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.
