Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Northwood HA6 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Harrow, most of them period conversion. 7,999 households sit inside this HA6 patch, 38% of them flats, so we quote on access near Northwood Golf Club 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 cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in HA6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA6, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. Long driveways and gated entrances; roads are wide and easy for a Luton.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Northwood (Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a HA6 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. |

Scope
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 Northwood
Walk Northwood from Northwood Golf Club outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 38% of the 7,999 households in HA6 live in flats, 62% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 60% in Northwood, so alongside the 25% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Northwood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in HA6, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Northwood: affluent Metroland suburb of large houses, private schools and golf courses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Northwood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, long driveways and gated entrances; roads are wide and easy for a Luton — one reason one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Northwood (Metropolitan).

Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Northwood on Harrow bookings, with 62% of Northwood homes being houses, 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 in this 38% flats neighbourhood, with 16% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes. In Northwood we meet cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does across HA6, with 38% of homes here being flats, so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs — and 60% owner-occupation locally, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is in HA6, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first on HA6 jobs, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
Often — with 38% of Northwood homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall on the streets near Northwood Golf Club, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
25% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly on this side of Harrow. We fit a picture rail or track — two fixings, not twenty — and can return at check-out to remove it and fill the holes in this 38% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Northwood (Metropolitan).
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record on Harrow bookings, with 29% one-person households here. That paperwork is what most Harrow letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 38% flats neighbourhood, with 7,999 households on this patch. Near Northwood Golf Club that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
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 on this side of Harrow — and Northwood Golf Club a few streets away, with 29% one-person households here, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Northwood HA6 price you agree is the price you pay on HA6 jobs, with Harrow parking rules in play.
All three. With 25% of Northwood privately rented and 60% owner-occupied, roughly half the HA6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Northwood (HA6) addresses, with 25% of HA6 homes being privately rented.
