented and 66% owner-occupied, roughly half the HA3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Harrow bookings — and 84% of Kenton homes being houses, with 26% of HA3 homes being privately rented.
Kenton Recreation Ground is the marker we route to around Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground), with this being a short walk from Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground), and easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street.
