Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Catford SE6, explained
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for Catford SE6 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,981 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Catford stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Catford customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE6 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. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE6 jobs: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, with 62% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Catford: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, the way it is done on Catford jobs
- Laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa — including local mirror and artwork hanging
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in Catford

Catford SE6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Catford — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
Census 2021 puts Catford at 6,981 households with a median age of 35.2. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 38% houses and 62% flats need different handling in SE6.
Owner-occupation runs at 42% in Catford, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Catford substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE6 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Catford knows the pattern near The Catford Cat: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. We plan the SE6 visit around it. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Nearest station is Catford (Southeastern), 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 Catford SE6 — your questions.
How much does mirror and artwork hanging cost in Catford SE6?
Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Catford on the Catford rounds, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, 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 Lewisham bookings, with 62% of homes here being flats.
Can you hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard wall in Catford SE6?
Yes. In Catford we meet with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here across SE6, with 62% of homes here being flats, 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map on SE6 jobs — and 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, with 33% one-person households here.
Do you hang gallery walls in Catford?
Often — with 62% of Catford homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall on this side of Lewisham, with 25% social-rented stock nearby. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
I rent in SE6 — can you hang things without damaging the wall?
33% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly on the Catford rounds. We fit a picture rail or track — two fixings, not twenty — and can return at check-out to remove it and fill the holes for Catford (SE6) addresses, with 38% of Catford homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening mirror and artwork hanging available in Lewisham?
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings in Catford. Catford sits close to Catford (Southeastern), with Lewisham parking rules in play, so we can usually add a SE6 job to an existing Lewisham round at short notice on Lewisham bookings.
Do you handle difficult access in Catford?
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind in Catford. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lewisham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Catford (SE6) addresses — and this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE6?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record on this side of Lewisham, with 42% owner-occupation locally. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across SE6, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern).
