Overview
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for Beckton E6 specifically: post-war stock, 34% privately rented and 8,480 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
One fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Wide estate roads and off-street parking — among the easiest access in east London.
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Beckton (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Beckton Alps in E6, 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 on these streets — and with 24% one-person households in Beckton, 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.
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. |
