'Art Installation Made Effortless'
Our picture hanging service covers Chipping Norton, Over Norton, Charlbury, Kingham and the wider OX7 area. We’re a team of gallery-trained installers and curators with a technician based in Oxford, forty minutes up the A44, rated five stars on Google and featured on BBC DIY SOS. From a single canvas above the sofa in a Burford Road family home to a 30-piece install across a Church Street town house, we bring the same meticulous approach to every job.
Working in Chipping Norton family homes, Cotswold-stone town houses and the north Cotswold villages
Chipping Norton is the highest town in Oxfordshire and a working one, and most of its everyday housing is on the slopes either side of the centre: the 1930s and post-war streets off Burford Road and Banbury Road, the 1970s and 80s estates around Hailey Avenue and Cotswold Crescent, and the newer developments on the eastern edge of town. Brick and hard plaster in the older houses; blockwork and dot-and-dab plasterboard in the newer ones, which changes the fixing for anything heavy. This is family-home territory, with Chipping Norton School, the Paddington line from Kingham and Charlbury and a steady trickle of people trading Oxford or London for the hills, so a lot of our work follows a house move. We hang gallery walls up stairwells, single pieces over mantels and full residential rollouts. A single piece in one room is just as welcome as a whole-house install.
The centre is the period layer, all Cotswold stone: the Market Place with its Town Hall, the Georgian and earlier fronts of High Street, West Street, Horsefair and New Street, the 17th-century almshouses on Church Street and the wool church of St Mary’s below them. Most of it is listed and inside the conservation area. Then there’s Bliss Tweed Mill, the chimney you see from every road into town, now apartments with tall arched windows, exposed stone and ceiling heights that swallow a small canvas. Rubble stone walls two feet thick, lime plaster, timber lintels, and the Victorian stone terraces of Rock Hill and Albion Street around the mill: we find solid stone rather than a mortar joint before drilling, use reversible fixings on soft lime plaster and fit picture hanging systems where listed building consent rules out new holes.
The villages are where the plots grow. Charlbury, Chadlington, Churchill and Kingham along the Evenlode, the Wychwoods to the south-west, Great Tew, Enstone and Heythrop to the east, and the Rollrights, Hook Norton and Long Compton up on the ironstone to the north: stone cottages under stone slate, converted barns, old rectories and farmhouses, a fair share of them weekend homes, and substantial modern houses with double-height hallways and galleried landings that call for large pieces and heavy mirrors. We’ll always confirm the wall type before drilling, whatever the property.

Yes. A lot of our Chipping Norton work is one piece in one room. Photo-First quote system means you’ll know the price before we arrive, so there’s no minimum-spend surprise.
Yes. The town-centre houses are rubble limestone under lime plaster, so we find solid stone rather than a mortar joint, keep fixings reversible in soft plaster and fit picture hanging systems where listed building consent rules out new wall holes. Bliss Mill is exposed stone and very tall walls, and some leases restrict drilling, so we’ll check what the management company allows and fix accordingly, often with a rail system that avoids the stone altogether.

Charlbury, Chadlington, Churchill, Kingham, the Wychwoods, Enstone, Great Tew, Hook Norton, the Rollrights, Long Compton, Chastleton, Bledington, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh are all inside our Chipping Norton coverage, whichever county they sit in.
