MIRROR INSTALLATION
Our Professional Mirror Hanging Service
01. Qualified specialists
Our qualified technicians work across residential homes, offices, commercial spaces and hotels throughout Oxfordshire 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.
04. Professional Equipment
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 1β3 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.
THE TEAM
Our gallery-trained technicians arrive fully equipped for any location, bringing specialist tools, access equipment and a commitment to tidiness and clear communication.
Beyond installation, we offer expert curation advice on artwork placement and layout for homeowners, collectors, architects, production teams and interior designers, delivering professional results at a price that works for you.
Over the years, we have established ourselves as one of The UKβs leading fine art installation companies, serving clients across Oxfordshire, the surrounding areas, and beyond.
Oxfordshire has a diverse architectural history, from the Cotswold stone of Chipping Norton and Burford to the scholarly grandeur of Oxford city centre. Gilbert Art Services provides a specialist picture hanging service tailored for Oxfordshire, catering to the high-ceilinged townhouses of North Oxford, the sprawling country estates in the Cotswolds, and the sleek, contemporary barn conversions found throughout the Thames Valley.
Our specialist installers are experienced with the unique wall structures found across the countyβs residential and commercial spaces. Whether we are expertly anchoring heavy vintage mirrors into the traditional masonry of a period manor in Woodstock or designing a precision-aligned gallery wall in a minimalist renovation in Abingdon, we balance technical skills with a refined aesthetic eye.
