Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Elm Park RM12 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them inter-war. 6,250 households sit inside this RM12 patch, 17% of them flats, so we quote on access near Elm Park Broadway 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 in RM12, cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in RM12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM12, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 25% one-person households in Elm Park, 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. Wide roads and driveways; the Broadway has short loading bays.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Elm Park (District) is the nearest station, so a RM12 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. |
