Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Custom House E16, explained
This page prices mirror and artwork hanging for Custom House E16 specifically: post-war stock, 24% privately rented and 3,330 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
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Custom House customers book us
Four things decide whether a E16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Booked around your day
Most slots are within 48 hours, with evenings and Saturdays for restricted buildings. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Mirror and artwork hanging prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Newham bookings: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, arranged with London Borough of Newham where the kerb needs it
- Fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors — including mirror and artwork hanging
- In Custom House: laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, the way it is done on Custom House jobs
- On E16 jobs: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, with 50% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a mirror and artwork hanging quote.
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
With 24% private renting against 26% owner-occupied, most E16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of mirror and artwork hanging here far more than the borough boundary does. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, 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 Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does mirror and artwork hanging cost in Custom House E16?
Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Custom House, with 26% one-person households here — and Newham parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.

Can you hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard wall in Custom House E16?
Yes. In Custom House we meet precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the mirror goes onto a French cleat spanning two studs on the Custom House rounds, with 3,330 households on this patch — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, or through-fixes to the masonry behind. The board never carries the weight. The failure we undo most here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Newham territory — and 26% owner-occupation locally, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

Often — with 50% of Custom House homes being flats, smaller frames are the usual way to fill a wall on Newham bookings, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away. 5 hours from £140, templated before drilling.
I rent in E16 — can you hang things without damaging the wall?
24% of homes here are privately rented, so this comes up weekly in Custom House. We fit a picture rail or track — two fixings, not twenty — and can return at check-out to remove it and fill the holes on Newham bookings, with 50% of homes here being flats.

In Custom House, construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts in this 50% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Newham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Newham bookings, with 3,330 households on this patch. Ask for it in writing before the E16 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Are your fitters insured for work in E16?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every heavy mirror is photographed on its fixing for the job record for Custom House (E16) addresses, with 3,330 households on this patch. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Custom House rounds, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in mirror and artwork hanging in Custom House?
Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job; Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes; Hanging into asbestos insulating board on the Custom House rounds — and this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 49% social-rented stock nearby, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay for Custom House (E16) addresses, with 26% one-person households here.
