Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Earl's Court SW5, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Earl's Court SW5 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,241 households sit inside this SW5 patch, 97% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Earl's Court
Five steps, the same on every SW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW5, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — with 31% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Earl's Court customers book us
What follows is specific to Earl's Court: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kensington and Chelsea agents ask for.
Earl's Court walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SW5, often with surface conduit, which is what a 97% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Earl's Court actually produces in SW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Earl's Court stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record.
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. Dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Earl's Court
Fixed prices for SW5 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Earl's Court
The same scope across SW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Earl's Court: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, timed against the walk in from Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly)
- On SW5 jobs: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, agreed on the doorstep in Earl's Court before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, allowing for the 44% of SW5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old fixings removed and holes filled flush, noted on the Earl's Court job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, which we refer on to the right trade in Earl's Court
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW5
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, outside the fixed price on Earl's Court bookings

Working in Earl's Court
Earl's Court SW5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Earl's Court — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
In Earl's Court (SW5) the split is 97% flats to 3% houses over 3,241 households, and the stock is period conversion.
The renter-heavy mix here (25% owned, 44% privately rented) means a SW5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SW5, often with surface conduit, which is what a 97% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Earl's Court actually produces behind the plaster in SW5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Earl's Court stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment is the fault we are called back to undo.
Earl's Court sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — tall stucco terraces of flats and short lets around the former exhibition site — which is why a SW5 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
On access, dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift — 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 Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly).

Yes.

The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Earl's Court stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment on the Earl's Court rounds — and 25% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly).
