01. Qualified specialists
Our qualified technicians work across residential homes, offices, commercial spaces and hotels throughout Chelsea and beyond, and know that where and how a mirror is hung is just as important as the installation itself.
02. Expert Assessment
Every installation is carried out with precision, beginning with a full structural assessment to verify wall structure, locate studs and detect sub-surface hazards such as pipes and electrics.
03. Placement Advice
Expert placement can enhance natural light, create the illusion of more spacious rooms and establish eye-catching focal points that transform any setting.
Using professional tools and specialist-rated brackets, including French cleats and Z bars, we guarantee the stability and security of every mirror we install.

OUR PROCESS
Our Simple, Professional Process
-
Our process begins with understanding your vision, before applying expert placement recommendations and layout planning that consider lighting, spacing, and optimal sightlines. For larger or more complex projects, we may also arrange a site visit to ensure our planning is as thorough as possible. You will then receive a comprehensive project estimate covering the number of installers required and any specialist equipment needed.
Getting started is straightforward. Simply fill out our online enquiry form or call us directly. We provide a clear, transparent quote with no hidden fees, and offer flexible scheduling to suit your availability, including early mornings, evenings and weekends. Out-of-hours bookings are available with advance notice, and standard bookings are typically confirmed within 1–3 working days. Same-day and urgent installations are also available.
-
Our technicians arrive fully equipped with professional tools, quality fixings, ladders, access equipment and all protective materials needed to safeguard your property and artwork throughout.
A detector is first used to check walls for concealed pipes or electrics. Fixing points are then marked using high-sensitivity masking tape and a laser level for perfect alignment. Our technicians are experts in structural integrity and always use appropriate fixings for the surface, whether plasterboard, brick, concrete, microcement or lath and plaster. We can also fit artworks with hanging straps or D rings where necessary.
For maximum stability, we hang from two points rather than one, preventing movement over time. Security fixings are also available for high-value pieces.
Drilling is carried out with the correct tools and dust extraction methods, and we use floor blankets, shoe covers and nitrile gloves throughout to protect your space. Once complete, we vacuum the area and conduct a full walkthrough with you, making any final adjustments to ensure the result matches your vision. We guarantee a clean, mess-free installation every time.

FAQS

While handymen can hang pictures, our fine art technicians bring specialised expertise in artwork handling, visual composition, and museum-standard installation techniques. We understand art presentation, proper lighting considerations and how to create cohesive displays – not just secure mounting.
-
Please provide the number of artworks or mirrors requiring installation, noting any large pieces (over 1.5–2m) or heavy items (over 20kg). Let us know if installation is needed on stairs or at heights above 2m. If you have a specific deadline, we'll do our best to meet it. Photos of the space and items are always helpful.

Yes, we specialise in heavy mirrors and large-scale art installations. On plasterboard walls, we can typically secure items up to 80kg, and brick or concrete walls can accommodate much heavier pieces. We use load-tested fixings appropriate for each wall type and artwork weight.
-
Every project is unique. A large or complex piece may take up to an hour, while smaller artworks can be installed at approximately 5 to 6 per hour. Installation time depends on wall type, required fixings, existing hardware and the complexity of the arrangement. We provide estimated timeframes when you book.

We typically recommend positioning the centre of a picture at eye level (150–155cm) for balance and visual harmony. For mirrors, we often place them slightly lower, at shoulder to eye height, for functionality and to maximise reflected light. We'll always position items for your review before finalising the installation.
