Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Collier Row RM5, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Collier Row RM5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them post-war. 3,167 households sit inside this RM5 patch, 12% of them flats, so we quote on access near Collier Row Lane parade rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Collier Row
Five steps, the same on every RM5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Collier Row stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Collier Row customers book us
Four things decide whether a RM5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Collier Row walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Collier Row Lane parade in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and with 23% one-person households in Collier Row, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Collier Row
Fixed prices for RM5 and the rest of Havering. 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 Collier Row
The same scope across RM5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On RM5 jobs: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, local mirror and artwork hanging included
- In Collier Row: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, sized for the wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading
- Laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, checked on every RM5 visit
- Standard on Havering bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, with 3,167 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, and we will say so before the RM5 visit rather than on the day
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, outside the fixed price on Collier Row bookings
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in RM5

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Collier Row — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
Census 2021 puts Collier Row at 3,167 households with a median age of 38.9. The post-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in RM5.
Private renting sits at 14% and owner-occupation at 74%; the first group books mirror and artwork hanging at short notice, the second plans it.
Collier Row substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Collier Row Lane parade. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and with 23% one-person households in Collier Row, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a RM5 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Collier Row knows the pattern near Collier Row Lane parade: a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade. We plan the RM5 visit around it. Collier Row 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: wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. Romford (Elizabeth line) 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.

Common questions
Mirror and artwork hanging in Collier Row RM5 — your questions.
How much does mirror and artwork hanging cost in Collier Row RM5?
Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Collier Row on RM5 jobs — and Collier Row Lane parade a few streets away, with 12% 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 Collier Row rounds, with Havering parking rules in play.
Can you hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard wall in Collier Row RM5?
Yes. In Collier Row we meet some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Collier Row Lane parade in Collier Row, with 23% one-person households here — and this being London Borough of Havering territory, 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 fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and with 23% one-person households in Collier Row, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in this 12% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line), with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
Do you hang gallery walls in Collier Row?
Often — with 12% of Collier Row homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall on Havering bookings, with 12% of homes here being flats. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
I rent in RM5 — can you hang things without damaging the wall?
14% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly around Romford (Elizabeth line). 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 Collier Row, with 3,167 households on this patch.
Who books mirror and artwork hanging in Collier Row RM5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 14% of Collier Row privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the RM5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Collier Row rounds — and this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line), with 12% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach Collier Row from your Havering round?
Collier Row Lane parade is the marker we route to in Collier Row, with 12% of homes here being flats, and wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. A RM5 slot added to an existing Havering round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Havering, with this being London Borough of Havering territory.
Is same-day or evening mirror and artwork hanging available in Havering?
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings around Romford (Elizabeth line). Collier Row sits close to Romford (Elizabeth line) in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 12% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a RM5 job to an existing Havering round at short notice.
