London mirror and artwork hanging · South London
Mirror and artwork hanging across Kingston upon Thames, from KT1, KT2 and KT3 outwards. Riverside market town with a big retail centre, plus Surbiton's Art Deco station and New Malden's Korean high street, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |

Working in Kingston upon Thames
The stock in Kingston upon Thames is victorian and edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, riverside apartments and surbiton mansion flats, and the mix changes street by street — Chessington (KT9), Kingston town centre (KT1) and Kingston Vale and Coombe (KT2) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: one-way system and pedestrianised centre in kingston, riverside loading limits, driveways in surbiton and chessington. Locally that means wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout and pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road. Kingston upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Leases across Kingston upon Thames restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.
Kingston upon Thames took its present shape because saxon kings were crowned here; the market and the bridge kept it prosperous long before the railway made surbiton a commuter town.
Scope
Method
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.

Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, riverside apartments and Surbiton mansion flats is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
