Berkshire-based art installers covering Reading, Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley and the wider Thames Valley. Same-day quotes, experienced technicians, gallery-grade fixings.

Mastering Your Walls

Picture hanging Reading homeowners and businesses rely on. We’re a Berkshire team of 14 trained installers and curators, rated five stars on Google and featured on BBC DIY SOS. Most weeks our vans are somewhere between Caversham and Lower Earley, hanging a gallery wall, a heavy bevelled mirror, or a full office install across the Thames Valley.

services we offer in reading

Picture Hanging

Single pieces, gallery walls, multi-room residential installs and commercial fit-outs. Plasterboard, lath and plaster, brick, or the older party walls in central Reading terraces, we carry fixings rated for every substrate.

Mirror Hanging

Bevelled mirrors, antique frames, bathroom and overmantel installs. Two-person lifts standard on anything above 25kg. Insured up to £5m. 

Picture Rail Systems

ArtiTeq and STAS systems supplied and installed. Useful in Reading rentals, listed properties around the town centre, and offices where wall damage isn't an option. 

Art Installation & Curation

Larger residential collections, gallery-style hangs, exhibitions and full commercial installs. We can curate the layout if you'd like a second eye, or follow a designer's plan to the millimetre.

What we see in Reading homes and offices

Reading property stock is mixed, so the right fixings change street by street. Older terraces in central Reading and Caversham tend to be lath and plaster, which is beautiful but unforgiving. We use larger washers and longer fixings to spread the load properly. Newer developments around Green Park and Lower Earley are mostly metal-stud plasterboard, which needs Gripit or Toggler fixings for anything above 5kg. The big Edwardian villas along Bath Road handle pretty much anything, although the cornicing means a couple of millimetres’ precision matters when lining up gallery walls. Whatever the wall, we bring the right fixings.

Why Reading clients choose Hang It Services

Fourteen installers across the company, not a one-man band. So we can put two technicians on the same Reading job in a day, and reschedule around access without leaving you waiting weeks.

Properly insured (up to £5m public liability), Good Business Charter accredited, and rated five stars on Google with reviews from across Berkshire. We've been featured on BBC DIY SOS, and our partner network of 25+ galleries, framers and interior designers includes long-standing Reading relationships.

No mess either. Floors and furniture protected, rooms left cleaner than we found them. We bring our own fixings rated for the weight and the wall type, so you're not standing in B&Q on a Saturday trying to work out what a Fischer SX6 is.

Would highly recommend Conor from Hang it Services. He did a great job with about 50 pictures and a heavy mirror in my house. He took time to advise me which pictures could stay where they are, which could be rehung or regrouped and the best place for them to go. He then worked quickly and professionally to get everything up by the end of the day. I am very happy with the result!

Extremely happy with the service I received from Hang It Services. Callum put up a large very heavy mirror and several pictures for us. He advised on placement knowledgeably and was meticulous with measurements to ensure that the items were hung where we agreed and perfectly straight. He was professional and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

I had Rowan to hang about 30 pictures both large and small after a redecoration and he’s done a fantastic job and also gave invaluable advice on placement. Some are hung lower than I would have put them or grouped slightly differently but this is where it pays to use an expert rather than getting in a handyman as they look so very good.

James visited for the second time to hang some more pictures. From initial enquiry to carrying out the task is quick. He takes time to explain the options of hanging and also what will look best. He works efficiently and tidily. I would have no hesitation in recommending James for any hanging requirements that you may have.

Absolutely loved the experience of having ‘Hang It’ sort all my pictures out. James was brilliant and has such a good eye for what works where . I can’t recommend them enough, from the super friendly and efficient David in the office, to meeting and spending the day with James. Moving house can be so stressful but using such a brilliant company to hang your pictures is definitely a wonderful treat. Thanks guys , Gaynor
