Overview
Mirror and artwork hanging in Surrey Quays SE16, explained
Mirror and artwork hanging in Surrey Quays SE16 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Southwark, most of them recent new-build. 4,588 households sit inside this SE16 patch, 76% of them flats, so we quote on access near Greenland Dock rather than a London average.
How it works
How mirror and artwork hanging works in Surrey Quays
Five steps, the same on every SE16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Surrey Quays stock goes, the reality on the streets around Greenland Dock 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 Surrey Quays customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE16 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. Surrey Quays (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Surrey Quays walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE16, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Surrey Quays actually produces in SE16, 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 — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Surrey Quays
Fixed prices for SE16 and the rest of Southwark. 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 Surrey Quays
The same scope across SE16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE16 jobs: detector sweep for cables and pipes before any hole is drilled, mirror and artwork hanging included
- In Surrey Quays: fixings rated for the actual weight — cleats, toggles, resin or masonry anchors, sized for the wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots
- Laser level check and height set against eye line, not the sofa, checked on every SE16 visit
- Standard on Southwark bookings: old fixings removed and holes filled flush, with 4,588 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Replacing broken glass or reframing — that is a framer's job, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural work, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, and we will say so before the SE16 visit rather than on the day
- Hanging into asbestos insulating board, which needs a licensed contractor, outside the fixed price on Surrey Quays bookings

Private renting sits at 41% and owner-occupation at 36%; the first group books mirror and artwork hanging at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE16, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Surrey Quays actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Surrey Quays is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Surrey Quays knows the pattern near Greenland Dock: retail park, Greenland Dock moorings and quiet dockland streets. We plan the SE16 visit around it. Surrey Quays sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots — one reason one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.
