London mirror and artwork hanging · West London
Mirror and artwork hanging across Richmond upon Thames, from SW13, SW14 and SW15 outwards. The only borough on both banks — Richmond Park and Hill, Twickenham rugby, Kew Gardens and riverside Barnes, 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 Richmond upon Thames
The stock in Richmond upon Thames is georgian and victorian villas, edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions, and the mix changes street by street — Barnes (SW13), Hampton and Hampton Hill (TW12) and Hampton Wick (TW11) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict cpzs in richmond and twickenham. Locally that means narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and boat race day closures and riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere. Richmond upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Most flats in Richmond upon Thames are leasehold, and managing agents here routinely ask for a public liability certificate and a method note before a contractor drills anything. We send both with the booking confirmation.
Richmond upon Thames took its present shape because royal palaces at richmond and hampton court set the tone; georgian and victorian villas followed the river and the railway.
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.

Framed picture up to 10kg starts at £45 in Richmond upon Thames, and the ladder runs up to £110 for the largest job on the table above.

Yes. Georgian and Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions 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.
