NOTHING TOO BIG OR SMALL
Picture Hanging Service
At Gilbert Art Services, we combine technical expertise with a refined aesthetic eye to deliver gallery standard installations with five star customer satisfaction. While hanging artwork might seem straightforward, our professional picture hanging service eliminates the risk of damaging your artworks or walls. We assess your wall type, whether lath and plaster, solid masonry or plasterboard and utilise specialist hardware for permanent fitting. Using laser-levelling, our art hanging service calculates the spacing and balance required to display everything from:
Paintings and fine art
Photographs and prints
Gallery walls and montage groupings
Our expert art installation service is fully equipped to handle complex gallery wall layouts and staircase picture frame sequences, utilising specialist stair ladders and scaffold towers. For high-traffic corporate offices, hotel lobbies, public galleries, or busy family homes, our art hanging service can also supply and integrate specialised anti-theft security fixings that lock frames flat and securely to the wall along with rail systems for damage free and flexible art hanging solutions.
Gilbert Art Services provides a seamless art installation service across London and the Home Counties, working alongside private homeowners, interior designers, collectors, and corporate teams. By combining a professional picture hanging service with clean, efficient execution, we ensure your entire collection is displayed safely and appreciated to its absolute potential.
LARGE AND HEAVY MIRROR INSTALLATION
Mirror Hanging Service
At Gilbert Art Services, we understand that mirrors are more than functional items; when correctly positioned, they act as a statement piece capable of completely transforming a room’s light, depth, and spatial dynamics. However, because large mirrors are both exceptionally heavy and structurally fragile, achieving a flawless finish requires an understanding of wall structures and load bearing capacity. Our specialist installers provide a high-end, mirror hanging service across London, using specialist fixings to ensure stability and the longevity of the installation.
No project is too ambitious or heavy for our team to handle safely. While a single technician can efficiently manage standard installations, we can also manage large jobs with multiple installers and bring in lifting equipment or scaffolding towers for oversized, high-access, or extremely heavy antique mirrors. To help us determine the exact team and hardware required for your project, simply contact us with the approximate dimensions, estimated weight, and wall type of your mirror, and we will handle the rest with absolute precision and care.
